Sunday in Rancho Brenardo

This past weekend I was in San Diego (my hometown) visiting friends and family. On Sunday I got together with two friends from High School and their families. We met at this little park in Rancho Bernardo. It was hard doing a shoot and making sure Kody wasn't jumping in the lake, but we had a good time. Here are some shots from the day:

This is my friend Anna and her baby girl Ava. She is such a sweetie!








I love how he is looking at Ava:

My other friend Kristen I have done pictures for before, but you can never get too many shots of them!!



Thanks guys!

Traci and Sean

On Friday I shot a wedding for Traci and Sean at the Arizona Golf Resort in Mesa. They have an amazing love story. Having been together for many years Sean decided to make a life altering decision at the age of 40, to quit his job as an Architect and join the Army. He had actually just graduated from boot camp and got home just days before the wedding! Traci is 100% supportive of her husbands honorable decision. I felt very blessed to be there for their special day. Traci looked so beautiful and her dress was amazing! Here are some shots from the day:

Who's going to get it??:

Kenny and Kayla

On Thursday I assisted in shooting Kenny and Kayla's temple wedding pictures. I wasn't able to attend the reception, but I am glad I was able to be there for these. They were both easygoing and fun to shoot. I wish them all the best with their future, here are some of the shots I got:











I love this picture because it was totally candid!:

Jake turned 1!

A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to do portraits with the wonderful Boudreau family and their adorable little boy Jake. They kindly asked me back to shoot Jake's 1st Birthday party. They had a clown, a mini bouncer and tons of food. Everyone had a great time. Here are some of my favorite shots:

He didn't like his cake too much. I don't know why not, it was so yummy!:


Happy Birthday Jake!
