When I asked Vivianna and Jorge where they wanted to take their engagement photos, they knew right away that we were going to incorporate Long Beach in any way we could.  We started with drinks to loosen up the nerves, and then we walked from the Promenade all the way to the Pike, taking photos and capturing moments all along the way.

Hello, and thanks for stopping by!  I apologize it’s been a little quiet here on the blog, but only because ‘real life’ has been fast paced and demanding lately.  I wanted to share with you something pretty cool that happened to me last month; I was featured in a local magazine!  Click HERE to read […]

If there is one thing to know for sure, it’s that love abounds in this family.  The Moffitts share a unique and strong bond that reflects Christ’s love; the kind of bond that makes you want to be part of it all.  It’s crazy to think that just 5 or 6 years ago this bunch […]

Last month I had the joy of working with the Vasquez Family to update their family portraits.  We met up for a stroll through our local park but what happened instead was pure comedy.  Elijah(6) and Jacob(2) provided nonstop laughter and entertainment as we “struggled” to snap a group photo.  Belly laughs, fist fights, and […]

Jesse & Kelly have been an institution in my life for the past eight years.  When I moved to Long Beach for college, Kelly was one of the first people I met at CSU Long Beach.  We were in the same art history class and we also found the same church.  We were kindred spirits, […]

Recently one of my past clients contacted me about maternity photos, and she was upfront about the fact that she wanted them to be amazing.  Of course we like to think all of our work is amazing, and to us it is, but I knew what she meant.  We picked a gorgeous beach, she bought […]

I met the Manfre family over the holidays when they came out for some maternity/Christmas card photos.  They were warm and wonderful clients and I secretly hoped they would ask me back to do their baby photos when the time came…  and they did. 🙂 Introducing Baby Benjamin..       What a tender bond..

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to travel up to San Luis Obispo to shoot a maternity session.  Little did I know SLO is truly a hidden gem, as far as Southern California is concerned!  Such beautiful vineyards and hillsides, but also so close to the beach!  The various locations Whitney chose made […]

You guys, my friends had a baby and he’s the cutest little thing!  Kaenon Clay, welcome to the world!  With parents like yours, I already know you’re going to be an amazing human (as if you aren’t already!) and surely a heart breaker in due time!  Thanks for posing for the camera, little man. 🙂 […]
