Kathryn & Chris – Engaged!
Wandering the alleys of La Jolla and sharing a sunset on the sand. Loved getting to spend time with these two. Now, it’s on to their wedding planning with Ever After Events. Enjoy…
Sarah & Chris – Malibu Engagement
Chris grew up surfing and spending time around Point Dume beach in Malibu. It’s only fitting that he asked Sarah to be his wife on on this beach as well. Their story continues in this spot when they asked me to photograph their engagement session in the sand and surf of these beaches. As the…
Serena & Ollie – Engaged
Something I immediately noticed when we began this session is the way Serena falls into Ollie’s arms. I’m all about a good metaphor…and this, to me, represents trust. Body language like this isn’t a verbal queue that I ask for, it just sort of shows itself. Every couple does this in slightly different ways and,…
Morgan & Bryan – Engaged
One thing I love…hanging out with smart, thoughtful people like Morgan and Bryan. Estancia was the runner up in their venue search so we met up to take images around their stellar grounds and we then headed to the beach for some quintessential Southern California beach time for sunset. Doesn’t get any better than this….
Dear 2020…
Dear 2020, It’s currently June and you’re only six months old. In these past six months you’ve challenged me in many, many ways. First, you challenged my business and you tested my resiliency with COVID-19. Then, you not only challenged the way I view the world I live in but you challenged the awareness I’ve…
Mollie & Jason – Engaged!

Andrea & Curtis – Lido Newport Beach Engagement Session
As photographers, what is it about a couple that inspires us? Maybe an engagement session at a location that’s special to the couple… Nervous energy that results in laughs and amazing smiles… Shy affection… Andrea and Curtis are all these things and more. We spent time in Lido, Newport Beach…not because it’s super quaint with…
Olivia & Zack – Engaged!
It’s people like Olivia and Zack that remind me of one important fact of life: laughing makes the world go round. Taking a step back and watching these two make each other smile and laugh made our time together so effortless. Just wait till you see how good these two are together. Congratulations O &…
Sophie & Matt – Engaged
After I sent Sophie and Matt their engagement images, I received a text message… “We love the images, and one of our favorite things about them is that they bring up such great memories from how fun that day was for us.” I’ve been thinking about Sophie’s sentence for a couple days and there’s one…
Engagement Sessions – What to Expect
There’s a lot of information out there about engagement sessions. A lot of good information. A lot of distracting information. I’ve been lucky enough to photograph a lot of engagement sessions over the years and I’d like to share a few ideas to make your session a true reflection of who you as a couple. Element…
