{San Diego Family Photography~ Rancho Valencia | Del Mar}

This session was so elegant and I loved every second with this wonderful family! These are a select few of the images from our day together at The Rancho Valencia where we shot on the grounds of the resort!

The exterior shots on the grounds were lovely but the vibrant colors of the internal shots were so perfect for this polished family to create a more formal feel. 

Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of capturing these memories for your family!

{San Diego Family Photography ~ Mission Trails}

This is one of my very favorite families which I have have the pleasure of working with countless times over the years in different seasons of life.   

With each session I have done with this family I have loved it more and more and this location was perfect for them. 

When I initially scouted this location earlier in the year I knew I wanted to do this family here and I am so happy with how it all came together! Now the kids are professionals at this photo shoot stuff so I got lots of smiles and even adorable posing! 

I hope you enjoy these images as much as I do~ xoxo 

This guy was too much with he posing and sweet little grin!

When we shot these were her first steps she was timidly taking, now she is walking everywhere! 

Love this so much in black and white, may be one of my favorites ever of this lovely couple.

{San Diego Family Photography~ Balboa Park}

This shoot is one of those times when you just look back on how far you have come and say, I have to give God the credit for the blessings of being able to be a part of so many amazing families lives! 

Being able to do what I do never ever gets old and I do not take it for granted!! 

I have shot at Balboa Park countless times and for that I am extremely grateful for that! 

 People come from literally all over the world just to catch a glimpse of the beautiful architecture and landscapes that we here in San Diego can take advantage of all the time! 

This family is ending a chapter here in San Diego and so that is why this shoot is so special and therefore; the Iconic Balboa Park!

I love every bit of this session as Hayley is not only a dear friend but also extremely creative and talented in her own right so she was just amazing to work with and I have to say this was more her vision than mine with every detail of this shoot! 

She made my job so easy that I truly loved every second of this process and the final results speak for themselves! 

My hope is that this family will look upon these photos with fond memories and that their time in San Diego will be a chapter that is only the beginning 

of all the great things to come for them! 

~Enjoy~

Big Sister and Baby Brother! 

Love this one of mama and her beautiful babies!

This shot was very symbolic and I love how it turned out!

The photo on the right was taken on their wedding day 10 yrs ago; we recreated this shot for their Anniversary on the left! 

One of my favorites! Again Balboa Park is just full of beautiful little areas!

Love the joy and laughter in this shot for their 10 YEAR Anniversary! 

This was another shot at the very end of the night that Hayley had envisioned and I love how it came out!

{Carlsbad Family Photography~ Grand Pacific Palisades Resort}

~ My first family session of the new year!! Yay! ~ 

This session took place at the beautiful Grand Pacific Palisades Resort in Carlsbad with literally overlooks what will soon be the Carlsbad flower fields which will be bursting with color in just a few short months! 

I had the pleasure of capturing several generations of this Bi-Costal family some coming as far as Illinois. I felt the love from this wonderful family who reminded me of my home in Indiana and we had a lot of fun and laughs at this session. I am so grateful to have been able to be a part of your time here in San Diego and glad you will have these memories in the sunshine to hold you through the long Mid~Western winters! 

Enjoy~xoxo

These two were just precious! Love these shots of them and the love and laughter they express.

 Lovely couple, inside and out!

Final shots right at the end of the golden hour 

{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!
