SHE SAID I MADE HER CRY…

…AND THAT MADE MY DAY!

IT MIGHT SEEM STRANGE BUT NOTHING MAKES ME HAPPIER THAN SENDING OFF A COLLECTION TO A CLIENT WHO THEN RESPONDS WITH SOMETHING LIKE “OMG I’M TOTALLY CRYING RIGHT NOW!”

I’ve been in the exact situation myself. We had our family photos, and couldn’t wait to see them. I get the link from our photographer and upon opening the gallery I find myself in tears looking at photos of my family together. These are the people I love more than anything in the world. To be IN the photos with them, and for the photos to capture our love and the fun we have together was so overwhelming in the best way possible that I was brought to tears. It’s probably the strongest reaction I could have, so when a client tells me they are crying and they love their images, I couldn’t be any happier.

Are you having fun at your family photo sessions? I've been making my family take professional photos since my kids were born- but the year we took these photos with @blairhartwelldesign was the first year we ALL had FUN. What changed? My mindset.

Fun kids + their own backyard + golden hour = my wildest dreams came true Who is going to make my dreams come true next? Slip n' slide into my DMs. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Welcome to our #SanDiegoLifestylePhotographyEditingLoop⁠⁠ .⁠⁠ We are a group of San Diego

Can we talk about pregnancy old wives' tales? What struck true for you? I had horrible heart burn and while I didn't have bald babies, I wouldn't say they had a crazy amount of hair to warrant all the heart burn I had going on. Ok, your turn! What cr

The last 12 months have been full of the unexpected, don’t you agree? I never would have guessed there would be so much uncertainty and change to every-day things I took for granted- like my kids going to school in person!⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ While life [es
