Pacific Grove Wedding | Alex+Erik

I've known her since we were twelve years old (when we both rocked the big bangs) so when she contacted me about photographing her wedding, of course I jumped at the opportunity. Alex and Erik are the cutest thing ever and I was so honored to be there to document their big day...

The first look...

Congratulations Alex and Erik!!!!

Nothing Even Matters

Some people stop to smell the roses. I make us stop to take a quick photo, so we remember these small but special moments in our life. It was a beautiful day in Santa Cruz and earlier in the summer when life wasn't so busy.

LOVE.

I spend a lot of time staring at the computer screen, culling and editing pictures for hours on end, sometimes skipping sleep all together. Thankfully, Pandora keeps me going (and dancing at the computer as I edit the night away).

As I uploaded the above image to the blog and began typing this post, the most appropriate song comes on...

110%

There’s nothing more I appreciate than a person that brings their 110% to whatever it is they’re doing. Someone that’s fully present in the moment and ready to accomplish a goal.

Meet Alicia.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with model Alicia Briggs a couple times now and this girl brings her all when it's time to shoot. 110%.

A Special Time

I've known her since she was an itty-bitty little girl, watched her grow up into a mature, young woman, and now I get to witness this special time in her life.... My sister-in-law Kisha is expecting and I couldn't be more excited!

Love you Kish! You will be a great mom and we can't wait til our little niece or nephew arrives!

The Yellow Beach House

Melanie and family came from all over California and beyond for a week-long family reunion in Pacific Grove. The cool part was her dad booked a huge, vacation home near the beach for everyone to stay in under one roof, and, the best part for me was that Melanie contacted me for group family portraits during their stay here!

They’re definitely one of the nicest families I’ve ever met. They were so warm and welcoming, where I almost felt like I was a part of the family. The fact that they are a family of all daughters is what was so relatable to me. So sweet.

Thanks Melanie! It really was a pleasure meeting you all. Thanks for finding me!
