I love my clients. Literally love them. Liv and Lev are some of the most fun loving people I’ve ever met and they were sooooooo easy to photograph! Liv just laughed the entire time and that made me utterly happy 
I love being able to photograph people that are crazy in love with each other!! Here is one of my favourites from today! Notice the fall leaves? Autumn is in December in New Orleans. I kid you not. More to come
I was SO excited to photograph this wedding! Not only because it was going to be my very first wedding in California (Culver City to be exact!) but I was finally going to get to meet Mike and Kellee in person after chatting on the phone and emailing back and forth for months and months. They are some of the coolest and most down to earth people I’ve ever met, and their wedding at the Marrakesh House was absolutely stunning. Seriously, any place that has light strings in the backyard is super awesome in my book 
Here is a tiny sneak peek!
Nate and Jess got married yesterday afternoon in City Park at the beautiful Garden Study Center and everything about their wedding was perfect. I felt honored to not only have been their photographer, but to have become their friend as well. I love you guys!
Okie. I really want to thank all of the wonderful blogs that have been kind enough to feature my photography on their sites! Seriously, it means so much to me to see my pictures alongside some of the wedding photographers that I literally worship. So thank you guys for making me the happiest little girl in the entire universe
The first feature was Erika and Chris’s wedding which was posted on the Intimate Weddings Blog! Seriously if you guys are planning a tiny wedding their site is WONDERFUL for inspiration!
Oh I LOVE Inspired By This. Seriously. They featured the button bouquet and cake from Elizabet and Oz’s wedding on a post they did about wedding buttons! Check out the feature here and their entire awesome site here!

Again, a huge thank to all of you guys You’re all so wonderfully awesome!!! Stay tuned tomorrow for photographs from an elopement session I did in Audubon Park back in July Seriously, the light is beautiful, and my couple was even more so. I <3 you guys
I had never been to San Francisco before this past weekend. So, when Aaron and Melinda emailed me about going to do their engagement pictures, I of course had to go! And oh my, it’s SO beautiful there! I’m crazy in love with the weather and the fantastically cool architecture. But honestly, the best part of my job is the wonderful and fun people that I get to meet and hang out with. Aaron and Melinda (and their doggie!) are AMAZING! We drove all around San Francisco through Russian Hill, The Mission, and down to this tiny little beach by the Marina (where you can see the Golden Gate Bridge!). They were so much fun and got so into the session and had a million amazing ideas for shoots (since I had no idea where anything is). But seriously, I love them and I feel so happy to have meet such fantastically cool people More to come!!
