This is the Silva family. They are near and dear to my heart. I started babysitting for them about 5 years ago and immediately fell in love with their hospitality, their love for others and their beautiful personalities. I have been so blessed to watch these beautiful girls grow up and become amazing little ladies. They are all so kind and full of love. It is always an honor to photograph them each year.

What was life like for you the first week you brought home your newborn? It’s so full of love, excitement, fatigue. There are so many emotions that fill your soul when you bring home your newborn that sometimes it feels like a blur. Take the time to pause, breathe it in and capture these moments before they pass.

Getting to capture these moments for families means the world to me. Rikki reached out to me a few years ago to do a styled shoot in Joshua Tree for her wedding rental company. I had no idea we were actually related (she married my second cousin). Over the years, I have been blessed to watch her oldest grow and now I get to watch her little one grow as well.

Where do I even begin with these two? They have been such a joy to work with from day one. Their love for each other is so contagious snd their hearts are so pure. I was warned Indy (the groom) would cry a lot on the wedding day, little did I know he would cry the entire day! It was absolutely the most precious thing I have ever seen. Thank you Indy + Jackie for choosing me to photograph your special day.

There is nothing more amazing than getting to spend a wedding day with a couple so madly in love. Zoe and Jonathan reached out to me about photographing their intimate backyard wedding months before their wedding date. I was absolutely honored because I had taken classes in high school from Zoe’s father. His classes were actually the ones that got me interested in photography in the first place. I am forever thankful for taking his classes as well as being able to capture such a special day for Zoe and Jonathan. Their love for each other and nature is so pure and it was beautifully portrayed throughout their day.
Congratulations Zoe and Jonathan!

It’s not everyday you get to be one of the first couples married at such an awesome venue! From the moment I heard about AutoCamp, I was so thrilled that was where Todd and Annalee were getting married. Their intimate wedding is what dreams are made of. Every little detail was planned out and perfectly executed by a wonderful team of vendors. Thank you Todd + Annalee for choosing me to capture and tell your love story for a lifetime.
There were so many amazing artists that went into creating this spectacular wedding day.

If you are a photographer and you are going to shoot at a new location, here are some tips to making sure you are prepared.
1. Scout the location beforehand. If you are able to get there the day before or the week before to check things out, do it. It will make you feel more comfortable knowing that you’ve checked out the location.
2. If you can’t get there the day pr week before the shoot, arrive early and walk around. Find spots you like and that inspire you.
3. Embrace it and have fun.

It amazes me how fast all these little munchkins grow in such a short amount of time. Funny story, I photographed Nora’s mom and dad almost two years ago (a couples session) and they didn’t know they were pregnant at the time!
This little lady is such a fireball! She refused to wear the flower crown her mama brought for her. Like absolutely refused. She wanted nothing to do with it. So, we placed it at the base of the cake stand and it was darling. Nora and her family went to the lake after her session, and guess what… She gladly wore the flower crown without any fuss. Sometimes (well, all the time) the toddlers decide how the session will go. And you just have to roll with the punches!
It is always a pleasure getting to photograph families as they grow! I am excited to watch little miss Nora grow!

It all started when I used every penny of my Christmas and birthday money to buy myself a bright orange underwater point and shoot Olympus camera.
At 12 years old, I didn't quite know how or why I was so drawn to it, but I knew I was never going to put down my camera. And here I am, over 15 years (and some major camera upgrades later) and I still haven't put my camera down.
