    Carlsbad Lagoon Family Photos {Hekier Family}

    February 4, 2015

    As a photographer I travel all over and always love visiting Southern California. I have the wonderful opportunity to work with some amazing families in Southern California. Working with the Hekier family for the first time in Carlsbad was such a treat! I absolutely love their amazing style and family dynamic. Its always fun shooting in beautiful places. The Carlsbad Lagoon is one of those spots where I’m always so inspired. When photographing a Family I really try to capture who they are as a whole and then of course small bits of the individuals as well. I loved being…

    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…

    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…

    Costal Lagoon Engagement {Jen + Travis}

    May 15, 2013

    Jen and Travis live in Southern California in Carlsbad and loved the idea of doing their engagement pictures at the Carlsbad Lagoon. They found me through their friends Katie and Chris who’s wedding I photographed in Napa a few years back. When I met this awesome couple at Katie’s sister Lexi’s wedding and the said they wanted me to be their wedding photographer I couldn’t have been more thrilled. They are both so much fun and have an amazing time with one another. We wondered around the costal lagoon and just had a great time snapping photos all over. I…

    San Diego Family Photos {Katie + Chris + Aiden Year 1}

    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.

    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!

    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…

    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.
