Happy Anniversary to these talented lovebirds, Wendy and Ryan! Their proposal story may have centered around an emotional game of Magic the Gathering and they took games and a console with them on their honeymoon...let's just say they are a match made in gaming heaven!
Wendy is an artist at DreamWorks and also posts her fantastic personal work here-WendyDoodles. One of her pieces featuring Superman is my favorite so far- adorable! Enjoy!
This was a wonderful day in Los Angeles surrounded by a newly joined glee filled family and two beautiful women so in love it was contagious. Thanks to the happy brides, their families, and their lovely/talented kiddos for having me along for the joy fest.
This venue is a secret garden dreamland...I was in heaven. Congrats Tanya+Jacob, and thanks for having me!
Put a bird on it…
Here are all the film images from the Bowerbirds show at the Casbah! Checkout the digital photos from the night, and a short written piece I did for the ever amazing San Diego music blog, Owl & Bear! <—here ya go Mom+Gma! =)
Here are a few photos from my Mamiya, which is a highly addicting medium format film camera that tempts me to put down my digital cameras completely. The digital images will be up soon from this sweet and small wedding on the cliffs. I am so thankful for these people.
Erin’s sweet Dad--->
Here’s a few of their digital photos that I posted last week…SO much color! (Erin+Dom | a few frames)
Almost two years ago I photographed Natalie and Josh's wedding and had so much fun with them and their families. A few weeks ago, I got to take photos of their nephew's first birthday party and see some of the family again! It was the shared party of two charming little boys Carson+Braxton. Enjoy!
Beautiful Natalie below...

Mamiya photo of Taryn...Carson's quiet, but very photogenic big sister. I like the concentration on her face while playing in the sand.

Here are a few digital shots from last weekend's awesome wedding. These two have become great friends of mine and I feel SO lucky to work with such creative and fun people. More coming soon, as well as the film photos from this day! =)
These are from a recent roll out of my new Mamiya 645-a delish medium format film camera! Thanks so much to the Soderstrom family (who makes ridiculously cute babies and grandbabies) for spending the morning with me! =)
Here is a link to the digital images! =)
This couple is having a lovely wedding at the Marston House this year…I can’t wait! Jess+Gary met at another wedding I was photographing a few years back, (Jay and Sara’s wedding) and have been together ever since…so adorable! At this engagement shoot, I got stung by stinging nettle all up my arm, and a super cool mutant ant colony discovered and explored the entire surface of my left foot- eek!! I was so glad to have such good friends there to watch me embarrass the heck out of myself, scream my head off, and almost get carried away by giant ants. Such a fun adventure! =)
Thanks for picking me Jess+Gary!!
A dear friend from high school asked me to document her sweet family while they were in San Diego celebrating her parent's 30th anniversary...so cute!! Congrats to Judi and Steve on 30 happy years, and lots of beautiful grandbabies to show for it! =)
Here are two images from a very, very, adventurous engagement shoot! I also have some 120 film that I took during this adventure from my beautiful new Mamiya, which I am overly excited to share. Enjoy these sweet lovebirds! =)
Here are a couple of film images from Marina+Beltons wedding!

I love shooting in the fog! Enjoy these fun siblings!
Pouty baby=)
I got to second shoot an awesome Momma and Daughter with my dear friend Modish Ink Designs. These are a mixture of digital images and half frame 35mm film (from the Holga TIM135!) The vertical shots with the black edges are film...enjoy! =)

I didn’t really know if this camera worked…so getting these images back was pretty magical.
The photo above is of my sweet kitty Luke who passed away recently…see a few more images of him here.
The photo below is a double exposure from Nina+Scott’s wedding in San Luis Obispo…
