This, right here, is why I love what I do!
I enjoyed a delightful “Day in the Life” family session with this little guy and his wonderful parents. We had so much fun playing and exploring… and just being. It “fills my cup” watching the family connection through my lens, and capturing their story. Such a personal and charming experience, which results in beautiful photos of those cherished, authentic, heartfelt moments in a family’s life.
And today, this sweetie chose to climb into MY arms when he got tired at the end of our session! Yep! That was the 🍒 on top! ❤️
- Best parents EVER!

Of all the photos I’ve taken through the years, this one tugs at my heart the most.
The saying goes, “a picture is worth a thousand words”, and this one here, well, it tells a whole story.
My dad and his brother were giants among men, the very best of friends, and absolutely and deservedly cherished by their friends and family.
I ache to have one more hug, one more smile, one more story from these guys. I have instead, photos like this. Thank goodness for that.

“My sculpting is free in nature with no real plan; much how I live my life.” Blake Bailey, a self-taught artist, has a profound love of the ocean, which is expressed through his art. I wanted to create an image that reflects Blake’s free spirit while showcasing his work. This was an assignment for magazine’s editorial featuring Pacific Gallery in Laguna Beach. I loved this assignment! It’s pretty cool photographing artists! They have this vibe that I really enjoy, and of course, they are always game for a creative shot! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
