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.

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.

When I look at your baby, I don’t see a prop or a pose.
I see the way their fingers stretch when they yawn.
The way they melt into your arms when they’re calm.
The tiny, perfect details that are already changing by the day.
To me, that’s where the beauty is. Natural. Simple. Real.
These aren’t just photos—they’re a way to remember what it felt like in those first quiet days as a family.
