whitney + andrew [LIFESTYLE]

Posted in: lifestyle

It wasn’t a coincidence that she tweeted one night she was in need of a second photographer. It also wasn’t a coincidence that I responded. Who calls you on the eve of your wedding and prays all the words you want to get out, but just can’t seem to put it into words, Whitney does. This girl has got it going on…killer looks, a pastor of a husband, a cute dog AND is a fantastic photographer. I mean SERIOUSLY!? Whitney and I have been working together these past few months and it has been a total Godsend. We are total soul sisters. We get each other. We strive to improve with every picture we take. We don’t quit when the going gets tough, and boy does it get tough sometimes! We try our humanly best to glorify God with the talents He has given to us.

Thank you so much Whit for letting me capture your family. It was SO fun!

You can see more of her fabulous work here.

natalia + chris [MARRIED]

Posted in: WEDDING

I get it now. The rush you feel before you tell the man you love I do. The tears that fall, the smiles that happen and the tender moments that are exchanged…i get it now. Natalia and Chris get it too. The joy and happiness of marriage is so precious to witness and be apart of. Wow, God is so good.

I just got married last week (wuhoo!!) and let me tell you, there is nothing that can compare. It is true what they say, it goes by SO fast. That you should pause and take it all in, yet time still flies. Being on the other side of the camera, as a bride, has given me a new perspective on how precious and important photography is, as well as how eager I am to see my on wedding photos (I feel ya brides of the world!). Your wedding day photos are meant to preserve the joy of that day and the moments that went by too fast to even remember. I get it now.

Natalia and Chris, I love you guys so much. It was seriously only yesterday that Natalia and I were chatting about boys on the blue cheer mat in high school, and now she is MARRIED! I could not be happier for you two!! I hope that the middle of the United States starts to feel like home (but seriously, come back to California!)

Posted in: WEDDING

This was such a fun day. Getting lost a few times, having to stop at CVS and Starbucks and still getting to the hotel with time to spare with Whitney sure made the trip down to Jared & Analee’s wedding a fun one. ANDDDD how good looking is this couple?! It is unfair if you ask me! Here are a few of my favorites from the day…enjoy <3 AND a big thanks to Whitney of Whitney Darling for letting me tag along and help capture this day…You are awesome!!!

ali labelle [PORTRAIT]

Posted in: senior portrait

I swear Ali and I are kindred spirits. She loves her self some good typography, fun photography and starbucks. What more could a girl ask for!? As soon as she emailed me her ideas for her senior pictures I seriously screamed “YESSSSSSS” out loud (I embarrass myself sometimes). She did not want boring senior pictures. Ali wanted to show her fun side (check), professional/business side for those job interviews (check) and her doing what she loves to do (and getting a degree in come May)…graphic design! (check). Ali, you were seriously a dream client and I wish the best for you in all your future endeavors! Go get that dream job girl!!

kathy + gus [MARRIED]

Posted in: WEDDING

 

one of the most heart warming things to witness is a groom seeing his bride for the first time. i can only imagine the joy and excitement he feels towards this woman he is about to marry. the emotion you see when gus sees kathy for the first time is so very precious. they are some of my favorite pictures from that day because of the true, raw emotion being exchanged. that is not something i could ever pose or dream up, just capture the moment with my camera and preserve that memory for years to come. did i mention i love my job??!

congratulations kathy and gus! i know your marriage will be filled with fun, joy and laughter (and disney!!).

sooo excited to see where life takes both of you. cheers!

kathy, you are stunning.moments before walking down the aisle couldn’t be more sweetlaughter is my favorite, especially in picturesso very classic and timelessgus is a karate studio owner, so this picture is only fitting.these next few are my absolute favorite:can you believe kathy’s mom made all the bridesmaid dresses?! i was so impressedA great overview from my amazing second shooter, Nicole Leever!you may now kiss the bride!gus so overwhelmed with emotion after the ceremony. love that so much.sooo dreamy!
