The day of their proposal it was due to rain. So, i grabbed my raincoat, and hid my camera inside my ..read more

Before we kicked off Emily and Jack’s destination wedding at Mission Ranch in Carmel by the sea, we decided we should do a session by the ocean! Jack and Emily did their engagement session in Dallas and while we were capturing their photos I asked her if she would regret not doing a session by the ocean. Emily responded. Thank you for knowing me. Yes, I think you are right. I think I will regret not having photos by the Ocean. So, the day before their rehearsal dinner, we planned to sneak away from the hustle and bustle and have a little session date. It was absolute perfection, even with the ..read more

What a session! This was such a fun session to capture! Veronica and Valerian were such sports during this romantic “cap cod” inspired boat ride session. We literally had a blast capturing this unique engagement session! Veronica is a girl who knows what she wants and I love that about her! She had a vision for hers and Valerian’s engagement session and I truly enjoyed making it come to life. I live for personal touches that tell a story in engagement photos.

Talk about Souther Charm! Courtney and Matthew are truly some of the kindest people. About 6 months before their wedding I gave them a call and was honestly terrified. I was pregnant. A totally, unplaced miracle that I had prayed for for eight years. As I told her the news Courtney rejoiced with me and told me she trusted me completely even though she knew I would be so pregnant at her wedding. She will never know how much that meant to me. Being a women and being a business owner is hard because sometimes with pregnancy the world doesn’t always view you as capable, but a liability, but she d ..read more
