{Ayres Wedding} (4/21/18)

Getting the opportunity to shoot an incredible intimate wedding at the Allegetto Vineyard Resort is already quite an experience.. but when you're asked to shoot the OWNER of the Allegretto's intimate wedding in the beautiful Abby chapel- THAT is an honor. :) Doug, Michelle and approximately 25 of their close family and friends came together on a beautiful April afternoon to celebrate the love that Doug and Michelle share for one another. Everything about this special day was unique and perfect- then add a dash of live acoustic music to the mix throughout the ceremony and i'd say it was pretty close to perfection! hehe... wishing a lifetime of love and happiness to Mr. and Mrs. Ayres. :) 

{Tonkin Maternity} (4/15/18)

The wonderful Tonkin family and I were reunited once again!! I've been taking photos of this beautiful clan over the past few years and I was beside myself to find out that they would be welcoming a bouncing baby boy to the family! What better way to document such a momentous occasion than among the stunning wildflowers before they went back into hibernation for the year. :)

{Barger Family - Lifestyle/Newborn} (3/25/18)

Sweet sweet Barger Family! Once a family of 3 now welcomes baby Paisley to the clan! I just love being able to capture families in their natural environment- the comfort of their own homes! It makes for a happy newborn and a stress free session that can be cherished years down the road. :) Thank you Barger family for welcoming me into your home and letting me continue to capture such wonderful moments for your growing family. <3

{Kaitlin & Trevor - Spring Engagement} (2/25/18)

Fun fact- I can't nor will I ever deny my wedding client's visions they have for their engagement shoots!! Kaitlin, Trevor and I got together back in November for their original engagement session, and although we love the way the photos turned out I just KNEW Kaitlin still had a vision of spring along the rolling hills for her ultimate engagement photos. SO the three of us packed up and ran off to San Luis Obispo to brave the wind and finally bring Kaitlin's ideas to life! and boy are these photos EVERYTHING!! i'm so in love with how they turned out and I can't wait to capture Kaitlin and Trevor's big day in August at the beautiful Hartley Farms!!

{Keba & Valor} (2/17/18)

Oh my heart.<3 When my dear friend Keba and I began brainstorming her and her precious daughter's "Mommy and Me" session I got instant heart eyes!! Every small detail truly made for a fantastic outcome- from the location, to the handmade floral crown Valor donned, Aaliyah Qaadir's amazing hair/makeup skills and ofcourse Keba's to die for velvet dress courtesy of Black Water Clothing (www.shopblackwater.com).  PINCH ME!

{Barger Family - Maternity} (1/13/18)

Man oh man this evening's session was so incredibly beautiful! The weather on the coast was pure perfection and just solidifies the fact that we are SO spoiled to be able to enjoy these "California Winter's" where we live! :D The warm sunset that blanketed the beautiful Barger family was everything I could have hoped for. I can't wait to see these 3 (soon to be 4!) once baby Paisley joins this world!! 

{Mafnas Family} (11/19/17}

FAVORITE FAMILY ALERT! ok I probably say that about EVERY family I have the pleasure of working with BUT I also get to spend 5 days a week with this lovely Mama at my full-time job so i'm kinda biased :P The Mafnas Family is always soooo much fun to work with and little miss Rory has the most hilarious personality! I swear I could take pictures of these 4 all day everyday and be completely happy. :) 

{Kaitlin & Trevor- Engaged} (11/12/17)

Gahhh I just can't with these two!! I decided that 2018 was going to be a new chapter for me. That I was going to take the year off from shooting weddings while I take some "me time" in the summer while I help my best friend prepare for her wedding.. but fate just wouldn't allow it! Beautiful miss Kaitlin and I were texting about locations to shoot her and her boyfriend Trevor's upcoming couple's photos when an amazing thing happened. Trevor proposed THAT DAY!! eeeek!! Even though Kaitlin knew I was planning on taking the 2018 wedding season off she knew I could not miss the opportunity of capturing her walking down the aisle! So- I present to you the only couple who will be gracing my 2018 weddings! And I couldn't be more excited!!
