    Olivenhain Family Photos {Maudlin Family}

    December 20, 2014

    The Olivenhain Town Hall is the perfect spot in Encinitas Ca for a family photography session. Over the years I have been photographing the Maudlin Family I have come to know them as some of the most kind and loving people. I have watched their family grow and mature. It all started when I photographed their engagement photos in Encinitas California and then their wedding photos in Napa California. Since then I have photographed their growing family on several occasions. We have done family photography sessions in La Jolla, Family photo sessions in Carlsbad at the carlsbad lagoon and at…

    Carlsbad Train Station { Liljestrom Family }

    February 11, 2014

    I had the opportunity to photograph John and Sarah’s Wedding in San Diego several years ago. I was so excited to get to shoot their family pictures in Carlsbad recently. John started a mens wear company years ago so between he and Sarah they have some awesome fashion sense. Their kids are about as cute as can be in their little bow ties and colored pants. Their 4 year old is one of the best 4 year old skate boarders in the US. He is amazing! We had to include the skate boards with a few of the shots. I…

    San Diego Park Family Pictures {Anne + Jamie}

    February 6, 2014

    Photographing this beautiful family as their kids grow up over the years has been so great. This is now my third time taking their family pictures in San Diego and I couldn’t be more thrilled to work with them again. I meat them while Anne was still pregnant with their second and shot their photos at a park near their house in Pacific Beach. The second session after their second boy was born was at the beach in PB just down the hill from their home. I can’t say enough how great it is to photograph this awesome family. I…

    Snow Canyon Red Rock {Jessica + Matt}

    January 10, 2014

    When couples from out of town tell me they want photos somewhere with red rocks, somewhere that really says Southern Utah, Snow Canyon automatically comes to mind. The sand dunes, the black lava rock, the sage brush and red sand stone cliffs really are an amazing specimen of Southern Utah. Jessica and Matt have been married for several years and recently moved to the area. They were a great couple to work with and I loved seeing them still so in love!

    Carlsbad Lagoon Family Photo {Katie + Chris}

    December 12, 2013

    I love photographing couples and families in San Diego. Katie and Chris and their beautiful family have to be one of my favorites! I have worked with Katie and Chris many times over the years first photographing their engagement photos in encinitas and wedding day in St Helena, then different family sessions over the years. Their first family photo session in La Costa was when Aiden was just a baby. We then photographed them again when Aiden had his first birthday. Its always so much fun! We decided to shoot at the Lagoon in Carlsbad to get the feel of the outdoors…

    Snow Canyon Family Photos

    November 27, 2013

    Year round Snow Canyon is a perfect place for family photos. It is always beautiful. The red rock cliffs and amazing views make for the perfect location for any kind of pictures. This session happened to get Snow Canyon when it actually had snow. This is pretty unique. We had an unusual amount of snow this year in St George and as far as photos are concerned I’m glad! I had a great time with this amazing little family and was so glad to have been able to work with them. The day was beautiful though cold and they were…

    Southern Utah Family Photos {Moore Family}

    September 24, 2013

    One of my favorite sessions of each year is photographing the Moore Family. This year we photographed their family at the Kayenta Reservoir. It is a beautiful spot and is a great contrast to some of their previous sessions. I have been working with the Moores for about five years now. We first photographed their family not far from where this session took place. Our next session was quite a bit farther away, but like the beautiful lake in this session water was our inspiration shooting at the beach in San Diego. The Desert of Red Rock in Las Vegas…

    Logandale Family Photos {Cannon Family}

    September 5, 2013

    Traveling to Logandale to do photos is always great. I have had the opportunity to photograph the Cannon family on a few different occasions. They are an awesome family and so great to work with. They live in Logandale and wanted to have something different then the normal desert look. In Logandale there is an lot pine tree farm that was for a subdivision that never happened. The trees are big and beautiful and are one of my favorite parts of the city.

    August 20, 2013

    I recently photographed this wonderful family in Santa Clara Utah. Last year I had the opportunity to shoot their wedding photos and was so glad for the opportunity to work with them again. It was so wonderful seeing these two families come together and to further unite them is the new baby girl. I always have a great time with family photos.

    St George Family Photo {Ellis Family}

    April 6, 2013

    I photographed Katie and Scott Ellis’ Wedding photos a few years ago and then their family photos in San Diego and have become good friends with them over the years. I love their little family! Scott is a super talented Dentist in Southern Utah and Katie is very talented with everything she does. She used to work for the news up north but after having two little ones has taken the role of awesome Mom! This photo session was a bit out of the blue to get photos of their little guy turning two and some quick photos for a…

    Pacific Beach Family Pictures { Jamie + Anne }

    January 20, 2013

    About 6 Months ago I had the awesome opportunity to photograph Jamie & Anne and their cute family before the newest addition arrived. I was so glad that they loved their photos enough to have be come back and photograph their family again in San Diego. We started at their house  in PB just hanging out on the bed doing pics of them playing with their kids and ended up at the beach down the road. When I go and have fun in the ocean I love a sandy beach, but for the purpose of these photos and keeping the kids…

    July 25, 2012

    I had the opportunity to photograph Katie and Chris’ wedding in Napa Valley a few years ago and their engagements in Encinitas, and love working with them. It is so great to watch their family progress and grow. One of the things I look forward to most when going to San Diego is photographing this awesome little family! Their Son Aiden recently turned one, and these are a few of the photos we took from their family session in La Jolla San Diego.
