Adam and Sydney's Wedding.

2012-01-12T14:30:00.000-08:00

What a great way to spend the end of 2011! I had not met Adam and Sydney because they live in Utah for school, but it did not take long to feel like friends. They are such a sweet, happy couple and both have such amazing smiles! On Thursday we took bride and groom pictures at the beach in Carlsbad and Friday they were married in the LDS San Diego Temple in La Jolla. My talented sister joined me for these two events and a few of these images are hers. That evening was a reception at Adam's parents home. I wish them all the best as they start out 2012 as a married couple!

Merry Christmas!

Stewart Family.

2011-11-21T12:00:00.000-08:00

It has been my pleasure over the past few months to get to know this beautiful family of girls! I was thrilled when they asked me to take their Christmas pictures. And what a better place to do that then the beach . . . .

The Livingston Family.

2011-11-10T15:56:00.000-08:00

Four boys and the oldest is 6. How awesome is that? They are crazy and goofy and love sticks! I am pretty sure that taking pictures was not high on their list of fun things to do, but they were good sports and I think hiking around the Batiquitos Lagoon in Carlsbad helped. I think it is one of my favorite places to shoot.

Happy Halloween!

A Scottish Ceilidh.

2011-10-25T13:28:00.000-07:00

This was my first experience attending a Scottish ceilidh (pronounced 'kay-lee'). A ceilidh is a traditional Gaelic social gathering, which usually involves folk music and dancing. This one started off Tyler and Kimberlee's wedding events and was totally amazing! The Reel Stramash, a band made up of two acordian players and a drummer, had everyone dancing till midnight. I think we need to bring ceilidh's to the United States . . . .

Breinholt Family.

2011-10-18T14:38:00.000-07:00

The Breinholt family is good friends with the Johnson's and joined them on their San Diego vacation. They are great! Hopefully they will decide to come back every year . . . .

Johnson Family.

2011-10-17T14:36:00.000-07:00

The Johnson's come to San Diego every year on vacation. This trip they decided they needed some family pictures and I am so glad they contacted me. We had such a great time playing at the beach!

I know this first image is blurry, but there is something about it that is just so romantic.

Tyler and Kimberlee.

2011-10-07T18:45:00.001-07:00

This is my brother Tyler. I think he is pretty awesome. He met Kimberlee a few years ago at Brigham Young University. She is from Scotland, but was living in Utah for school. She is pretty amazing herself, and I have hoped they would get married ever since! Well, he finally asked and she said Yes.

These images were taken in Scotland, near Loch Lomond. I would call them engagement pictures, but we took these the day before their wedding, so I guess you could say it was just for fun. And it was.

Busy.

2011-09-04T14:18:00.000-07:00

I have been busy. But not with photography. I have been enjoying these three cuties . . .

Thanks Tessa! I heart these pictures a lot.

Baby E.

2011-07-01T18:27:00.000-07:00

Our little guy was born the end of June. Isn't he great?! We just cannot get enough.

Maybe someday I will have my very own second shooters . . .

Adam and Trina's Wedding.

2011-06-01T16:33:00.000-07:00

Adam and Trina are the sweetest couple. They fit together just perfectly and were very obviously in love. (Which makes my job easy!) We had a great, windy morning at Ponto Beach in Carlsbad and then they were on their way to be married in the San Diego LDS Temple. I was lucky to have my sister along to help photograph . . . a couple of these lovely morning images are hers.

Derek and Jessica's Wedding.

2011-05-26T17:31:00.000-07:00

What a full wedding day! These two are wonderful . . . completely happy and totally in love. I met Derek and Jessica in the morning for bride and groom pictures at the Batiquitos Lagoon in Carlsbad and then we stopped by Ponto Beach. It was a nice, quiet hour or so before they were off to be married in the San Diego LDS Temple where they surrounded by lots of family and friends.

I was accompanied by Diane Jones, who is responsible for Derek's groomals.

Jessica has seven sisters. How fun and crazy would that be?!

Steven and Laura's Wedding.

2011-04-20T09:18:00.000-07:00

What a fun and relaxing day! (I don't think I have ever used the word relaxing to describe a wedding day before . . .) Lo and Steve were just so happy and carefree. They were married in the San Diego LDS Temple surrounded by friends and LOTS of family. After, we went to Windansea Beach in La Jolla for a few bride and groom pictures and they had a lovely outdoor reception in Escondido. It was a wonderful day and I sure enjoyed being apart of it. Thanks guys! Enjoy!

Slade. One year portraits.

2011-04-04T18:15:00.000-07:00

Okay, how cute is she?! Seriously. This is Slade. She is just over a year and has a ton of energy. My own girls love her. She had fun running all over the place and I had fun chasing her!

David and Maria's Wedding.

2011-03-25T15:37:00.000-07:00

I love weddings. And you will never meet a sweeter bride than Maria or a funner family than David's! They put together a beautiful outdoor ceremony in Riverside, followed by a dinner and reception. Family and friends ate, mingled and then danced like crazy! So fun.

Maria's cute kids . . .

Congratulations!! Thanks for letting me be part of your day!

Ted and Megan. Engagments.

2011-02-25T14:36:00.000-08:00

She is from Missouri, he is from Nevada. They came to Southern California for one weekend and had only one day to take engagement pictures. So of course, it was a day we had rain. They were great sports about it and we had a wonderful time at the beach in Dana Point (it Megan's first time to CA). And you would never know from the pictures that she was freezing the whole time! They are a beautiful couple and totally smitten with each other.

Ted and Megan, I wish you all the best in your upcoming wedding and future life together. I only wish I could be there in April!

Good Luck!

Traveling to China.

2010-12-10T11:57:00.000-08:00

Last month, my husband and I were lucky enough to travel to China. We shopped, saw sites, biked, people watched, floated down rivers, and shopped some more. It was an amazing experience and we loved it!

Matt and Samantha's Wedding.

2010-11-11T16:27:00.000-08:00

What an amazing couple! I know I probably say that a lot, but Matt and Samantha were just so happy and kind and in love. It was very obvious they were excited this day had finally come and I don't think I ever saw either of them not smiling or laughing! They had a wonderful group of family and friends too.

I had the pleasure of assisting Erin Thompson. Erin and I were friends in high school, so it made this day especially fun!

And yes, they really did cut their cake with a sword. That was a first for me, and it was awesome!

Family Pictures.

2010-11-05T15:18:00.000-07:00

We finally had our own family pictures taken my lovely and talented sister-in-law, Diane Jones.
Go here to check them out:
dianejonesblog.com
We love them!

(And if I was not a photographer wanting to take your picture, I would definitely recommend you to her!)

Happy Halloween!

2010-11-01T17:15:00.000-07:00

As I got older, Halloween became less and less fun. Until I had kids. Doing Halloween activities with the them is so fun.
Although, do you really need an excuse for a game like this?

ps. For those wondering, my computer was fixed and home in 2 days. Totally impressed. I love my Mac!

Short Break.

2010-10-26T14:13:00.001-07:00

My computer needs a minor repair . . . and luckily for me, it is 2 days under its warranty! Yea. Amazingly, this is also the first time I have needed a computer repair in the 6.5 years that I have been a Mac user! Now the only sad thing will be going without it for 3-5 days. Sad, and yet, I'm sure it will be good for me . . . I know I am way too reliant . . . . .

See you in 3-5 business days!

Chad and Ashley's Wedding.

2010-10-20T21:46:00.000-07:00

These two put together the most beautiful backyard wedding I have ever attended! They did not do it alone, of course . . . they were completely surrounded with the most amazing and supportive group of family and friends. The ceremony was touching and the reception was a party! Chad and Ashley just seem so sweet and fun and perfect together. Congrats!

Thanks again to Diane Jones, for letting me second shoot.

Devenberg Family.

2010-10-08T07:03:00.000-07:00

You may have seen Elena on my blog before (here and here). This time, however, she got her whole family involved! They are wonderful and talented people. I have had the pleasure of working with both Elena's mother, Trish, who owns her own catering business, Taste for Every Season, and Leni's sister, Maria, who is DJ. It was nice to spend some time with them at beautiful Balboa Park in downtown San Diego.

Daryn and Kelly's Wedding Reception.

2010-10-06T17:03:00.000-07:00

This wedding reception was a PARTY! Daryn and Kelly were surrounded by friends and family . . . who all know how to have a good time! I had the pleasure of accompanying Diane Jones, and I think we were both tempted to put down the cameras and jump out there with everyone else . . . .

Day at the Beach.

2010-10-01T14:41:00.000-07:00

Have I mentioned how much I love living close to the ocean?

30.

2010-09-22T21:19:00.000-07:00

I am turning 30 years old tomorrow. I am not sure how I feel about it.
My girls and I celebrated by spending all day at the beach. Maybe we should do it again tomorrow . . . .

Devin and Brittany's Wedding.

2010-09-15T12:25:00.001-07:00

Meeting Brittany and Devin was fun . . . it brought back memories. Not because we had met before, but because we had several things in common. These two met at school at BYU Hawaii, just like my husband and I. The boys even had the same major. They were going on the same honeymoon cruise to Mexico and going to be living in a studio on-campus married apartment just like we did. I felt like they were reliving my newlywed life! And I loved it, so I am excited for them.

I think Brittany and Devin are both starting a new semester today, so I send them an especially big Good Luck!

Married in the San Diego LDS Temple.

Bride and Groom pictures at Balboa Park.

So, I shot the first picture and then behind me I heard a mom saying to her small child, "No, you cannot take your pants off in the middle of the sidewalk!" Glad I got the second shot before I started laughing myself . . . .

Reception at Marina Village.

Great shots of the catered food from, Taste for Every Season, taken by my second shooter, Tessa.

Rich and Kendra's Wedding.

2010-08-04T15:02:00.001-07:00

What a whirlwind! After a 5 year engagement, Rich and Kendra decided to get married in 2 days! Diane was contacted by a family friend of Kendra's on Friday evening to photograph the wedding and she invited me to join her. Family, friends, and neighbors pulled together for a perfect backyard wedding. It was simple and beautiful. I felt lucky to be there and witness such a special event for this wonderful family!

Elena. Bridal Portraits.

2010-07-22T17:05:00.001-07:00

After a year of being engaged, Elena and Ryan finally got married! I had been looking forward to attending the event for a long time and was excited when Elena invited me to shoot some bridal and getting ready pictures of her and her girls. They were staying at the beautiful Humphreys Half Moon Inn on Shelter Island, with a great view of San Diego Bay. It was such a wonderful day. Thanks Elena and Ryan!

Ryan and Elena. Engaged!

2010-06-07T12:09:00.001-07:00

Elena is a very dear friend of mine. This was the first opportunity I had to meet Ryan and I was impressed. They just fit together. I am excited to attend their wedding next month. Good luck with all the preparations and Congratulations!

Adam and Katie's Wedding.

2010-05-27T10:01:00.001-07:00

This is the last of my three weddings to second shoot for Diane. She is wonderful and talented and I have learned a lot. As for Adam and Katie, they are so in love. And I love it when that is obvious! I felt lucky to share in their day with them. We started at the LDS temple in San Diego. Then they had requested time to shoot at both the beach and Balboa Park, before heading to their reception in the beautiful courtyard of the Scripps Ranch Library. What a beautiful day spent with beautiful people!

A few of the preparations . . . corsages can be so tricky! They required the help of friends and wives!

The talented Diane Jones and Alex Merrill, the videographer.

Brent and Nydia. Couple Portraits.

2010-05-22T16:16:00.001-07:00

Nydia and I spoke for the first time about two hours before this shoot. She was frantic to get pictures with her brand new husband, Brent, before his deployment to Bahrain for a year. I am so glad that all the details worked out so quickly and that we were able to meet at La Jolla Cove. Good luck to you both and THANK YOU for serving our country!

McKay and Heather. Couple Portraits.

2010-05-18T19:32:00.001-07:00

McKay and Heather are so great! They two have been married almost a year and were nice enough to meet me at the Solana Beach Coaster station for a shoot. Thanks you two!

Matt and Emily's Wedding.

2010-05-05T21:03:00.001-07:00

I had the pleasure of joining Diane again as her second shooter. Matt and Emily are just wonderful and were surrounded by friends and family, many who traveled great distances to be with them. I felt lucky to be part of their day.

Reception details . . .

The farewell! Congrats, you two!

Mike and Kathy's Wedding.

2010-04-16T15:58:00.001-07:00

Mike and Kathy were married last month and I was lucky enough to tag along with my talented sister in law, Diane, to second shoot their wedding. It was fun to spend time looking more for candid moments. Mike and Kathy are wonderful people and we had a wonderful day.

Jake, Erin and Family.

2010-03-23T14:46:00.001-07:00

Erin and I have been friends for a long time. Even before Jake and these four kids were around! Erin is a talented photographer and a huge help to me. I love having a friend who gets it. We had a great afternoon together and I think even all these boys had an okay time (for a photo shoot)!

We all had to make fun of Robbie's little pout. Too cute!

Brent, Amanda and Elliott. Family Portraits.

2010-01-22T15:14:00.001-08:00

I consider myself very lucky to call these three friends. They lived about 4 doors away from us in Arizona and we miss them a lot. Elliott recently turned one and has become a little man. He was absolutely EVERYWHERE! (Quite different from this shoot.) Thanks for taking your vacation to San Diego . . . it was wonderful to see you and we must make it a tradition!

Amanda is a sign language interpreter and is teaching Elliott the sign for 'water.'

p.s. This was so much fun and made me miss Arizonans! If you are from Arizona, but want a photo shoot during your next trip to San Diego please let me know. I will give you a deal!

Laurie and Nick's Wedding.

2010-01-07T15:02:00.001-08:00

My youngest 'other' sister is married! I have known her since she was 12 and I can hardly believe she is now all grown up. Laurie is such an amazing person and I think she has found a perfect match in Nick. They are totally in love and totally silly. Thanks you two for letting me share the day with you . . . it was wonderful and I love you both!

They were married in the beautiful LDS San Diego Temple.

Nick and his sweet mom, Carolyn.

Aunt Laurie and her favorite nieces.

(Of course, on Nick's side there are 10 other girls to compete with!)

My awesome, crazy family. Thanks Kim!

Serious . . . ha!

After the temple we drove all over Encinitas . . .

These two are seriously so goofy together!

Jeff. High School Portraits.

2009-12-20T12:48:00.001-08:00

While I was in Utah over Thanksgiving, my talented sister, Tessa, and I forced our cousin Jeff into letting us take his senior portraits! Just kidding. He was totally willing and up for not just one, but two photo shoots! I think we lucked out that he enjoys photography too. He is a talented athlete, skilled craftsman, and all around great guy. Thanks for all the fun Jeff (and Tess) . . . and good luck with whatever you choose to do after high school.

Baby Jane.

2009-12-11T15:46:00.001-08:00

Jane is the brand new daugther of one of my very best friends, Katie, who I have known since I was 12. Little Jane is only 5 days old and such a sweet baby. I loved meeting her and cannot wait to see her again. Merry Christmas, Katie and Mark!

Eric, Kim & Family.

2009-11-09T14:03:00.001-08:00

I can't think of a better way to leave Arizona than with one last photo shoot with Eric, Kim and their adorable family. And meeting at the farm even made it fun for the kids (I think)!

The beautiful girls.

The handsome boys.

The Gregory Kids. Portraits.

2009-11-04T12:21:00.001-08:00

These three were so much fun and such good sports. Of course, yummy Disneyland suckers half way through the shoot didn't hurt . . . good thinking, Missy! These kids are close in age and I think it is pretty obvious that they are good friends as well. This was the first time I had met Missy and her adorable children, but by the time I left, I felt as though we had known each other much longer. Thanks guys for the fun afternoon!

Abigail. (With Mom and Dad!)

2009-10-21T15:57:00.001-07:00

Little Abby turns one this month! I can hardly believe how fast time flies . . . I think I met her when she was only 2 or 3 days old. We had another great little photo shoot, but this time I made her parents join the fun too. They are great friends of ours, who better come and visit us in California!

One independent little girl!

Big smiles for Dad!

Jay, Shauntel & Family.

2009-10-17T15:32:00.001-07:00

These guys are friends AND family. It's so fun. Before the girls were born we had some pretty fun game and LOST nights. Now those are hard to come by, but my girls absolutely love to play with these two crazy kids so we do it a lot. We have enjoyed living close and will miss them when we move.

Love these smiles . . .

Thanks for all the fun you guys!

What an amazing and adorable family! Amber is the sister of a good friend of mine so I had heard all about her cute family. These kids are totally best friends! It was so much fun to spend some time with them and watch them interact with each other.

Here are the lovely girls.

Here are the boys.

Amber and her little man. I thought this was so sweet.

Allen and Rachel's Wedding.

2009-09-09T21:13:00.001-07:00

Meet Allen and Rachel. Aren't they lovely? We met early Friday morning for some pictures with just the bride and groom. You could just tell that they love being together and that they could not wait to get married!

Apparently, it is a rare day when they have not been found sitting like this . . . .

Allen and Rachel were married the following day in the Mesa Arizona LDS Temple. Now Mr. and Mrs. . . . .

Many family and friends were waiting anxiously to greet them.

The only niece . . . what a doll!

The friends were there.

p.s. Rachel, this might possibly be my favorite bouquet of all time.

Also, the shoes. Rachel Originals.

Congratulations you two. Good luck in North Carolina!

2009-08-19T14:37:00.001-07:00

She's my sister and she's awesome. She is coming to visit me in a couple of days and I cannot wait. She was nice enough to model for me a few months ago and thought I would show her off!

Elliott.

2009-08-10T15:14:00.001-07:00

This is Elliott. I want to take him home with me.

Ben and Charlotte's Wedding.

2009-08-01T22:26:00.001-07:00

She is from France. He is from Arizona.

Somehow they ended up together and life could not be better. They had a lovely private ceremony and reception with only their closest family and friends. I felt lucky to be there and enjoy their special day with them.

This ring bearer was quite the little character. I think he went up and down the aisle a couple times before spotting the Skittles in Ben's hand. It's a good thing those rings were tied to that pillow . . .

We did not have much time for just the two of them on the wedding day so they were nice enough to let me intrude on their time the following day, before they left for France. I'm so glad they did.

Chris and Kristen. Couple Portraits.

2009-07-23T10:04:00.001-07:00

This is my amazing sister in law, Kristen, and her amazing husband, Chris. They were nice enough to let me practice shoot with them when we were all in San Diego a few weeks ago. Chris kept us laughing and we had a good time . . . I'll have to prove it sometime by posting all the "out-takes"!

Oh, and she is the best friend of Shelly (see below).

Love these. While I was shooting one, each could not keep their eyes off the other.

p.s. I did not heed this sign and was stung by a bee. Did I learn my lesson?

Not sure yet. Depends on how awesome the location for shooting . . . . .

Shelly. Portraits.

2009-07-21T12:25:00.001-07:00

This is Shelly. She has been my sister-in-law's best friend since 3rd grade, and is practically part of the family. She is a natural beauty and a good sport (as you will see below)!

Chad and Ashley's Wedding.

2009-07-16T21:38:00.001-07:00

These two may be young, but they are definintely in love. Whether silly or serious, they were all about each other. So fun. Congratulations you two!

Ashley and Chad. Bridal Portraits.

2009-06-08T15:30:00.001-07:00

What a beautiful bride! Ashley was a natural in front of the camera and we had a great time shooting some bridal portraits before her and Chad's upcoming wedding.

Not to be outdone was her handsome new husband-to-be, Chad.

Abigail.

2009-05-30T16:53:00.000-07:00

I have been lucky to photograph this little beauty twice now . . . first, when she was only a couple weeks old and recently, now that she is 6 months old. The first time she slept through almost the entire shoot.

Now she is mobile and a bit sassy!

Check out those expressive eyebrows . . .

iStockphoto.

2009-05-18T14:46:00.000-07:00

About two years ago I became a contributor for iStockphoto. Stock photography is different than taking "normal" pictures of people. I never know if something is going to sell or not, but it is a definitely helping me become a more well-rounded photographer. It's fun and unpredictable.

I like it.

Here is a random collection of a few of my favorites.
