She has this subtle yet pervasive strength and confidence about her. The kind that’s very reassuring– like she knows how to tackle any situation that comes her way, with grace and humor no less. I suppose that’s one of the many reasons Jessica makes such a great teacher, and while I’ve not seen her in […]

Sara Truppo and I go way back…to the days of sleepless nights studying for Rhetoric exams, dreaming up ways to change the world, scheming business ideas and various photo shoots. We go together like peas and carrots, and it’s kind of rediculous how in sync we are. She’s one of my very best friends and […]

Last year, my friend Daryl invited me to join his bakery and other wedding industry professionals at a Crate & Barrel registry party at South Coast Plaza. It sounded like fun, so I situated a space for us at one of the spring events, and we set up shop in a fabulous living room vignette […]

When Alex & Travis jumped up from my sofa abruptly and said “shoot, we got to get to work”, I realized they were the perfect fit for me. We all lost track of time as we told stories (dramatically I might add), ate blueberrry scones, and sipped on orange infused water and before we knew […]

I’ll never forget one of the first times I hung out with Shea…Isaac and I met up with her and Heather at a Fresh & Easy to stock up on snacks and drinks for our outing to see Miss Siagon at Moonlight Ampitheatre. The three of them were dancing and singing through the aisles as […]

I’m at a loss for words. Shocker I know. But to try to sum up how much this wedding and this couple means to me seems like an impossible task. But alas, here I am in front of my computer at a cute little coffee shop in Seattle, thinking about my sweet friends Bre & […]

As we wound our way up the dirt road, oak trees inched by and fallen leaves crunched beneath the tires. The sky was the brightest of blue and there was a cool, crispness in the air…leftover from the morning, coastal fog I suppose. Upon our arrival to the beautiful reception hall at Spanish Oaks Ranch, […]

She is one of the most driven, compassionate and magnetic people I know. She puts 110% of herself into everything she does and I’m not just talking about time and energy…no, it’s much more than that. Jillian puts her heart and soul into the people, projects and tasks in front of her fully and completely […]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. There’s something so incredibly special about photographing my friends’ weddings. It affords me opportunity to spend the day with the bride and groom in a capacity that is so intimate, personal and quite fun. It’s truly and honor and really I wouldn’t have it any other […]
