    San Diego Family Photos { Ellis Family }

    June 3, 2012

    The Ellis Family are just so fun. I photographed Katie and Scotts Wedding years ago and was so excited to do their family pictures in San Diego while we were down. It was a quick session in Carlsbad near the beach. They are some of the kindest people you will ever meet and are such a beautiful couple as well. When photographing a family I really try to capture the family dynamic that is unique to them. I love the bright colors that they also had for these family portraits

    Pacific Beach Park Family { Anne + Jamie }

    May 7, 2012

    Photographing Anne and Jamie and their little family in Pacific Beach was such a great time. We did their family pictures at the park near their house. As is normally the case in San Diego the weather was perfect and I loved the soft light coming in through the trees in the park.  Anne will be having their second baby soon and I hope we will be able to photograph their family again in the future. They are so great to work with and I had a wonderful time with them!

    Silver Reef Utah Family Photos {Moore Family}

    December 10, 2011

    Silver Reef Utah is one of my favorite places to do photos and The Moore Family is absolutely one of my favorite families to photograph. I first started doing their family pictures in 2009 in Saint George. We met up later that same year and photographed them at the beach in Encinitas in San Diego County. Last I worked with them was at Spring Mountain Ranch in Las Vegas where we did their family photos. This is such a special family. It has been so fun getting to know them better over the years. They are amazing to work with…

    La Costa Family Photos {Maudlin Family}

    November 20, 2011

    I absolutely love doing family photo sessions in Southern California. Katie and Chris are one of my favorite couples. The La Costa area near Carlsbad and Encinitas is beautiful. I came across this old palm tree farm that made for the perfect location for Katie and Chris’ family photos. I love working with this awesome couple! I photographed their engagement photos in Southern California a few years back followed by their Wedding Day in Napa Valley. They area  fantastic couple and their little boy Aiden is such an angel. It was so great to see them again and capture this…

    The First Hour: Bennett Bishop

    September 1, 2011

    THIS VIDEO WILL LOOK BEST IF PLAYED IN HD. Had the amazing opportunity to film the birth of our new son Bennett Bishop on the 29th of August. He is amazing, and the perfect addition to our family. We now have FOUR boys! Thanks so much to Doctor Heath, and the amazing staff who delivered, and helped with my wife Lauren’s recovery. My super talented brother Jon Bishop contributed the song for this fun little video. If you don’t like blood, skip the first bit. It is a “C” section, so pretty mild. Enjoy!

    Dinos at Waipio Valley

    January 3, 2011

    On a recent trip to The Big Island of Hawaii we took a drive down to the black sand beaches of Waipio Vally. My kids are obsessed with Dinosaurs, and were asking me if there were any dinosaur bones there, and if dines used to live there. I Thought it would be fun to help there imaginations a bit. I superimposed these images of dinosaurs with photos of things they were doing that day at the beach. Its amazing what you can do with a little photoshop. They went nuts over these photos. Everyone who sees them loves them and…

    Spring Mountain Ranch Family {Moore Family}

    October 20, 2010

    The Moore Family asked me about doing their family photos someplace outside of Utah and California. Spring Mountain Ranch in Las Vegas came to mind. Spring Mountain Ranch is a beautiful oasis near the red rock park in Las Vegas. This is my third time working with this awesome family. The first time was in Santa Clara Utah and the second in Encinitas California. I love seeing their kids grow up and their wonderful family dynamic. They are so fun to work with.

    Encinitas Ca Family Photos {Moore Family}

    August 20, 2009

    I really enjoyed photographing The Moore Family in Encinitas California. Earlier this year I photographed the Moore Family in St George and have really enjoyed getting to know them. They travel often to Southern California for horse races which the are involved with in Del Mar. They are a beautiful and fun family. I always love doing family pictures in San Diego. The beaches are amazing, and I love the cliffs at Grandview where we did these family photos.
