San Diego stole my heart. If only it wasn’t forever away and the average house is 1.6 million.. The cool breeze with the hint of salt in the air was something I never expected. I knew San Diego had a mild climate but it was basically what I’d call the heaven of weather. The lack […]

I got home Friday from a BEAUTIFUL and relaxing week in Palm Desert, California. The week was spent sipping cocktails poolside & I have a crispy nose and shoulders to prove it. We didn’t do a whole lot besides relaxing but Michael and I did decide to go for a hike to Indian Canyon Trails. […]

I stalked the weather as I always do prior to a shoot. 80% chance of thunderstorms but I was certain the weather would work for us & it did. How do meteorologists get paid for being wrong all the time?! Elise & Isaiah met in college her sophomore year. They currently live in Dubuque in […]

Returning clients end up feeling like old friends getting together and catching up more than they do work. I photographed their first son and momma on a warm may evening. That session still is one of my favorites. You can see it HERE. Couple years later, another darling boy, and a trip to Wisconsin to […]
