few neat things have happened lately and I just HAVE to share! I cannot believe how FAST this year has flown by.. The biggest event for us was our wedding of course!! Its been an eventful year with work, juggling to edit way more weddings than I intended (ouch), family portraits, and plan the wedding of our dreams. The important thing is, we did it and we are more inspired this year than last. Every year continues to bring more ideas, more plans and more reason to live life to the fullest. I have this tendency to book way more than I can... View Full Post

have known Stephen for about four years now. I was young and a new art student at Point Loma University. I couldn't wait to venture into the art world and absorb what the world had to offer. Stephen on the other hand, was a business student. He played golf, liked to surf and loved San Diego. We seemed to have a few things in common and our first date was a success. Beyond our first few dates going well, we both saw something in each other that was different. When I first met Steve, I really wasn't sure what to expect. I adored his smiling... View Full Post

o, this post isn't about the movie "All about Steve" although I do hope I make it to the theaters soon to see it!! This post is about Steve and our awesome weddings. Well, its basically about Steve helping me find places to pose my bride and grooms. He hates posing for me but I think I caught a few cute shots of Steve helping me with lighting. I've been saving all my pre-wedding shots of Steve and ill be posting them periodically because they are pretty funny! (ps- he doesn't know this ) We have been shooting together now for two years and it... View Full Post

ou might have noticed that I have been MIA. Missing In Action on my blog that is...... After I got engaged, I really didn't think the process of planning a wedding would be this intense. And by intense, I mean exhausting. After shooting so many weddings, I thought it would be a BREEZE! Not so much... I have this tendency to be a VISUAL person. (Makes sense right?) So, its hard for me to invision what the day will look like. The flowers, the ceremony, the tiny little details I have been planning for years. I'm SO excited to see all these little...

ast week, I flew to a beautiful island in Hawaii and prepared myself for the long long 7 hour journey across the pacific ocean. Before I left, I sat at my computer and searched endlessly for some movies to load onto my ipod so I wouldn't act like a 5 year old and keep asking Stephen, "are we there yet?" So, I admit, I gave in and purchased the movie "Twilight". When the books first came out... I admit, I thought the concept of modern day vampires with white faces, boofy bouffant hair dos and a stare that could kill was just...well.... sort of... View Full Post

have been overwhelmed with excitement after receiving so many kind e-mails from amazing photographers around the world. I LOVE meeting new people and learning how other photographers work. More and more, I think it's extremely important to get to know photographers in your surrounding area (and beyond.) You never know when you might need some help shooting a wedding or need some extra referrals. Networking is what gets your name around the block and sends new friends your way. It's a way to learn and and a way to teach others. Lets learn... View Full Post
