If you haven’t been, I would highly recommend visiting the sand dunes. It literally feels like you’re walking onto mars. It’s such a surreal feeling + an incredible sight to be seen. The light was absolutely magical, the temperature was perfect + the wind decided to cooperate by providing us with a calm breeze which resulted in the most delicate movement in Liesa’s epic gown.

Almond blossom season is a very short lived phenomenon, but if you can time it right, it’s truly magical. It is a bit of a drive, but in my opinion, it’s well worth it. The way the light peeks through the rows of trees + the fluffy white texture the blossoms provide makes it feel like you’ve been carried away to a snowy wonderland.

COVID has changed so many couple’s wedding plans … mine included. We’re seeing more elopements + micro weddings than ever before. Is this something you + your fiance have considered? If so, here are a few helpful tips to consider as you begin location hunting.

As we began discussing their engagement session, Grace + David had envisioned a wide open space, something along the lines of a wildflower field or tall green grass.

Thankfully after much scouting + debating, we were finally able to find a location that perfectly suited their vision + provided a beautiful setting for their engagement photos.

Melanie and Brent love the beach, so they decided it would be the perfect setting for their engagement session. Finding a dog friendly beach was key, since their shoot wouldn’t be complete without including their fur babies Peter + Appa.

The beach can tend to photograph a bit flat, so we chose a spot with rocks and tide pools to provide more depth and dimension to their images.

Shay + David are expecting their first baby girl in just a few short weeks. We had such a nice day strolling through the gardens while documenting this exciting new adventure they will be embarking on as new parents.

The LA Arboretum provided all of the elements Shay + David were looking for when they envisioned the dream backdrop for their maternity session. The expansive gardens provided the perfect vignettes for a variety of textures + colors.

Proposals are so fun yet so stressful to photograph! There’s such a huge level of anticipation & excitement … I can only imagine what Luke was experiencing!

Happy Mother’s Day! Today I’ve got a beautiful motherhood session for all of you Moms out there! I honestly can’t imagine the challenges of motherhood in the midst of quarantine, so kudos to all of you! You deserve to be extra celebrated this year!!
