Happy 5th Anniversary!

Happy Dad Day!

I have a really awesome Dad...see lasts year's post with one of my first photos ever (of my handsome young Dad!) Here are some photos of a recent trip to Big Bear with my Dad and sweet Dove. He is still laying on the ground taking photos, and having fun wherever he goes. I am a LUCKY daughter!

North Park Love

Here are some frames from today's shoot with two charismatic musicians...so fun! I am working on getting caught up with posting...lots to share!

Rancho Courtyard Wedding, San Diego

I got to document Olga and Leonardo’s fun wedding on Saturday.  I was hoping to get a few photos up before they leave for their honeymoon in Greece…so jealous. I’ll share more soon! Here are some photos we took before the wedding in Old Town...(engagement shoot)

Sweet Kiddos (and Oscar) in San Diego light

These kiddos love my pup Oscar dearly, so his presence was requested to come along on a trip to the park. Here are three of my favorite kids on this planet...enjoy!

Lovebirds in Presidio Park, Engagement Photos

I get to document Olga and Leonardo's wedding next month, and I am very much looking forward to it. For their engagement photos we played around Presidio Park, and had a walk around Old Town after the Cinco De Mayo celebration participants stumbled away. We received some amazing light after a few days of waiting out some chilly (for San Diego) weather, but it was so worth it. Enjoy this sweet couple! =)

Photos in Presidio Park, San Diego

Here is one frame from today...can't wait to share the rest!

Wedding at University of San Diego, 35mm 1.4 lens

Photo Nerd Post: Canon 24mm Tilt Shift | The Sprouting Image

I have had a few photo friends ask to post some images with the lens info included, so here ya go!If you don't care about lenses, I still like you and here is a photo for your eyes to enjoy anyway! =) This shot was taken with the Canon 24mm TS-E  3.5L at an engagement shoot in San Diego.  I enjoy this lens a lot, but it's not very practical for shooting in a fast paced environment, as it's truly meant for architecture and landscape photography. The next photo nerd post is  about the 35mm 1.4, so don't worry about getting your fast lens fix!  Check out the 24mm tilt-shift on B&H here, and if you are in San Diego rent it or buy it at George's Camera, and tell Suzane I sent you!

Love Birds in North Park, San Diego.

This is by far one of my favorite couples ever!!  Sara and Jay are sarcastic and witty, and they love Italian food and kitties as much as I do. We took photos in North Park  for an upcoming (top secret) video project and these are some of my favorites! Enjoy=)

Old Town, Engagement Photos

Nicole and Nick are very in love, which makes taking photos of them really, really fun. Their lovely San Diego wedding was a few months back on the beach in Coronado. We decided to take their engagement photos after the wedding so we wouldn't be rushed, and because they are awesome like that. Thanks to my wonderful second shooter Boun Loun for her help, and I am getting excited for her big website launch soon! Enjoy this couple=)

Here are a few of Boun the photo ninja’s images below.
