Lots of play, bouncing, testing limits, hugs, kisses, and everything in-between. I so wish this family still lived in San Diego because they really are that awesome!

Life’s greatest blessing. A group that dreams, laughs, plays and loves together. Those whom you can always count on. Always present not only in the good times. The most precious gift.

“And now that you don’t have to be perfect, you can be good”
—John Steinbeck

I know this isn’t a photography related quote, but it is for me. I let go of trying to get the perfect photos a long time ago and it was the best thing I ever did for my work! Now, I play and have fun whether I’m shooting personal or client work. Never let “perfect” stop you from having fun!

Nothing like Golden Hour at the beach.

Speaking of gold, September is Childhood Cancer Awareness month. Anytime you see gold, think of these families and the struggles they endure with their precious little ones. 💛

Ryan was born at 11:29am today, 4 years ago. So bitter-sweet...my baby told me she’d stay a baby though so it’s all good guys.

I shot Ry’s little photoshoot this evening and this was her reward for cooperating, lol. These two have come a long way!

I had to repost this picture of Ryan from her 2nd birthday shoot. I can’t believe she will be 4 on Friday 😭 Anyway, she’s our fearless wild child and just so much fun to be with. Pardon me while I go cry.

I can’t wait for our next adventure! I have a few ideas of where I’d like to go next but (SoCal locals) where is your favorite place to go for an adventure?
