I was flipping through another lovely edition of Real Weddings Magazine at Barnes and Nobles when I discovered a wonderful layout of details from Lizzy and Tom’s Bahamas wedding earlier this year! I was so excited for the great placement in the magazine and how beautiful the surprise piece was. Here it is, copies of this great magazine are still on the newsstands:)

“I just want one good family photo.”
I hear this all the time. And I get it!
But I promise—family photos aren’t about looking perfect. They’re about remembering what this stage of life feels like. The joy. The chaos. The love.
Every senior has their own story, and that’s exactly why I love customizing each session to reflect who they are. For her, that meant starting at San Dieguito High School, a place that’s shaped so much of her journey. With its artistic and unique campus, it was the perfect setting to capture her dedication to both academics and athletics.
From there, we headed to Swami’s Beach in Encinitas, a spot filled with family memories and a place she’s spent countless hours over the years. The mix of these two locations—school and home, discipline and relaxation—felt like the perfect way to capture this milestone.
Senior year is about so much more than just a diploma. It’s about the moments, the hard work, and the places that made you who you are. That’s why every session I photograph is different, designed around you. If you’re graduating in 2025, let’s create something that tells your story.
✨ Real life is full of movement, laughter, and a little bit of chaos—and that’s exactly what makes the best photos. Let them play, I’ll do the rest. 📸 #LetThemBeLittle #CandidChildhood #familyphotography
