• I can’t wait to be back in Italy… a place that has allowed me to make some of my favorite work and to feel completely inspired. I’ve been holding onto these images for some time now and it feels fitting to finally be able to share them with you today on @overthemoon The archaic villa @villa_monsoglio set a beautiful tone with it’s walls covered in frescos and warm Italian light flowing through the windows… it was brimming with a story of it’s own. I am remembering that day today and how I felt to be surrounded by such beauty and those creatives who gathered from all over the world to share their art. I am so grateful for the honor of working alongside these individuals who’s eye and talent are unparalleled and for allowing me to partake in such a wonderful and expressive project.

  • I am filled with an abundance of emotions… my innate desire to make and be creative feels trapped… I feel scared. I feel sad. I feel strange not to be traveling… not to be shooting. I am also feeling grateful. I’m grateful we have a home, our health, our family, and food on the table. I’m taking things one day at a time and doing my best to use these days to count my blessings. The words, ‘how are you?’ seem to mean more now than ever before... I’m constantly praying for my friends, my colleagues, and those all over the world that have been affected. It almost doesn’t even seem real to be typing these words, like a bad dream that will never end. So please, let’s use this time of grief and devastation to continue to lift each other up, to treasure all moments, and use our strength to move forward better and stronger than ever before. In an attempt to bring a little more beauty and happiness into the world, I’m going to try to post here more frequently. I love this shot from @engagedmagazine cover shoot we did back in the fall. @hautefetes worked her magic to design this incredible table donned with romantic florals by @plentyofpetals and custom table linen. Venue @calaviespa stationary @customcrafted napkins @walkervalentine tabletop @casadeperrin rentals @tbdsandiego. #engaged #covershoot #sandiegowedding #californiawedding #destinationweddingphotographer #weddinginspo #weddinginspiration

  • I always feel fortunate to photograph couples and their families during life’s celebrations but it’s not every day that I have the honor to tell a story like this one. I’ve shared a little of this before via stories but I wanted to share it again here so it’s permanently on my feed because my hope is that it will touch others the way it has touched my life. I had the honor of photographing Kendall & Allison’s wedding 6 years ago and when I received an email for a family portrait session, I was over the moon… only reading about their family pulled all of my heart strings as I read about their journey while fostering two beautiful children and how they would be adopting them soon. After being in foster care for 859 days, Destiny & Thomas were adopted August 30, 2019. I get teary-eyed and goosebumps when I think of those beautiful children and their incredible parents and the time we spent together during their family portrait shoot. I can’t describe the joy I’ve felt getting to know these kids, seeing them with their parents, and photographing them. I’m over the moon that the Nicholson Family will be growing as they are welcoming a sweet baby into the world this spring and Destiny & Thomas will soon have a new baby brother. There are no words to describe the honor and joy it has been to know this amazing family. I’m so excited and looking forward to continuing to document their unbelievably remarkable story. #fostertoadopt #thisisfostercare #foreverfamily #familyportraits #familyphotography #adoption

  • The theme for this years @bellabelleshoes campaign shoot was “Poetry of Love.” Lake Como painted a magical scene and perfectly set the tone. My translation of this year’s theme was very much inspired by the rich textures seen throughout the area paired with the quiet presence of femininity and romance. ⁠I chose to focus on physical form and expression using light to paint the images evoking a tone and mood for the final collection. Captivating eye contact, soft gestures, and a bold backdrop create a look that feels vulnerable yet dynamic. The journey through these photographs is much like a love story… encompassing the range of emotions one might feel as if they were part of the story themselves.
