{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!

{San Diego Family Photography~ Encinitas}

Talk about a really fun girls day! We met a a local beach nearby Jen's home in Encinitas where she frequents and the view was just breathtaking! Grandview is located in between Moonlight and Ponto beach in Encinitas and I have to say that I have being so fortunate to shoot all over the San Diego beaches and this was one of my favorites so far! The staircases leading from the tops of the cliffs to the base of the sand and beach line were huge and many of them beautifully weathered from years of bright sun and ocean air. The cliffs were also just covered with beautiful ice plants that gave a beautiful pop of color against the bright red clay cliffs! We shot and played and chatted and just had a wonderful time capturing these moments of these two beautiful girls! Our children grow so fast and I am so happy I was able to be a part of these really precious moments between mother and daughter :) 

Enjoy!~

This was one of the first shots and one of my favorites! We scaled a very high and narrow staircase to be high above the beach and I love how it came out :) 

I think we all love the weathered staircases so much!

Love all the color from the cliffs in this shot!

My favorite of this beautiful little lady!

See the little patch of rainbow over her right shoulder... 

Gorgeous girls and a perfect beach day! 

See the heart... ?? Loved this shot and only noticed that post processing! 

Love the ice plants surrounding them

As the sun went down we had some fun playing around and enjoying the last light!

The colors were just magnificent! 

And another heart! Final shot and really sums up this beautiful mother daughter duo! Full of love!

{San Diego Family Photography~Old Town}

I love when I get an oppurtunity to collaborate with a family in order to bring the distinct vision of their photos to life! This sweet family had contacted me with the idea of reflecting both their Mexican and Norwegian heritages in their family portraits through wardrobe and also a location that would give us additional elements to incorporate this theme. We settled on Old Town Historic Park for our shoot and I could not be happier with the results! Scouting out locations is always fun to envision spots where the family will be photographed and this was such a rewarding process as it all came together and we had so much fun doing it! Please enjoy this collection of photos from this session and also the beauty of family and heritage! 

One of my favorite shots from the day! 

She was such a doll!

Love the bright colors and her posing was all her!

We loved this bench! 

How cute is this Norwegian look!?!

This backdrop was a great contrast for their outfits! Some festive red and green also for the Holidays!

Had an amazing sunset that evening and the sky just lit up!

Grabbed this little stool out of a shop nearby and loved how it worked into the shots!

We could not resist getting this shot when we stumbled upon this gorgeous horse!

{San Diego Family Photography~Balboa Park}

This photo shoot was so enjoyable with this little family and Auntie in tow to entertain baby taking in all the beauty and color that Balboa Park has to offer! There are so many eclectic areas within the park and with both Mom and Dad being equally drawn to color it worked out perfectly to capture the newest and most adorable member of this sweet family! Although they live in Chicago we capitalized on their visit to see family here in sunny San Diego and had a great time creating some very sweet and of course colorful memories! Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your time here in San Diego and I hope you enjoy these shots and look back with fond memories when your sweet baby was so small!

{San Diego Family Photography~Coronado Island overlooking Downtown San Diego}

I don't know whether I choose family photography or it choose me but I have been so blessed to meet so many amazing families and capture some very special memories which I am so thankful for.

This shoot, as with each one that I do; becomes part of my life for several weeks while I am pouring over their pictures, selecting their gallery images, and then lastly editing their final selections. Without fail I fall in love with each family and see the beauty of their relationship to each other as a family unit.

 This family choose a great little hidden park located on Coronado Island that overlooks beautiful downtown San Diego that I just love. 

With their adorable little baby boy and their spunky little girl we had a great time together climbing trees, picking flowers, and capturing these memories for this sweet family! 

All the best to your family and enjoy! 

We loved this nearby door and used it in the shoot! 

Love this moment with Daddy who he looks just like!

Big Sister and baby Brother;0)

Daddy picked her this flower and she loved it! 

This was one of my favorite candids;)

Very cute pose!
