I love this family, The Adams - Mike, Pam, Nick, Mandy and Mike! I grew up going to Coasts Hills Church with them. Nick and I also went to APU together. I was so excited when Mandy reached out wanting to gift a family session to her parents. They gained inspiration from family friends, The Bates who I also photographed in black and blue. We shot in San Juan Capistrano and had such a blast laughing and joking around!
Ah these two are the sweetest! Their families rented out this rad house in Santa Barbara for a few days before their wedding. I was so excited to join them on their last day for their dinner rehearsal. Everyone gathered together, took photos, ate food, drank wine and played some corn hole. In order to alleviate some of the hassle on their wedding day, Chris and Rachel thought it was best to get all of the family photos out of the way the day before their wedding, so we did just that and they had a beautiful wedding day!
I was SO SO happy to work with this gorgeous family! It just happened to work out they would be in San Francisco at the same time I was in town to shoot for Eyvi. I met at their hotel and Michael drove us around through Golden Gate Park and Sutro Baths. They were such a sweet family and I'm blessed to have been a part of their journey together! Congrats you two!! Happy wedding planning!
What a cute little fam! And Julie!!! She's one hot mama! She's also definitely outnumbered now with all those boys! We met up in Long Beach at one of their favorite parks before her baby shower. They were flustered for a second because it felt like nothing was going as planned - she ran a little late and forgot all the props she had wanted to bring, but hey it happens! We didn't let those things ruin the shoot. Instead we made the most of what we had and wound up with some beautiful photos!
OH MY WORD! Are they not the sweetest family? I was beyond stoked when Ryan texted me asking if I was available to photograph his grandpa's 90th birthday celebration at Montage. His family all came down and celebrated their awesome grandpa! He was the sweetest thing, as was his entire family. They made me feel so welcome, like I was part of the celebration rather than solely there to photograph the event. I'm so blessed to work with incredible people like this family!
Capture real, raw moments.
