This North San Diego County engagement session was at one of my favorite natural locations in Fallbrook! I loved working with this couple here an love how the photos came out! The colors they wore were perfect and it was so easy to photograph these two! I am can’t to work with them on the wedding day. It is going to be an amazing event full of love and fun and I know it will be a fabulous wedding because it is coordinated by Susanne Duffy of Crown Weddings<3 I have been working with Crown Weddings for years and without fail every single wedding we have done together turns out absolutely amazing!!

There’s something magical about the way newborns settle into sleep. Each baby has their own way of curling up or stretching out, and I love capturing those little details that make them them. 💛
A moment that changes everything.⁣
⁣
One second, you’re just two people in love. The next, you’re saying yes to forever. Let’s capture the joy, the surprise, the way your hands shake just a little—because this is a moment you’ll want to relive again and again.
Motherhood Mini Sessions are here.⁣
Just one day. ✨⁣
Saturday, May 10 (the day before Mother’s Day) in my beautiful studio.❤⁣

The old adage “the days are long, but the years are short” is never more true when applied to family life. ⁣
⁣
This is for the mamas who are always behind the camera. The ones with toddlers on their hips, snack crumbs in their purse, and hearts stretched wider than they ever thought possible.⁣
⁣
You deserve beautiful memories of you and your children. We all know how fast children grow so much each year... I want you to always have a recent photo of your family that you love.💕⁣
⁣
Come as you are—messy, soft, tired, radiant.⁣
I'll take care of the rest.⁣

Let’s be honest—the family dog always steals the show. 🐶😂⁣
⁣
The kids might give me their best smiles, but this guy? He’s bringing his A-game with the ultimate goofy face. And honestly, we love them just as much for it.⁣
⁣
Because family photos wouldn’t be complete without every member of the family—especially the ones who never say no to a snack. 😉⁣
⁣
Who else has a dog that’s basically their favorite child? (It’s okay, I won’t tell.) 🐾💛
Your baby is already perfect, and your family’s love is the most beautiful thing in the world. Let’s create photographs that feel natural, timeless, and full of meaning. 📷
Anniversary sessions + dogs? Say no more—I’m in. 🐶💛 Because the best love stories include a little fur, a lot of laughter, and moments worth remembering. #DogPeopleAreMyPeople #AnniversarySession #couplesphotography
