Pasadena City hall is one of my favorite locations and just always comes out looking gorgeous with so many different staircases, fountains, and a gorgeous rooftop that showcases the city hall's beautiful architecture. Allison and Jakob live in Pasadena so this city is...

Jane and Robert are a match made in heaven. Their friends and family expressed that they couldn’t believe what a perfect match they were and were so happy they found each other. They both work in law enforcement, are career-driven, family-oriented, and have the...

When Sarah contacted me about her wedding and told me what her theme was all about, it made me very excited about her wedding. She told me that her wedding was going to be witchy. She confided in me that her wedding dress was going to be black and that really excited...

There is nothing more important to me than being there for my family. I traveled to Utah earlier this month to photograph my cousin’s daughter Analeigha. Although Analeigha grew up in Utah and I didn’t get to spend as much time with her as I did her older siblings, I...

As we loaded our equipment for the day into the car, it began to rain, lightly. They say that rain on your wedding day is good luck. I say that cloudy weather is the best for photos. Either way, both made for a beautiful day full of love and a much-needed break from...

I know so many of us have the same story. Growing up a bit chunky, comparing ourselves to our friends, and finally dieting in order to be more accepted by our peers and ourselves. My dieting journey began when I wasn't even 12 years old. My friends in junior high were...

Not only is Shyann gorgeous but she’s truly one of the kindest and best people I know. I always shoot her a message when I need a model and she’s always excited and up for the task. I’m constantly grateful for her existence and she always expresses how grateful she is...

When Sarah contacted me and told me the look she was trying to achieve for her photoshoot I was all for it. She reminds me a lot of my daughter Maya who is all about witchy stuff, horror movies, and Halloween. The black sparkly dress that I brought to the photo...

Mariah looked so beautiful for her fabulous quinceanera and it was seriously so much fun. We started her pre-shoot at the horse ranch where her family rented her a gigantic black horse for her photos. Her mom said it was sentimental because when Mariah was little she...

When Priscilla and Kurtis told me they were getting married in Oxnard at a location I had not yet been to, I was excited for a new challenge. When my assistant and I arrived at Heritage Square Chapel we scouted the area for the best lighting and locations at the...
