It is so gratifying to voyage through life with couples, such as Michael and Shawna.  It’s my pleasure to capture their most important milestones.  We’ve journeyed from their lighthearted, engagement session in La Jolla, to their elegant, Country Club wedding in Fallbrook.  This time we met in the Spring, in a green field, to celebrate the much anticipated arrival of their baby girl, Madalyn.  Congratulations Shawna and Michael, and thank you for bringing me along to document your most monumental times.  You’re going to have one lucky little girl!    

This beautiful couple just happens to be two of my very best friends.  Sydney and Stephen are expecting their first baby at the end of this month.  With a little kicking and screaming (on Steve’s behalf) we packed up the car and headed to the beach for an impromptu photo shoot.  I strapped my seven month baby girl, Scarlett on me and we shot a few photos at sunset.  Sometimes all you need for a successful photo shoot is a beautiful couple, and ten minutes of daylight.  I know that Sydney and Stephen will be the most wonderful, good humored, patient, parents around.  It’s so fun to watch our  families grow together.  I love you guys!     

These ladies couldn’t be any more beautiful.  From the very first moment I met Lindsay, I felt an immediate connection.  Not only is Lindsay incredibly beautiful on the outside, she is also sweet, kind, and has a calming way about her.  Her little girls radiate the same kindness and beauty as their mama.  Thanks for letting me capture the evening-digging in the sand, soaking up the sun, and wading in the water under the pier.

Life just got sweeter for the Carlucci family!  Baby Aiden was warmly welcomed into the world on February 17, 2015.  I had the pleasure of spending a couple hours with the Carlucci family.  Their home was filled with bright morning sunshine, cuddles, and lots of laughter.  This little guy has stolen the heart of his parents and his big brother Andy.
