What do you get when you mix a last-minute family trip, a 10-year anniversary, a 40th birthday, and San Diego’s jaw-dropping La Jolla beaches? Absolute magic. As a San Diego beach photographer, I had the honor of capturing this family’s whirlwind celebration—and trust me, it was as heartwarming as it was stunning. This family came...
Some people plan their family photo sessions months in advance by asking around to friends. Others? They hop on Google, type in “Mission Beach photographer” and—boom—find me. Which is exactly how this amazing Stockton, CA, crew landed in front of my camera. And honestly? Fate did them a solid. This wasn’t just any family session....
When the Sun Plays Nice and You Get Jaw-Dropping Photos Timing is everything—especially when it comes to beach photography in San Diego. The light changes fast, and if you pick the wrong time, you’ll end up with harsh shadows, squinty eyes, and photos that look like a midday meltdown. So when is the sweet spot?...
As a San Diego engagement photographer (and, on days like this, a total sap for love), I live for moments like these. Rory and Hannah’s proposal at Sunset Cliffs was one of those magical evenings you want to bottle up forever. Picture this: golden hour (but clouds) on the cliffs of San Diego with the...
There’s something about La Jolla that just gets it. The sparkling coastline, the breeze that says, “Hey, I’m salty and fabulous,” and the golden-hour light that flatters everyone. It’s like the ultimate wingman for love stories—and Kyah and Elliott brought one heck of a love story to tell so they hired me, a San Diego...
A romantic beach proposal in La Jolla, totally worth the wait. It’s the kind of story that reminds me why I love being a proposal photographer. When Bobbie and Victor reached out (well, technically Bobbie’s mom did first!), I knew this wasn’t just going to be a wedding proposal—it was going to be a love...
As a Coronado family photographer, I get to meet some pretty incredible families. But when the Marcums roll into town? It’s next-level chaos—in the best way possible. Five boys. Three of them triplets. ALL of them with energy levels that make me question my own life choices (and caffeine intake). The Marcums hail from Oregon,...
Ella, a soon-to-be graduate, brought all the vibes—sunlit skies, ocean waves, and an effortless mix of classy and casual outfits. When it came time to capture her San Diego senior portraits, we knew Pacific Beach was the perfect spot. With its laid-back energy, golden sand, and ocean breeze, it’s a place that just feels like...
Expansive Views Low tide is like the beach pulling back the curtain for the main act. Suddenly, you’ve got this vast ocean floor stretching out like nature’s red carpet. Tidal pools appear, the horizon feels endless, and you’re standing there thinking, “How did I not know this magic was here all along?” It’s awe with...
If you’re looking for a sign to hire an engagement photographer for your San Diego proposal, this is it. Especially if your plan involves trickery, ocean cliffs, and just a hint of “Wait… what are we doing here again?” Flight Attendant Meets Engineer. Sparks Fly. She’s a globe-trotting flight attendant with a rollaboard full of...
The Maurers are the kind of family that makes my job as a Coronado family photographer an absolute joy. Their little boy? A bundle of energy and pure charm. He was all about splashing in the waves, running through the sand, and exploring every corner of the beach, which made for the most natural, joy-filled...
Let’s talk about the day Elaine, a Certified Sommelier and absolute wine wizard, turned my lens into a gateway to her world of grape magic. Branding photography isn’t just about headshots or perfectly posed smiles—it’s about telling your story in a way that makes people feel like they already know you. It’s the difference between...
