It is becoming springtime in Southern California ….
… I had no idea how much I missed this!
I haven’t experienced a SoCal spring season since 2002 … 7 years? The couple days of a Phoenix spring season don’t even compare.
Perfect weather. Cool enough that I still need a sweater. Warm enough that I don’t need anything [...]

Just an FYI for y’all …
I finally got my act together and got a California phone number. …
finally.
Please update your info …

just a glimpse at a session I’ve been editing …

It pains me how cute they are.
This is the couple whose wedding I will be shooting in Italy in October … CAN.NOT. WAIT.

A couple weeks ago I had the honor of photographing the wedding of my newest friends, Beth and Jenny …
Beth is the sister of another good friend of ours, so recently (with the wedding and Eleanor’s bday) Andrew and I have really become part of the family (whether they like it or not!)

I love doing portraits on a wedding day …
Love it.
This wedding party was SO MUCH FUN. Obviously close friends, crazy, goofy, making themselves laugh. It was a total blast.
This was also the first real chance I got to see Nick and Cora interact, since I hadn’t met Nick previously. Let me tell you – [...]

I’ve been thinking a lot about what I find inspiring … it’s something I want to record for myself and I thought you might be interested too.
So, every Wednesday I’m going to try to post a list of what is inspiring me that week. I guess kind of similar to what Susan has been doing…
Most [...]

For my Phoenix wedding clients, now is your chance to see my second shooter! Our good friend Michelle came into town over Thanksgiving weekend. She has family in Orange County that she spent most of the weekend with, but Andrew and I got to see her too.
When we drove down there we were able to [...]

And I LOVE it …
images all taken within a couple blocks of home…
all pretty much straight out of the camera…

Super quickquickquick portrait shoot with this family.
These kind of shoots are really only about getting a couple awesome shots for the Christmas card. Not my favorite kind of portraits, but I recognize the necessity of photos where everyone is smiling at the camera. Grandmothers NEED those photos.
Still fun, because – oh my gosh do you [...]
