Rancho Valencia Resort Wedding Photography | Alison + Kelly

I love working with Susanne Duffy of Crown Weddings and this Rancho Valencia Resort wedding was no exception! Every detail was unique and I love how the entire wedding really reflected the bride and groom’s unique style and personality.

It was so much fun to work with Alison and Kelly on both their engagement and wedding photos…and also so wonderful to see Alison’s cute little baby bump on the wedding day! Of course she looked just as amazing as ever and I am so happy for the expansion of their little family! I can’t wait for family portraits in the future- congrats you two!

Here are a few of my favorite images….feel free to pin or leave a comment, we’d love to hear from you!

One day, these tiny details will be hard to remember. But with newborn portraits that reflect your baby just as they are, you’ll always have something to hold onto. 💛

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.

Your future self will thank you.⁣

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. ✨⁣
