The hallway of trees in San Diego County California is one of those unique photo locations that photographers search for because of all the beautiful diversity of backgrounds and the soft natural light! I wish it was just a little bit closer to me in Oceanside but I think it was definitely worth the trip, I love the photos we got from this sweet family session.

Honestly? They barely noticed I was there. So in love!!
Just two people, wildly into each other,
cracking up on the beach like it’s the only place that matters.
10/10 would third wheel again.

Did Oceanside get cuter, or am I just noticing more now?
Shot this sweet branding session for @brookes_mind_therapy at one of my favorite coffee spots—and yeah, it’s wild how much this neighborhood has changed. I used to live just around the corner back in college when it was... let’s say, a little rougher around the edges.
Time does its thing. Places evolve.
And I love seeing small businesses thrive in spaces that feel this good.

A wild little laugh, some flying baby limbs, and a dad who’s all in. These are the moments you can’t plan, and honestly, why would you?

Just two people and a whole new chapter rolling in with the tide.
No shoes. No stress.
Just soaking it in before everything changes.

I love color… but black and white? It completely took the cake for this session.
There’s just something about it—how it strips everything down to the connection, the emotion, the light.
Black and white portraiture feels timeless in the best way.
It doesn’t follow trends. It doesn’t age. It simply *is.*
For this family, it felt like the perfect fit—simple, honest, and full of feeling.
The kind of portraits that will look just as beautiful in 30 years as they do today.
