Lately my favorite place and where I feel at most at peace is in the mountains and forest. Every couple years it shifts for me and thats what it has been for 2020 so far. (For those wondering 2016 was the ocean, 2017- 2019 was the desert). So when Melissa and Chris wanted to do […]

If you know me you know I love supporting local businesses. If you are going to spend money on food might as well be amazing and local. I wanted to publish this blog post to show my couples and guests where I love to eat when they come to wine country for a destination session […]

You know when you meet someone and they feel like you have been friends for years? Well that was these two. We bonded over our love for food and traveling as well as later the type of music. They had Ben Rector’s I like you as their first dance song. Thats the band that opened […]

I get asked this question roughly 40 times a year. I love that every couple asks me this question, because what you wear to a session effects how it will turn out just as much as the location. Think of this as a puzzle. You have to get all the puzzle pieces in the right […]

We may have braved the wind like crazy this day but we found such a gem of a spot at Bodega Bay Head. It was amazing to see there are spots that look like the desert so close to the ocean. Flor is one that loves to hike and be in nature, she loves to […]

I honestly did not want to take a ton of pictures this Oahu trip but instead just spend as much time sleeping, eating and enjoying family time. I feel like I did this and I need to do this more often on trips. Truly I shut off my phone a lot of the times and […]

I honestly always thought of Oahu as the touristy island full of big buildings and cluttered with people on every beach. I have been to Maui and Kuaui and thought nothing could compare to those islands but oh how I was wrong. East & North shore resembled Kuaui’s mountain ranges and beaches so much. Plus, […]

For those of you who do not know I grew up with Blake and his mama Abby. They are family to us (I call them aunt and cousin all the time). So it is crazy that the little boy I used to babysit and help make his valentines for his class is now a senior. […]

For a day that was supposed to be rainy for their Point Reyes engagement session, it sure turned out to be beautiful. We pranced in the meadows, chased the sunset and walked over a lot of dunes by the sea. It may have been super windy but man it was so stunning. The waves on […]

Walking where Jesus walked, taught, healed died and rose again was indescribable. I thought I knew Jesus before this trip but then my eyes opened up in Israel seeing everything come to life. I wish I could describe everything from this trip. I felt at peace and filled with so much joy from the Lord. […]
