Rachel is a patriotic girl, and she and her mom requested some American flag photos as part of her gallery. They traveled for her senior session at Crystal Pier, and it was especially important to them as her great-grandmother was ailing and had sent them on a mission to go and get these photos done. Congratulations on your graduation, Rachel, and happy Fourth of July!
I really love shooting at the University of San Diego, and having a beautiful model like Kenni makes it even more fun! We started early and got some architectural campus photos before heading down to the beach for iconic San Diego shoreline images.
I had so much fun with this lovely family, who came from West Texas for a family vacation. They live just a few blocks from my uncle and aunt in
Ashley and Michelle are excited to be graduating from the University of San Diego with their Master’s degrees in the counseling and psychology field. They brought their significant others along to help celebrate their accomplishments.
Avery is headed off to Luther College this fall after enjoying a very successful career at Valhalla High School, where she was a celebrated flautist and drum major in the marching band. We took a grand tour of San Diego for her photos and appreciated both of my favorite beaches (Coronado and Pacific Beach at Crystal Pier) since Avery will be missing the coast while she’s away. She’ll also be missing her little dog, so we got some pictures of him, too!
My daughter Lissa and her boyfriend Taylor are home from school for the summer, and we headed down to Little Italy to capture some fun dating photos in my favorite urban location. These two have known each other since they were FOUR and have gone to preschool, elementary school, middle school, and high school together. This last year as sophomores at Cal Baptist, they leveled up their friendship.
Shelby brought her crew all the way from Wisconsin to the Del to celebrate two birthdays: her own and baby Kishke’s! I was immediately impressed by her children’s joyful, obedient spirits. All four of them were ready to do exactly what I asked—with enthusiasm!—and none of these little ones had any problem with going in the water. In fact, they couldn’t get enough of it and were drenched to the waist by the end of the session. My favorite was when they asked their mom, at the end, “Can we do this tomorrow?” I’m up for it!
My grandfather was a cabinet-maker, and I have memories of visiting San Diego Hardware in Downtown San Diego as a small child, when I was “helping” him with his projects. A long time passed, and then, just a few years ago when I was redoing my kitchen, designer Joy Elben sent me to the new store in Kearny Mesa to check out pulls for my cabinets. I knew right where to go when Heather, the owner, called for company headshots at the store.
San Diego Hardware is the oldest family-owned business in San Diego, with unmatched hardware expertise and one-on-one customer service. In March of 2006, after 114 years of business downtown, San Diego Hardware relocated to its new store in the Kearny Mesa area of San Diego. Heather called me for headshots of the staff, including adorable mascot pup Coconut!
Evanna, Atalia, and Erleen have been friends since elementary school, and their senior session on Coronado was a celebration involving all three families! We captured three outfits per senior, grabbed some shots with moms and dads, got our toes wet on the shore while enjoying the sunset, and ended the session with some colorful shots by the surfboards. These sweet and beautiful girls are headed to SDSU and UC Santa Barbara, and their parents have reason to be very proud. Congrats to all!
Ashlyn is graduating from high school this year, and her whole family jumped in for a combination senior portraits/family session. If you’ve ever wondered if it’s okay to do both types of sessions at once . . . YES! It is! I love capturing the interactions between family members, along with getting lots of shots (even different outfits!) of the featured senior. When we’re launching our 18-year-olds into life, the whole family deserves to be celebrated!
Linett’s family is getting ready for her husband’s upcoming deployment, and they wanted to capture the life they’ve built together in the last few years in San Diego. They’ve recently welcomed a new baby girl to their beautiful home overlooking the city, where they care for their two sweet pups, four cats, and a couple of chickens. Theirs is a home brimming with life and love—the perfect place to start their family.
Kelly’s family came to San Diego on vacation, celebrating a tenth anniversary for Mom and Dad and spring break for the boys! These sports-loving boys are into basketball, baseball, and football. The oldest enjoys video games and the little one watches Ninja Turtles and Battle Bots. We had a gorgeous sunny day to work with, and we made the most of it!
