Just a Few More.

Just a few more of Jack and Emily's engagements in Encinitas.

Beautiful Emily.

Going through Jack and Emily's images and found this BEAUTIFUL shot of Emily that I had to share. She's this beautiful inside and out. Jack is one LUCKY man!!

Engagements: Jack and Emily in Encinitas.

I seriously love this couple! Jack and Emily are so full of love and life. . . and love FOR life! It was SO MUCH fun photographing them in Encinitas last month. Guys, I can't wait for your wedding in October! See you soon!!

Smith Family: Just Because.

I love "Just Because" sessions. The thought that people are documenting their love for no other reason than that . . . well that they love each other is just magic to me! Enjoy the beautiful Smith family!

OH! And YES! Her eyes are THAT BLUE- I did not do a THING to them!!

Marcus and Lee Yen.

These two totally met when they were 10 years old! They moved to different continents. . . didn't really stay in touch and then re-connected years later in Hawaii. Their love story is dizzyingly romantic. They are truly meant to be! I love it! Enjoy Marcus and his Lee Yen.

A Glimpse at Fun Things to Come.

Doxey Family.

This darling couple was SO fun to hang out with. They're AMAZINGLY comfortable together. I LOVED shooting them. They just graduated from BYU-Hawaii and now they're off to gallivant around Europe for the summer! It was a joy guys! Congrats on the graduation!

This post is gonna be a doosie. . . I'll warn you it's LONG. . . Deep breath, and here we go.

What's a Girl To Do?

What's a girl to do when every image from a shoot is her favorite image? Well, I'll tell you what she'll do. Tomorrow, she'll post a LOT of images. Stay tuned for the Doxey family!

Coming Soon:

Service is our Business.

More Niki and Matthieu

Matthieu and Niki.

This couple was SO.MUCH.FUN. We laughed. A lot! You two are gems. Thanks for the fun!

I'm going to start things off right with my favorite shot of the day.









I love this shot. Is she not absolutely knock out?

These two lovebirds met in Chemistry class. I kid you not! So, they had the darling idea to take a couple of pictures in their class room. This picture was taken just before I nearly ate it falling off the two chairs I was straddling. . . .

Introducing Matthieu and Niki.

Uploading today's engagement shoot and came across this shot I'm totally crushing on. More to come soon.

Michael and Kirsten in O.C.

Kirsten and Michael were quite the couple. Beautiful people in every way. Thank you to Heather at Amorology Weddings for the referral! Enjoy.





I'm normally a color lover. It's not like me to be so very "bland." But for this shoot, my faves just happened to be toned. Here's a colorful (ish. . . ha ha. . . not really though, huh?) one just for the sake of it.

Nate and April

Nate and April the beautiful. Such a sweet couple. It was a pleasure! Thanks guys! Enjoy.

Don't Go Too Far.

More to come soon from April and Nate's engagements and the Jonathan Canlas workshop (Film is Not Dead)! Don't go to far!

Marvin and Nat.

How darling are they? They are just the very most totally-crazy-into each other couple of all time! I had a ball guys! Congrats on being young and in love and double congratulations on the soon to be forever you get to spend together!

Dizzy In Love.

I have never named a photograph before this one. Meet Dizzy In Love. I am so happy with this image. It just gives me that spinning sensation that you feel in your stomach when you're truly, madly, deeply in love.


More from this fun engagement shoot with Natalie and Marvin coming soon!

Here They Are . . . In All Their Glory.

Two wonderful teasers later. . .


It's finally time to meet Matty and Lindsay. This couple is so much fun! These two have a really fun relationship. . . buddies to the core! They just ENJOY each other, which is completely refreshing. It was a really fun shoot- We hopped all over the North Shore! I had a totally hard time choosing shots to share. They all turned out so well! That's it!! No more chit chat. . . here they are. . . in all their magnificent glory! My heartfelt congratulations to Matty and Linds on their upcoming marriage! May the fun you have together now last through the eternities!


PS- The waves were around 40ft faces when we did this shoot. . . Matty, surfer to the bone, had a really hard time staying focused. . .he just wanted to watch the surf. He'd literally gawk at the ocean with his mouth wide open. I had to keep saying, "Matty, look at me." "Matty, close your mouth." It was awesome! Ha ha ha. Good job sticking it out man!

Can't Resist.

I can't resist sharing another teaser from this shoot! Bliss bringing, huh?
