RODRIGUEZ FAMILY SESSION | PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY

This family has a very special place in my heart for many, many reasons. I grew up with Michelle, Lauren and Aaron. Our parents hung out all of the time when we were babies until we grew older. I have tons of memories from when we were little. They stuck around through the hard times and were always available to hang out anytime! From swimming at their grandparents, to beach days, to the many sleep overs listening to Savage Garden and their dad scaring the crap out of us through the sliding glass window, to playing on their playset in their backyard, and to watching movies at the theatre. I wish I could go back to the simple days!

It was very special to document a little portion of their life. A beautiful mother's day present and a spontaneous engagement! Very happy to know them!

AMY & EPHRAIM | MALAGA COVE ENGAGEMENT SESSION

Amy & Ephraim are two of the most genuine people I've met. We met when I first entered high school and attended the same church. It's so awesome to see how far they have come! I'm incredibly excited for them and for the rest of the journey that follows!

AUBREY'S 1 YEAR SESSION

Aubrey is the cutest and sweetest little girl! It was a joy meeting fresh faces this weekend! :)

JP TURNS ONE

Had a great time meeting up with my friend Colleen last week to take photos of her baby boy. It's hard to believe it's been a year since we met to photograph JP at 1 month old! He's the cutest and his birthday is actually today! So Happy Birthday JP! :)

The Lopers | Lifestyle Family Session

These amazing friends have always inspired me and have pushed me a little further to do what I love. Crazy to think my very first blog post was of them! :') I have so many memories with them. From being apart of the youth group with Nate and the students, to the days kicking back and hanging out with Hattie and the kids, to big adventures like London and small ones like the Science Center. I'm very sad to see them leave California, but i'm also very excited for them to start a new journey out in Arizona to meet new people and change more lives. Hoping to visit them often and soon! Here's just a few of my personal favorites from last weekend. :)

THE GATDULA FAMILY | FALL 2013

This is the Gatdula family! I met the Gatdula's when I was in high school. I would attend church with them every good once in a while with one of my best friends Christa. Through retreats to all nighters, I've made some awesome memories with them when I was a teenager. I hadn't seen them in a while, so it was really nice to see everyone all together again and to meet their newest family member Natalia. :) 

This is just a small preview of the goodness that was captured. There were many blue steel moments and laughter, lots of laughter. 

Happy weekending!
