I will be shooting Lindsey and Jacob's lovely wedding in San Luis Obispo {technically, Arroyo Grande} this weekend. Since Nick will be staying in San Diego to document another last minute wedding, I have the great luck that the amazing Kameron Ahler is available and coming to help me shoot! He has such a great eye, and I can not wait to see what he ends up with. Here are some of Kam's awesome photos that he took for our website=)
Photographing these beautiful people makes me happier than I could possibly explain. I feel like I was just taking Wyatt's newborn photos, and now he is about to be two! It is so odd how quickly time passes, and how fast teensy little babies turn into people that talk, run, and think for themselves...so weird! I give to you the handsome Luke, the sweet Peyten, and the charming baby Wyatt!
Learning how to use the Holga! =)
Sara and Jay's wedding is today and I can't wait-look how awesome they are! I have a fresh roll of color film loaded and some lenses to pick up at George's Camera...I am a happy kid. Have a good weekend friends!
My lovely and talented friend Angie. She built her adorable website from scratch...semantically correct html and all. =) I will be posting photos of her finished wedding invitations soon! I am exited to be in her wedding in August=)=)

I had dinner with an amazingly strong lady last night who's younger brother died in Auschwitz at the age of 19. I listened quietly, ate my matzo ball soup, and watched as the tears welled up in her eyes {but never spilled over.} Hearing such a personal and painful story from someone so tiny and fragile made every stress and worry disappear in my mind for those few minutes. I am reminded that the little things that worry us, are just that-little. The big things in life- the people that influence us, how much we enjoy each moment (even the painful ones,) and the strength we give to the memories of people who aren't with us anymore, are the things that we should be focusing that "worry" energy on. I am so humbled by that sweet lady, and I will continue to think of her beloved little brother who didn't get the chance to live a full life. The good news? Maybe his story will inspire us to not take anything or anyone for granted, to appreciate and soak up each moment as it passes, and to just let the little worries go. Since this was a little on the sad side, and because no post is complete without a photo, here is one that makes me smile and feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
We got to photograph a very energetic and talented band, The Crashing Marbles a while back and I didn't post any images from the shoot-so here they are! *Clients/friends/stalkers: I'll be back from New York on July 4th, so if we are in the midst of scheduling an appointment or setting up a time to pick up your photos, expect an email next week. Have a good holiday weekend!

I have been with my Grandma for a few days in New York, and I have been thinking nonstop about how important family is. I have been so enjoying listening to her stories, joys, and worries about what's next. Also, hearing her speak so fondly of my sweet romantic Grandpa Max who she misses dearly, has been so wonderful and I am SO grateful to be spending this precious time with her.
Here are a few photos from two recent weddings of really lovely Grandparents who totally stole my heart, just as my Grandma Lee has=)
Rough housing with his energetic grandson=)
I love her expression. So proud and so in love with her Granddaughter.
Grandparents+technology=CUTENESS!! She was texting!
If you are lucky enough to still have your Grandparents around, give them a call, send them a love note, or if you are amazingly lucky enough to be near them-(gently) squeeze the heck out of them and tell them thank you for everything they did for you and your family.
After all...there would be no you without them.
I decided to leave you with some holga photos to look at while I am gone. I love the weirdness of this camera=)
Oscar and an overlapped image of my dad shooting in college…one of my favorites.
Celina+TJ…light leaked and weird color…but I kinda like this one.
My lovely friend Heather found this duck wall in North Park…so cute!
Have a good weekend!
This sweet couple is getting married in July, and I am so looking forward to it! We got to run around La Jolla with them and play in some amazing light. They decided to get a big print to hang at the wedding, and I can't wait to see which one they pick! {Side Note to clients and friends...} I will be in New York until July 4th visiting my Grandma Lee, so Nick will be answering emails and handling things while I am gone. Don't worry I won't take ANY photos of my frizzy hair in the East coast humidity. I am only bringing my Holga and a Nikon flash on this trip, should be a fun project=) Happy Friday!
I want to wish my sweet Dad a happy fathers day-he is pretty much the best ever. I grew up getting handwritten notes in my lunch, Beatles and Talking Heads sung to me over and over, and frisbee catches all over the place. There is no one in the world who's opinion I value over his, and I am SO LUCKY to have the crazy, odd, creative, enlightened, open-minded, and FUN Dad that I do. HAPPY FATHERS DAY FACCIA!
I took this photo of my Dad when I was four while in New York visiting my Grandparents. I am sure my Dad (who is an amazing photographer with an unbelievable eye) set the camera, composed, and focused the shot...but this is my first documented photo ever, and I love it!
Nick took these two photos yesterday and I just had to share them...he has such an eye for lines. I want to print these HUGE. Happy Thursday friends!
I am sad to be moving out of Old Town, so I needed a few last pictures to remember how much I enjoyed living here. I also shot Steph and her love a little bit ago… (S+A) The last two are holga shots that I didn't post from the lovebirds session, gotta love light leaks!
