    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…

    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.

    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…

    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!

    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.
