This year has brought about a lot of changes in the wedding industry. Sadly the Covid shut downs have put a lot of businesses out of business and caused so many couples to have to cancel their weddings or push them back to next year. I love that the wedding industry as a whole is […]

I am so obsessed with this adorable anniversary photoshoot we did with Alyssa and Andrew at the San Juan Capistrano mission. It was a beautiful day down there, gorgeous glowing sunshine and all of the flowers in the garden in bloom. We spent the afternoon meandering around the gardens and photographing some fun romantics for […]

Who else loves Donuts as much as I do? I would live off of them if I could, the sprinkle kind, the maple bars, the cinnamon swirls, plain old glaze! Yum! When Denise called me to book a donut themed cake smash for her daughter I was so excited! I worked with an amazing vendor […]

I traveled through Italy with my friend Emi Fujii of Emi Fujii photography and we were coming back to our hotel from dinner our first night in Positano when we met Rachel and Trevor. Visiting Italy from England, Trevor, a hobbyist photographer and […]

At the start of this year my studio went through a bit of rebranding and I wanted to kick it off with a branding shoot with my amazing friend Kristen Boothe Photography. We had so much fun shooting in my bedroom and office, capturing some of my hobbies.

The inspiration for this adorable boho cake smash was a palette of mauve and coral pinks with a fun balloon rainbow and lots of twinkle lights. I love creating these unique set ups and backdrops for sessions, it helps to really personalize them. This little cutie loved her cake as you can see toward the […]
