Family vacations come and go—but photos? They stick around long after the sunburns fade and the sand finally disappears from the car seats. This extended family knew that. That’s why, before fully diving into their week of surf, tacos, and together time in Pacific Beach, CA, they made sure to book something that would last...
As a lifestyle beach photographer in San Diego, I’ve done it all—sunsets, extended families, wild toddlers, you name it. But sessions like this? Where there’s love, movement, and just a dash of chaos? That’s where the good stuff lives. The family hadn’t had professional portraits since baby #2 arrived, so this wasn’t just another day...
Let’s talk about surf, style, and serious brand vibes. When Saltwater Fix reached out for a beach lifestyle branding session, I knew right away this wasn’t going to be a stock-standard product shoot. This was about creating a visual identity that felt like the brand: easy, salty, sun-worn, and effortlessly cool—like a wave that breaks...
These surprise wedding proposal photos in La Jolla didn’t just document the event—they told their story. The beginning of the rest of their lives, with the ocean as witness and one very lucky photographer (that’s me) behind the lens. Some moments don’t just tug at your heart—they full-on bear-hug it. That’s what this La Jolla...
I recently had the pleasure of capturing a special moment for Jeremy and Itzel. Jeremy had planned to propose to Itzel on Sunset Cliffs, in Point Loma on Christmas Day. They had been together for 3.5 years, and he wanted to take the next step and propose to her at one of their favorite places...
The Beckman family, owners of the successful dog training business in Ramona, recently had a family portrait session done on the beautiful beaches of Encinitas. The Beckman’s have been close friends of mine for years. Their love for animals, and many years of experience working with marine mammals, made it a no-brainer for them to...

Sean and Ana had a beautiful surprise proposal at Balboa Park. Sean proposed to Ana on a bench in the beautiful Alcazar Garden. Sean secretly had a friend bring pillows and wine. They sat down on the bench and talked for a while and I tried to act busy. Balboa Park is one of the...
I am so privileged to photograph young women as they transition from childhood into adulthood. I was lucky enough to be able to photograph this wonderful senior, Brooke, at Pacific Beach in San Diego, CA. We ended up shooting this session at Crystal Pier because it holds a special place in her heart. She has...
It is my belief that engagement photos should be a fun experience. Steph and Ryan are the perfect example of how to let go and have fun during an engagement session! Ryan is from San Diego but he and Stephanie currently live in Northern California so they decided to do an engagement session while they...
Senior portrait photographers —yes, that’s me, and yes, I was absolutely thrilled to work with Ava, a powerhouse in pointe shoes with a head full of ambition and sunlight. This girl? She’s not just stepping into her senior year; she’s strutting into it with intention. Ava knows who she is and isn’t afraid to show...
Thank you to the Nollens family for a fun day at the beach! This family of six is always so much fun. We had a great time exploring the sand and climbing rocks. Their sons are adorable and had fun with my camera! Hendrik’s parents made the long trip all the way from Belgium so...
