the baby bliss✨

10 months they waited for you. Wondered the way you’d look, smell, feel. How long you’d be and how much you’d weigh. Through the pain, uncertainty they watched you grow throw scans and many pictures where you held your hands by your face as you wanted to be a surprise. Then the time came and you were here, in the long hours of the night right before the sun rose. You joined them earth side with tired eyes and hearts full of love for you. It was only a couple hours since you had been, not even a full day when I came. I came to capture your beauty, your details and watch mom & dad step into a new chapter. Messy hair, in pjs with coffee in hand they just wanted to hold you, love on you and take in how tiny you were as from here on you’d never be this small again. They entered baby bliss when two now becomes three and husband and wife become mom and dad. They felt you, held you and made sure they’d never forget this time. Your hands so tiny and soft, your head fit perfect in dads hand as he chuckled about how perfect you were. You winked and smiled for us for the first time & you surely loved being in mamas arms. This is the time we’ll never forget & truly cherish💙

golden rays, sea salted air, toes in the sand — just the place to be 🐚

do you remember your first time ever seeing the ocean? Feeling the sand between your toes? The sounds of it all. Seeing others play soccer in the sand. People jumping in and out of the water. Do you remember? These littles will.

This cute family came in from out of state to get some golden sunshine in between winter hits in the mountains. It was their littles first time to the beach. They were so curious & nervous all at once. Hearing the waves crash, the wet sand, the uncertainty of it all led to so much curiosity. You see people flying in the sky and wonder where you are. The kiddos run the session and we allowed them to explore. We could not get close to the water but we found this hole filled with the sea salted ocean and that was good enough for the first time. They cleaned rocks, piled sand, splashed around and soon the water was cool and the beach was fun. We ran around like the airplanes above us flying around. We took steps, danced and a lot of firsts happened. A core memory was built and filled with laughter, love, a lot of snuffles and kisses. To end the night we enjoyed the sunset and walked to see how cold the water was. For the first time at the beach it was perfect for this cute cozy family💛

falling into a beautiful life🍁

theres no better way to enjoy fall here in San Diego than playing in the leaves and being out in nature. what a beautiful day with such an amazing family. I met Hannah and her family when she was pregnant and it was such an honor to see them again with their newest edition. With giggles and a lot of love on the bridge, we ran, laughed, had some family friendly competition & found out sissy really loves her brother. then we headed over to this beautiful tree and found mass piles of leaves so why not play in them?! Truly autumn is about letting things go and getting ready to rejuvenate during the winter season so we must have fun! Leafs filled the air & new experiences were made. During my time I let my kiddos become the photographer, its a tradition in my sessions. It allows you to have a very special keep sake from your loved one, their point of view changes everything. We ended are night with many hugs and finding a huge spider. What a fun way to ring in the autumn air & celebrate a growing family.

Hannah thank you for inviting me back into your lives to capture your growing family❤️

excitement fills the air as flags wave, tears are held back and dreams come true✨

oh man I’m going to sob again. every homecoming is emotional. this one hits home because with long standing time apart and moments before you are getting ready to go home, something tries to stop you. but you prevailed, you flew many miles to just see your family from up above screaming and waving for you. As they wait on land for you to land, park and run over to you because 300+ days is too long. 300 days without hugs, kisses, moments. Your son holds tightly onto his Harry Potter book as his excitement bubbles up because he can’t wait to pick up where you left off. Your little girls anxiously waiting because finally papa is coming home. And your beautiful wife surprising you with your family, her village - your village as they are how you both got through it. You hit the ground and they say go and get em. We all start running. You see your family, you look over to your wife and you both finally exhale and start to tear up because this ever waited moment feels so surreal. You both don’t know what to do. The kids tackle papa and you all take some time to hold one another. Excitement finally relaxes and all the emotions come out, the tears shed for everyone as you grip one another tighter and it feels lighter to breathe. You look in the distance and see your village running towards you to welcome you home. Everyone you could imagine there, was there indeed. You are welcomed home in the best way possible. As everyone walks back to grab their things you & your wife meet up one more time. A moment just for you two.. it’s like you were meeting for the first time. Long awaited and truly a moment where you fall into one another because two half’s of a heart have been joined together again. Finally the world has come together, life has brought you precious moments and all is good in the world.

I sobbed like a baby.. welcome home❤️

add a plus one to this adventure please🩵

and just like that three became four. I go back to the moment where it was just two, he came home and she ran up to give him the biggest hug. then two became three, that plus sign showed one day and soon to be parents were waiting the arrival of their baby girl. life was enjoyed and then all of a sudden another pink plus sign came along. overjoyed and filled with so much love, two watched as the three of them together would fade but a new little plus one would be added to such a loving home. a baby boy🩵 as we danced on the beach, allowing the waves to chase us & spending the last moments as a family unit of three — it was like yesterday as we were blessed with the most gorgeous sunset. Soon number four joined them earth side. the growth of a family, a family I knew before they were parents.. through their first little and now their second. Being able to follow a family through life is the biggest honor I have in my career as a photographer. It’s about snapping these precious moments. As big sissy is so curious over baby brother. As mom and dad enjoy the beauty of a growing family, the growing love they have for one another. As their family is complete. They take in these moments and cherish them for a lifetime. And now they await for life’s next adventure as a family of four, growing, learning and with a house full of love and laughter🩵

salted airy, sun rays & the diamond of the sea 💍

imagine 30 people around watching a gorgeous sunset and truly you forget they are all their because you’re in your own love bubble. The sea salt from the ocean breeze fills the air, the waves crash harder and harder upon the rocks below & you just get lost in one another eyes. Celebrating the last moments in sunny San Diego bride jetting off to your next best adventure. Between the laughter, giggles, silent moments, bottle of ch*****ne popping — it’s a moment forever frozen in time for these two love birds. Sun-kissed by their last San Diego sunset and whisked away by the ocean breeze🩵

a love letter not written with words but written in between hand holds, kisses, glances of eyes and exchanges of smirks from close & far away💗

the moment where all the little tiny details come together. for a moment I want to go back, back to Catalina Island. He had just gotten down on one knee and with tears streaming down her face she said yes. Unknowing what was to come, we road down to this quaint little town and blissfully talked about a specific moment. One that meant so much and will stick with me forever. Mary had talked about her parents wedding and this backyard wedding with Polaroid cameras and loved ones around. The glimmer in her eye and the passion as she day dreamt about her own wedding was a magical thing to see. Fast forward to August 24,2026 — many phone calls prior, dress picking, hair designing, cake choosing and the day was finally here. Surrounded by loved ones, the only way they wanted it. As we checked in, he watched her write down her last name (soon to be hers) & the smile that crossed his face that she was soon to be his wife. A moment I know he’ll never forget. Family gathered and we walked outside to watch as they looked at one another, allowing tears to fall, exchanging rings and sealing their vow with a kiss that left everyone in tears (including me fogging up my view finder). Hugs exchanged, excitement still to come as now they are husband and wife. Private moments taken, laughs exchanged and homages made towards previous times we spent together, none forgotten but this one held a special place for all of us, including me. A wedding day celebrated with so much love and happiness. From girlfriend & boyfriend to now husband and wife — the years spent capturing different stages of your life and to now call you dear friends of mine. What an honor it is to celebrate your love and write a love letter through the details of the photograph.

Part Two coming soon.. 🫶🏻

some moments feel like dreams & it’s magic when dreams come true ✨

I wonder how long they spent day dreaming about these moments from the day they met - fell in love & knew this was their favorite person in the world. To look at someone and feel the curves of your lips go upwards because everytime you look at them something inside you goes ooooo you’re my favorite person. Moments getting to hold one another, walk around, explore and love on one another. Meeting eachother in the sacred space of intimacy where love, passion and compassionship lie. Where only your partner gets to see you & fall in love with all of you. From the romantic moments to super serious and then laughing so hard your tummy hurts. those are the moments. Being so silly that truly you forget where you are. Well there day dreams came true as we wondered around, chatted about life and I got to peel back layer by layer such an intimate relationship that only they know & I got to witness. Exploring the wonders of balboa to playing in high tide in Del Mar, there is no better way to spend the day than in your arms making memories that will stay with us for a lifetime 💗
