A babymoon trip that ended with maternity photos at one of my favorite spots in Laguna Beach. As a Laguna Beach maternity photographer, Shaw’s Cove is a location I return to again and again for one specific reason. That reason is the way golden hour light filters through the row of palm trees against that […]

When you have a flat, open beach like this, timing is everything. Soft skin tones, dreamy light, that warm golden haze all come down to those last minutes before the sun drops. These Newport Beach family photos was one of those nights. It was windy, which ended up being a gift. The movement in mom’s […]

There is something about the OC coastline that makes even the most camera shy family relax. Maybe it’s the sound of the waves or that staring at the ocean can be mesmerizing. Whatever it is, beach family sessions have a way of feeling less like a photoshoot and more like an evening you’d spend together […]

Have you ever considered a studio session for your next set of family photos? My at-home sessions have become what I’m best known for here in Orange County.

That work is beautiful for some, but it never excited me. Every lifestyle family session I shoot is built around documentary-style photography that feels […]

One of the best parts of my job is documenting multi-generational family photos. There’s something about getting everyone in one room: the energy, the love, the gentle chaos of it all. When this family reached out, they planned an at-home lifestyle session with their newborn twins, joined by both sets of grandparents. At-home newborn session […]

One of my biggest core memories as a kid was going to Disneyland, the sounds of Main Street, seeing characters walk around greeting guests, and the iconic Monorail gliding by in the background.
