The Kirk Family

Photographing other photographers and their families can be super stressful but also incredibly rewarding. :) I joined up with a handful other local photographers to do portrait swaps, and below are some of my favorites of the session we did of the Kirk family in Old Poway Park!

Chrissie is a fellow Marine wife, a super mom, and the photographer and brains behind Bella Luce Photography. Her two boys were total hams during the session, so it was a blast!

Thank you to Chrissie and her family for allowing us to photograph you!

Happy Mother’s Day to my mom, my grandmothers, Chrissie, and all other moms out there! May your day be filled with love!

Merry Christmas!

I’m so excited to share these images with you!

Last month, my friend Katie let me in on a little secret: she and her husband, Chris, are expecting their first child next year! She was hoping we’d be able to create a Christmas card she could send out to her friends and family to share the news. We met up at the Ranch House at Camp Pendleton with a few props to create the perfect announcement card. We created the cards and she sent them to their family and friends, so now I’m able to share the news here, too!

Here are some of my favorite images from our session.

Congratulations to the soon-to-be parents! I’m so excited to meet their little one next summer!

I hope everyone else has a very Merry Christmas!

The G Family

Hi all!

It sure has been a while since I’ve posted here. I was up to my nose in family sessions and family gatherings this fall, though I wouldn’t change it for anything!

Here is a recent family session I did with the fabulous G family at Oceanside Pier and Beach. Isn’t little D just as cute as can be??

I hope you all are having a wonderful holiday season!

Welcome Home, Josh!

A great big Welcome Home goes out to Josh!

Josh safety returned from Afghanistan today and his family welcomed him with wide, open arms. I met Josh’s wife, Lori, at a class for Marine spouses a while ago and was excited to be a part of such a special day! Josh’s mom and sister (with his niece and nephew in tow) had flown in as a surprise for his homecoming, and Lori’s sister was there as well. Though baby Grace had (unintentionally, of course) given away her secret on the way to Camp Horno, Josh had no idea that his mother would be present as well. The reunion between everyone was truly heartwarming.

Here are a handful of my favorite images from this afternoon!

Welcome Home, Josh!

The Ross Family – Part 2

The Ross family was back in action this fall, and this time we explored the San Diego Botanic Garden during our session. This family is super sweet and I just adore them!
