"Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on camera is captured forever... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything. "

Meanwhile, I got my Hubby’s back... even after the last minute packing he did hours before we had to leave for the airport, we managed to get out of the house 𝑜𝑛 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒. 🙌🏽

“Two people, two hearts, two lives, become one heart, one mind, one new life together.” ❤︎
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I learned that these two lovely human beings were expecting, I couldn’t be more excited for them. From when I shot their first shoot together at the OC Fair, witnessing their love as they tied the knot and now expecting a baby this fall, I couldn’t be more proud of their growing family. 💞
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What an honor it is to see their love blossom right before my eyes. Who would have thought that doing a model call for one of my shoots would have resulted in a beautiful friendship as I have with these two. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Congratulations Daisy + Ozzy! Love you guys! Can’t wait to shoot your maternity session soon! ❤️

Happy Jr. High Promotion Day to my fave assistant and bonus daughter, Aalyssa! 👩🏻‍🎓❤️ For those of you that don’t know, I came into Aalyssa’s life when she was 5 years old. I still remember the first day I met her, we were on the way to Disneyland and she waited so anxiously to meet me. Standing inside of the car, barely reaching the ceiling and now she is taller than I am! Ha! As soon as I saw her, we had an immediate connection, she hugged me so tightly and at that very moment I knew that I was meant to be in her life!

I can’t believe that in a few short months she will be entering a new chapter in her life, high school! Dun, dun, dun🙄😝 But seriously, I have no doubt she will do great things. With me (and her Dad) as her cheerleaders, the sky is the limit for this beauty!
I am SO proud of the young lady you have become and thankful God chose me to guide you and raise you to be the person you are today. The unbreakable and irreplaceable bond we share is one I will always cherish and hope it only continues to blossom during your high school and adult years. I am always here for you whenever you need me.
𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒈𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 on all your accomplishments thus far. I look forward to witness all the success in your life and celebrate with you every step of the day. 🎉

So today, we celebrate you and how wonderful you are, my sweet daughter!
𝑊𝑒 𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑒 𝑦𝑜𝑢.😘

“You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away.” ☀️❤️

I’ve been asked quite often recently if I still photograph Families, I certainly do and will be releasing dates for Family Fall/Holiday sessions in a couple months. Stay tuned and please remember to book your dates as soon as they are released. Due to my travels and wedding schedule, I will only be offering these sessions for a limited time only. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Speaking of Families, meet the Perez Family. I just did this shoot with them last week and baby Leo was seriously the best baby! No matter what pose we put him in, he didn’t make a peep or cry. This was also his first time at the beach and he was lovin’ it. Isn’t he adorable? 💙
