I'm a lover of color, family, love, laughter + sunshine.
I also live on coffee + tacos, but what mom of toddlers doesn't?1

I’ve had something eat at me for some time now, and I wanted to take a little time to talk about it. Getting comfortable in front of the camera. It’s huge, and it can make or break a photography session. It’s about letting yourself go, and some people have a much harder time at this...
Later this month I’m going to be a part of The Not Wedding in LA. If you know me, I don’t like to be like “everyone else”. I’ve never been to a bridal show, and I never feel the need to trick people into booking me. If you like me…awesome! But when I first learned...
I love getting Save-The-Dates and Invites from my couples. It makes my day. But when I opened Jillian + Nathan’s save the date I was over the moon. My inner nerd was very happy and I think it compares to when I got the Squall Card in Final Fantasy 8. Dancing ensued. Binary background, floppy...
Two days ago I photographed my last wedding of 2012. I can’t believe I actually made it. 29 weddings total and countless second shooting weddings to make that number jump to well over 50. I’ve poured my heart and soul into working this year, and every year I find out I have more I can...
This October should be renamed “month where I fit in way too much travel…and maybe eat more chocolate because of it”. Long name but you get the point. 🙂 I just came back from San Jose, CA yesterday from shooting an amazing wedding and tomorrow I’m driving down to Palm springs to shoot another fan-freaking-tastic wedding before...
Hey guys! So this week I have been out of the office helping shoot a few weddings in Yosemite…and I thought I should give everyone the heads up. We are heading back this Friday, where I will be coming back for two amazing weddings this coming weekend. Originally I was planning on being hooked to...
Something is missing in my life right now. I need want to travel. This desire has been slowly growing for the last year, and I’m at the point that I might just combust into a million pieces. My heart gets sad whenever I see a couple in a cool far away location…because I want to...
Last month I took a personal vacation to Kauai to rest and visit family. Durring that time I tried to relax as much as possible and recharge. I only took around 30 photos during the entire trip (not counting iphone photos of course). I wanted to share a few of them before they went into the...
I just wanted to let everyone know that in a few hours I’m jumping on a plane to Kauai and will be out of the office until July 18th. In between shooting film and relaxing…I will still have my laptop with me and be checking emails once a day. If you want to follow my...
Monday I did a very scary thing. I photographed an engagement session for another photographer. The weeks leading up to the session I was crazy nervous. Shooting for a photographer is like writing a paper for your english teacher…they know all of the rules and might just have a red pen ready. I know I’m...
I have a confession. I’ve never seen the Bucket List movie. But since it’s came out, I’ve created hundreds of mini-bucket lists on napkins and note pads. Whenever I see something amazing online, I pine to have the same experience. Sometimes I even make grabby-hands at my computer screen, it’s not pretty. Last month when...

I’m absolutely in love with this post. Can I link it to future clients? You took the words right out of my head. As a client and as a photographer I couldn’t agree with this more. I feel like it’s been so long since you’ve written a post like this and all I find myself thinking is more, more, I want more!! 🙂
Hey Kristen! Yes, feel free to share! The more people this might help the better! And I wish I could share more little advice and bits of knowledge I pick up…too bad most of the time I cant put that info into actual sentences! 🙂
