Dylan was a member of the Fresno State Marching Band and played in the mellophone section with my daughter. As she got to know Dylan she just knew she needed to introduce him to Mariah. That introduction would soon happen at a marching band get-together. Over time, Mariah and Dylan became friends.

I am SO behind on this Morro Bay engagement session, but is worth the wait! There is a great story behind this session. My photographer bestie, Susy of Susy Photo, lives in Kansas City, MO. She was coming to California for a styled shoot we were both going to attend. She wanted to do a beach session while she was here and asked if I could put something together.

Ashley and Chris’s Lake Tahoe engagement session is BEAUTIFUL! Lake Tahoe has always been special to them, so it was only fitting that we took their engagement pictures here.

This private estate engagement session was a dream come true!! It was on Jeff’s parent’s property and it was just beautiful! The first part of the session looks like were on a tropical island somewhere, but my favorite part of the day was when we walked out to the wide open sea of oats that seemed to go on forever!

Let me introduce you to Sabrina and Christopher! This Disney loving couple was set to have a Disney dream wedding in Disneyland, but COVID had other plans for them. They have decided on an intimate backyard wedding. Because of this, they got in touch with me and I am so glad they did! They are the sweetest couple and a lot of fun to hang out with.

Hope and Scott met me at Wildwood Native Park, with Scott’s two boys, on a day when it was 103 degrees! That could have made for a really miserable session but they weren’t phased by the heat at all! That’s just the way it is here in the valley.

Meet Crystal and Johnny! Their Bass Lake engagement session was EPIC! I am so thankful my clients trust me the way they do. This girl climbed rocks and hiked up a hill in a formal gown for me! When you read their love story you are going to fall in love with them. They are the kindest and most genuine people I have met. I cannot wait for their wedding day!

Alondra and Carlos are just the sweetest couple and a perfect match for my style and personality! When I first meet a potential SPV Couple, I want to be sure that we are a good fit for each other. One of the things I look for in my clients is that they are playful and joyful.

This elegant winery engagement session started at Birdstone Winery, which is a gorgeous vineyard with wide open fields and almond trees. Next, we made our way to Toca Winery! Toca has the most incredible rolling vineyards and Italian landscape.

Rene contacted me on Instagram and said he had been following me for a couple of years. YAY! He asked if I could take engagement portraits for him and his fiance, Joselin. It is always exciting to be contacted like this!
