There aren’t enough words to describe the MAGIC that is these two, but I can try!
Their love is palpable. It’s made out of lipstick kisses, boy mama madness, a sweet goofiness that only two people who spend lots of time being silly together can share and one of the most intense bonds I have ever had the privilege of witnessing. This pair is love.
Suspenders and a bowtie Win. Every. Time.
I just love this family. I have known Lindsey since high school and because we have so many mutual friends, our paths have always intertwined. Throughout the years I have grown to know Lindsey as a loving wife, a fun and devoted mother and an inspiring person.
Our lives collided once again when both of our families were struck with brain cancer months apart. The horror of Shaun’s diagnosis and then mine, eight months later was uncanny considering how rare this disease is and how tightly knit our community is. When I was first diagnosed, my mind went straight to the Reitan family. Lindsey reached out to me shortly after and I knew when we both were ready, we would be able to learn so much from each other’s journeys. And we have. Even if just for just a brief conversation, I know that we can talk to each other and that whatever she’s feeling, I get. And whatever I’m feeling, she gets. Our different perspectives as a spouse and the person with the illness, not only help to see things that inspire change in me, but to also feel not so alone or missunderstood. When you travel the same road, your paths will always intertwine again. Sometimes in the most unlikely ways.
Reitan family, you all are beautiful. Watching you interact was so much fun! You can really feel the love, closeness and silliness in this family of SIX. It was an honor capturing your love and SO much fun! Enjoy the photos! Xo

I’m so excited to share Ashley and Taylor’s session! Not only was it one of my first shoots back, it was also one of my all-time faves. The best part about what I get to do is to capture the happiest times in my client’s lives. Last weekend with these two reminded me once again why I do what I do. It brings me more joy than anything to give the lovely people I meet their most special moments captured in time. Ashley and Taylor’s happiness and excitement radiated with an abundance of love.
I’m so happy for the both of you! You are about to experience the best of what life offers! A journey worth every sacrifice. A love that knows no measure. Enjoy the ride!
Years before she met her groom, she met her wedding dress. And bought it on the spot. And a year before they were engaged, they heard a band playing in the Gaslamp quarter while out in San Diego, and she made a mental note to have them play at their future wedding. And a month after he proposed she found that same band, after much research, and booked them on the spot. Alyssa is my kinda girl. Thorough, diligent, a planner and most importantly, a true romantic. In John, she’s found the man she no doubt envisioned long before he became her reality and in her, he’s found his perfect match. You see it in his eyes the way he looks at her as she’s talking, or making plans and he ever so sweetly gazes at her with a big smile on his face. They have each found the one they were looking for.
John is from Laguna Beach and so on a Summer day, we traveled along the coast and captured these two and their love. From the characteristic Laguna streets to the gorgeous surf and sand, this engagement session is what So Cal dreams are made of.
I can’t wait for their September wedding at The Villa in San Juan Capistrano! I know it will be a spectacular day and the start of a beautiful forever.
Enjoy, XO
