{Andrew Baldwin ~ Former Bachelor, Philanthropist and Boot Ambassador!}

 I had a really fun opportunity this past weekend to do an at home photo shoot with Andrew Baldwin ~ 2007 Bachelor "Officer and a Gentleman" as some of you fans may remember! ♥ 
Lieutenant Commander Andrew Baldwin M.D. is board-certified in family medicine, and is a U.S. Navy Physician.
Andrew is also an amazing Triathlete, competing in numerous Half-Ironmans and 8 time Ironman finisher. But his latest Philanthropic efforts include his nonprofit organization "The Got Your Back Network" that raises money to support the families of the service men and women who gave their lives while serving their country.
Now he can add 'Boot Ambassador' to his amazing resume! Andy agreed to allow us into his home to capture him with his "Boots On!" in support of the Boot Campaign!

Andrew Baldwin~ Doctor, Triathlete, Philanthropist and Boot Ambassador for the Boot Campaign 

He said he hadn't done one of these photo shoots in a while but he was a pro! 

Andy was such a great sport, we were laughing at this pose and said might as well make it true to life with the remote in hand watching the game!

This was my favorite shot from the day! 

Gwen and I had to get a pic with the former Bachelor! xoxo

{Make-A-Wish ~ San Diego | Hotel Del Coronado}

One of my favorite things and also the biggest blessing with my photography is when I get a chance to give back. I had the amazing experience to partner with a team of photographers to offer Family Portrait sessions to over 30 Make-A-Wish Families! 

Make-A-Wish San Diego set up shop right on the beach in front of the Hotel Del and each family came and was paired with a photographer to complete their 20min mini session! 

The day was just an overwhelmingly humbling experience to meet these families and find out some of what their children are facing and also what their 'Wishes' were and if they had been granted yet! 

More on that in the future but I have to say that this was one of the best experiences I have had so far with using my gifts for good and blessing others in the process! I hope these photos will be a sweet reminder of our time together and your families and your children will be in my heart and prayer for a lifetime!

{Boot Campaign}

My latest photo shoot was in collaboration with the Boot Campaign an amazing non profit that encourages everyone to "Get their boots on" providing an easy and tangible way for Americans to show appreciation for our troops, cultivate awareness of the challenges they face upon return and raise funds for military programs meeting the physical and emotional needs of our heros.

In preparation for their upcoming event in San Diego event I had the pleasure of working with their Corporate Partners based here in San Diego

 Andrew Paul of Benchmark Mortgage 

and 

Char Ekoniak of Costal Rock Realty 

Char and Andrew are both Co-Hosting this years 2nd Annual Boots On San Diego Event taking place on March 23rd at San Diego Harley Davidson (5600 Kearny Mesa Blvd, San Diego) 

This promises to be a great event so please come out and support our nation's military service members, veterans, and their families! 

The second half of my shoot was with Boot Campaign Support Travis Fishburn! 

All the shots were taken in and around San Diego, Char and Andrew's capturing the beautiful San Diego Skyline and Travis' with a more edgy and colorful feel to match his one of a kind personality.

Thank you so much to the Boot Campaign for giving me the opportunity to work with you and I am looking forward to getting my boots on for the upcoming events!!
