{Sarah and Jeff} San Diego Mission Wedding

Sarah and Jeff’s wedding at the San Diego Mission was traditionally elegant and on a beautiful San Diego day. It was so sweet that Sarah had pictured her wedding there since she was a little girl… I love that traditional Spanish Californian architecture too! I was so excited to work with Gayle from Just imagine Weddings also and the reception music was awesome thanks to Miles Pelky of Mobile Dance Party…. both are always such a pleasure to work with, I love when we have a great team!

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. 💛

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.

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.) 🐾💛
