San Diego Trip | April 2019

San Diego Trip | April 2019

This spring I had the opportunity to travel out to California to capture one of my couple’s engagement sessions. We ended up doing two shoots, one on the beaches of San Diego, and one in Alabama Hills & Mt. Whitney. Both were amazing of course!

For this trip, my mom tagged along as my travel buddy and occasional lighting assistant. You may remember that we traveled together out west last year, when we went to Las Vegas, Red Rock, Valley of Fire, and Death Valley. It seems like this trip out west may become an annual thing!

Colorado Trip | February 2019

Colorado Trip | February 2019

Many of you know that I headed out to Denver to capture an adventurous engagement session up in the Rocky Mountains! I spent a weekend there exploring all around the area.

The first night I went up into the national park to scout where our session would be. Since I was exploring alone, I didn’t hike any of the trails, but it was still amazing to watch the sun set, and grab a few selfies along the way.

Omni William Penn Wedding | Kinley and Tony

Omni William Penn Wedding | Kinley and Tony

I got a fun email a while back. It was from Kinley. She told me that they wanted to elope to Pittsburgh! PA is one of the only states where you can get a self-uniting marriage license, and that is what they wanted to do. Just the two of them, saying their vows to each other, on Valentine’s Day.

Mellon Park Maternity Session | Jourdan and Vince

I have had the pleasure of working with Jourdan and Vince on multiple occasions in the past couple years. We took engagement photos and I photographed their beautiful wedding! Naturally, I was thrilled when they asked me to take their maternity photos. We went to one of my favorite locations, Mellon Park, and they rocked every pose with ease! I’m so excited for them to welcome their new baby into the world. Congratulations you two!

Oakland Senior Session | Maggie

Oakland Senior Session | Maggie

Maggie rocked her senior photos! We started with a gorgeous, floor length gown. I love when high school seniors choose something formal as one of their outfit selections.

Our next stop was Phipps Conservatory, which is always a great location for nature shots. We hiked all over the block, including a few photos along the path to Panther Hollow. Then headed to the cars for one last stop - twilight shots along the North Shore.

San Diego Engagement | Rachel & Ryan

Rachel & Ryan were incredible to work with. Let’s just start off by saying this is only part 1 of this session. Day 2 was all about the desert and the mountains! Be on the lookout next week.

We started at Torrey Pines overlooking the beach, taking advantage of the cliffs views. We then made the absolutely crazy & exhilarating hike down to the beach access, which included a pass through a small slot canyon, and using a rope to navigate a particularly steep rock face. I may have been covered head to toe in dirt by the end, but I had a smile on my face.
