Back and forth ;)

Well I have been going back and forth between the Desert and San Diego quite a bit. I am loving being able to spend more time in San Diego and shooting more there! Spending time with my guy is still my favorite thing about it though ;) I spent the past two days doing day after shoots and wanted to give a little peak at what is to come from them. Enjoy!




Just wait... :)





P.S. no one has to tell me how incredibly lucky I am to get to shoot such beautiful people, I am already well aware of it!

Chad and Jamie ~ Wedding

This post is long overdue! I adore this wedding and this couple :) Jamie holds such a special place in my heart and this was such an exciting wedding to be a part of! My friendship with Jamie is something that I cannot even completely explain. We met in the most random of ways three years ago... on myspace... she lives in WA and I live in CA and after becoming good friends online we found out that Jamie is my brother in law's cousin! Not only that, but she even came to my house after my sister was married like 8 years ago! It was one of those moments that I will never forget. We were both in shock to find out we were somewhat related. I know that she and I are supposed to be friends! We have been through so much together in the past three years. Once again, something I can't completely explain :) All I know is that I would not have missed being in Washington for her wedding for just about any reason.

Watching Jamie and Chad's relationship grow has been so exciting for me. They started out as really good friends and it slowly turned into this amazing love for one another. I actually did not get to meet Chad until I flew in the week of the wedding, but man they have an incredible relationship! I knew it was different when Jamie and I would talk, but actually getting to be around them was such a wonderful thing to experience! I will never forget Jamie texting me and telling me to call her right away. I called her back and when she answered I screamed "YOU GOT ENGAGED!!!" before any words could come out of her mouth :) He he I love her so much! It has been such a blessing being her friend and experiencing so much of life together, even while living in separate states.

Jamie and Chad thank you so much for allowing me to celebrate with the two of you! I could not be more excited or happy to see how much you two love one another. Jamie, thank you for being my friend and of course cousin ;) Thank you for remaining my friend through the ups and downs. I know we will be friends forever and I thank God for placing you in my life. It is still the most bizarre and crazy thing I have been through!





























I love how she crinkles her nose constantly with him












Everything about this series of photos makes me smile :)












You can just feel the love they have for one another!


Thank you to Tiffany for taking this photo of us :)

Tim and Shannon ~ Just because

Tim and Shannon are two of my best friends. I love them so much! I had the urge to take some random photos one day just for fun, so they got a phone call saying they had to come take photos :) I pretty much told them to drop what they were doing and it did not matter if Tim had school or not (ok not really, I let him finish class) I thought I would share a few fun photos from the day. Enjoy!

Tim and Shannon thank you for being my friends and loving me enough to drop what you are doing to be models for me :)
