In true OB fashion, our first official San Diego wedding required us to march in the annual Holiday Parade...

Jamie and John ran in separate circles growing up just blocks away from each other in a tiny San Diego beach town, Ocean Beach (OB)... also our new home-town. YAY! Years later, they finally met face to face, attending the festivities, following the annual OB Holiday Parade. Then, being a bit sentimental, John proposed a few years later in the midst of anoth...

Remember that time you were a kid and you met an adult who just got it.  Remember the first grownup who understood how to play and REALLY enjoy it? The joy of a child is not a feeling that can be imitated.  It is not a feeling that can be reproduced.  But when you see it, you know.  When you feel it, you know.  And when you witness an adult with that same joy, you just want to bottle up every moment, every emotion, and keep it for the tough times.  Keep it for those...

My husband and I are partners. Partners in life. Partners in business. Partners in parenting. Partners in all the crazy. And while I typically use this blog to share our work and life's passion, this weekend Geoffrey blew me away with his patience and talent, and I feel compelled to share one of the many blessings I have in my PARTNER! A blog post to say I love you. A blog post to say THANK YOU GEOFFREY.

If I were writing a post about photography (or even a...

Meeting Jennifer (mom of these three cuties) a little over one year ago, I had no idea that our lives would run so parallel and that now, one year later, I would feel like we have known each other for ages.

In one year's time we started out as co-workers and quickly became each other's friends, play-dates, confidants, party-planners (for Mama's Night Out, San Diego) and before we knew it, preggo-twinsies. 

Jennifer's sweet Ellie Anne and my newest addition, Perr...

My home state is full of life, full of love, full of disparity, and full of hope. 

I have seen so many of you, friends and family, giving back with your hands, with your labor, with your money, with your hard work, with your prayers, with your determination, with your love and with your hope. And I have been asking myself... What can I do, how can I help from 3,000 miles away? What does my home need? With the recent flooding devastation, the answers are endless. But...

Two years ago, we did not have a website and we did not have a blog, but we were given the opportunity to photograph the marriage of two of the kindest people we have ever met.

Loren and Michael are an absolute pleasure to be around. They are continuiously improving their community through their outreach work with children and families at the Bob Burdette Center and the East End Family Resource Center.  Michael is a musian/artist with his band, UndefeatedMusik...

Sharing a New Glarus brew and playing more than a few heated rounds of Euchere, we have had a unique opportunity to really get to know these two.  And what an awesome pair they are!

Their Wisconsin Engagement Session this past January gave us just a glimpse of how fabulous they are! I mean, who else smiles that bright, OUTSIDE in WISCONSIN in JANUARY!?
