{Christine and Rob} The Lodge at Torrey Pines

Christine and Rob were married at The Lodge at Torrey Pines in Del Mar. The entire event was gorgeously planned by Susanne Duffy of Crown Weddings and every detail was perfect, truly a fairy-tale wedding. The colors were bright and vibrant, the flowers were beautiful, Christine was absolutely radient and Rob was totally enchanted by her…. the couple was the definition of “cloud 9” and “best day of your life”. I had such a good time photographing this wedding, Christine and Rob were so easy going and fun to photograph and I absolutely L-O-V-E how the photos turned out. Here are a few of my favorites!

These aren’t just photos—they’re pieces of your family’s story. The tiny hands reaching for yours, the first wobbly steps, the moments that mean everything. Let’s make them last. 💛 #FamilyPhotography #HoldOntoThis #beachmemories

Out of Office + Off the Grid🌞🙌🏼🥰

This week I’m unplugging—no emails, no scrolling, no service. Just nature, friendship, and a long-awaited bucket list hike to Havasupai Falls. We’re talking real offline: sleeping under the stars, doing hard things, pushing limits, and soaking in the kind of beauty that resets your soul.

I believe in the power of stepping away, getting muddy, doing something challenging—and coming back better for it. This is how I reboot my creativity, refill the well, and return inspired to keep creating meaningful, beautiful photos for the people I’m honored to call clients.

See you next week—refreshed, recharged, and probably with sore legs and a very full heart.

You’re busy. ⁣
I know adding “family photos” to your plate might feel like one more thing. But trust me—you won’t regret having these. You’ll only regret not doing it sooner.

There’s nothing quite like the way a newborn fits perfectly in their mama’s arms. 💕⁣

These first few weeks are a blur love so big it almost doesn’t seem real. But it is. And it deserves to be remembered.⁣
⁣
Let’s capture these tender, fleeting moments—because they’re only this tiny once. ✨⁣
