The story varies depending on who you’re talking to. There is a his and her version to all great love stories. Paul claims they met back in 1996 when his Grandpa was visiting from the Azores, and they went over to visit her parents. Allison can’t seem to place Paul anytime before junior high, but […]

Happy Friday friends! Kicking off this weekend and so excited to be sharing this gorgeous rustic wedding with you today! You may remember Johnny and Cassie from their engagement session, and their wedding day couldn’t have matched this sweet, down-to-earth couple better! From the heirloom necklace the bride wore to the homemade cake made by […]

There are moments when I photograph something so special it’s hard to put into words. This last month, I had the honor of photographing Jennifer and Drew’s wedding at Hidden Hollow. It was a gorgeous day filled with love, laughter, and LOTS of sparkle. But there was something else…something felt in the way he gazed […]

When I was little, my family used to go camping in Pismo Beach frequently. So while Allan was in California with me this past month, we snuck away for a few days to to that same tiny coastal town that holds so many special memories from growing up. Campfires. Pancho’s Surf Shop. Old West Cinnamon […]

When I watch the news these days, I’m disheartened. There is so much negativity and violence, my heart can hardly bear it morning after morning. So I’ve mostly stopped watching the news entirely. Not because I want to live in the dark, but because I want to see the good in this world.     […]

He probably doesn’t even remember me babysitting him because it was so long ago, but I do!!! Yeah, Jayson and I go way back. Like eighteen years back!!! How crazy is that?!? Our families lived just a few miles from each other when I was growing up, which pretty much means you’re neighbors when you […]

Last weekend was way too much fun! Not going to lie, I’m still recovering a bit. And by recovering I mean, still dreaming about the delicious food we had and trying NOT to worry so much about how my pants now fit just a bit tighter after this weekend.     We had my parents […]

Goodness, where do I begin?!? Working with Brett + Stephanie was dream! They are the kindest couple I have ever had the privilege of working with and I am so honored to have documented such a beautiful love!     These two POURED their hearts and soul in to their wedding day! From the custom-made […]

A while back, while I was in California, I had the sweet honor of photographing a newborn session for Jeff and Jamie. You might remember these two from their gorgeous wedding a few years ago. Well…they just welcomed their FIRST little one to the world and she is THE most gorgeous, precious little thing.   […]
