The Pearl | Marissa + Eddie

Thursday, January 26, 2012 Posted in Photography

There are tons of nice people in this world. Sweet and extraordinary people. People who are genuinely fun to be around and put a smile on your face every time you simply hear their name. Marissa is one of those people. I swear I am not even exaggerating. Anyone that knows her can attest to this. She is fun, funny, sweet, kind, quarky, and one of the best people I know. She’s also an extraordinary photographer, a wife, and recently left us all in San Diego and moved to Hawaii. If I didn’t adore her so much I may just be mad at her for a really long time.

Marissa and Eddie have been married for awhile and recently (semi-recently) celebrated their five year anniversary, so she asked for pictures to celebrate and document this amazing time in their lives. Our other good friend, Katie and I were extremely honored to photograph Marissa and Eddie at The Pearl this past December.

Marissa and Eddie! Can you two be any more in love, funny, crazy, smiley… you guys melt my heart and make me smile! Thank you so much for being a friend, Marissa! I will miss our lunches, our talkes, our laughs together. Please come back soon!

Congratulations on your new adventure together!

And a huge thank you to The Pearl, the staff, and Kimberly at The Pearl! Much love!

Puerto Rico

Friday, November 18, 2011 Posted in Photography

I’m writing or more like texting this blog from my phone and I’ve had to delete several times because I can’t seem to use my two thumbs correctly.
I’m sitting in my hotel room, air conditioning on high at 7 in the morning. For you Californians, that’s 3 am for y’all. It’s hot here in Puerto Rico, even at this early hour.
As I sit here I’m thinking about the wedding I’ll be shooting today, hoping it doesn’t rain, and appreciating the opportunity to be on this beautiful island.
This is my last wedding of the year and I am overwhelmed with gratitude for this past year. I’ve certainly struggled at times but I wouldn’t change a thing. I’ve learned to take the ~~good~~ great with the ~~bad~~ not so great.
And this… this is some of the great…

San Diego Photographer | Maya

Tuesday, August 16, 2011 Posted in Photography

She contacted me from Sisseton-Wahpeton Dakota reservation in South Dakota where she was living and teaching. A family friend that we both have in common thought she may like my work and recommended that she give me a call. Some may say she contacted me under happier times… but looking at her now, I’d say she’s happier now than ever before.

Maya is a gorgeous young woman-inside and out. She’s brave and wise beyond her years. Through it all she kept her head held high and a big, beautiful smile on her face. It was a day designed to make her feel beautiful, but instead, she showed me what beauty is and how to handle what life may throw your way.

Maya, I am so grateful to have met you. You showed me what beauty and grace looks like in times of hardship and change. I know that you are going to take this chance and live… live the way you know will help others. Thank you for initially contacting me and believing in me enough to be a part of your day.

Huge thank you to Amy Clarke for doing Maya’s make up and Dianna for Maya’s hair. Huge thank you to Logan for shooting with me!

Jessica Rey Swimwear | It doesn’t have to be itsy bitsy

Tuesday, December 28, 2010 Posted in Photography

Jessica Rey, formally known as White Tiger Wild Force Ranger, has designed a new line of modest, vintage swimsuits to fit the modern gal. Last month Logan Cole & Kirstin Rogers invited me to shoot Rey’s new line with them and we all had an amazing time!

Gorgeous models, fabulous hair & make up, and freezing temperatures… that just spells FUN right there!

Thank you Jessica for creating such a fabulous line of swimwear that everyone can wear! A HUGE thank you to Logan & Kristin… you two are beyond amazing. The true dream team!
