San Diego Senior Photos | Olive’s Journey from Stage to Shore
My dear friend Melissa and I have known each other since we were in a college singing group together back in the 90s, and her daughter Olive is like her in so many ways.

Melissa reached out to book a grad session for her daughter Devin, who’s finishing up at the University of San Diego. Devin’s been chasing this dream for nearly two decades, and one location wasn’t going to cut it.

Sherri booked a last-minute San Diego trip and wanted to get her four kids on the beach before they grew another inch. This ended up being one of my favorite sessions of the year.

Tev and Marshall brought their crew all the way from Oklahoma for a Spring Break getaway at Hotel del Coronado — and we ended the trip with a sunset beach session that was absolute perfection.

Taylor and Lissa have known each other since they were four years old, and if you spend even five minutes with them, you can tell. There’s an ease between them, a shorthand, the kind of connection that only comes from growing up alongside someone — and then, somewhere along the way, falling for them too. They’ve been dating since their sophomore year, and now here they are, crossing the graduation finish line together.

Forty-five minutes, three looks, one car used as a changing room, and three women who all had opinions about every single frame. But we walked away with a set of headshots that actually shows what Lissa can do — and that’s the whole point. She needs casting directors to see her range before she even walks in the room, and now she’s got the shots to do that.

Coronado Island has a way of holding on to family stories. For Melissa’s family, this beach already carried a sweet memory: the last time they were here, she was expecting their daughter. Coming back with two beach-loving kids made this visit extra meaningful.

The C family vacations in San Diego every year in the same beach house right on the ocean . . . but this year was different! Cori and her husband welcomed the very first grandchild, and little Camille is the undeniable star of the show!

I was honored that Susan, a fellow photographer, contacted me for a very important session for her family. It was her dad’s dream to do a once-in-a-lifetime trip with the entire family—something they weren’t able to do growing up—and to create memories the grandkids would remember forever.

Pat and Kristina are San Diego locals who decided it was time for a family portrait session after welcoming their third child, Stella. Kristina wanted beautiful photos of all three kids and the family together, and the complete family shot ended up being her favorite.

When families come back year after year, it’s one of the greatest compliments I can receive. This favorite family has been trusting me with their memories since 2016, back when their oldest was just a toddler.
