Photography tips and sessions
San Diego Maternity Photographer | Alicia and Dave | Balboa Park
So, this was one of the most dreamy sessions I've ever had. I mean look at her! She is gorgeous, elegant, definitely glowing, and happy from the inside out! This was a 30 minute mini session, but oh man, I had more than enough beautiful images in 20 minutes! They were...
San Diego Newborn Photographer | Baby Kiana | One Day Old
Oh my! I love Fresh48 hospital newborn sessions. There is just so much love all spilling out everywhere I can hardly keep myself from crying. It is really a miracle that babies grow inside mom's tummy for just 9 months, to have this beautiful perfect creation. Meet...

Letters to my son | Kai, 5 years old
Dear Kai, Today you are 5 years old. Big Five! Itโs hard to believe that five years have past since you came to this world. I still remember when you were a little baby, you would lay in your baby car seat, and while I pushed the stroller you would forever stare at...
San Diego Newborn Photographer | Baby Mason, 9 days old
Hi everyone! This is baby Mason, 9 days old. I was a bit carried away with his big brother's cuteness at the beginning, but don't worry you will see more of baby Mason later. ๐ This was one of the hottest day in San Diego, and we were all sweating - especially me,...

San Diego Maternity Photographer | Frahm Family | Coronado Yacht Club
Few weeks ago I got to photograph this beautiful mama-to-be for baby #2 and her family at the beautiful Coronado Yacht Club. She was actually one of the first portfolio model to photograph years ago when I started my business. Ever since, her and her family has been...
letters to my son | Hue, 7 years old
Dear Hue, Today, you are turning 7. Everyday I look at you, I am amazed how grown up and beautiful you've become. It is bitter sweet that you are becoming an independent boy who doesn't need his mom's help or hugs and kisses all the time. I am so proud of you for so...
San Diego Portrait Photographer | O’Berry Family | The Waldorf School 8th Grade Completion Ceremony
I got to photograph a 8th grade graduation ceremony for the Waldorf School of San Diego. It is a small school (graduating class of 17!) and I could feel the strong connections between teachers, parents and students all through the ceremony. Each student made a small...
