Taylor & Lissa | CBU Graduation Session

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.

Sea ya later, Charlie!

Forty-five minutes, three looks, one car used as a changing room, and three women who all had opinions about every single frame.

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.

Hotel del Coronado Family Photos | A Dream Years in the Making

Crystal and Sam love the Hotel del Coronado, and they had a longtime dream of bringing their three boys there on vacation. They waited patiently for the boys to be the right age and the hotel renovations to be complete, and this was finally the time!

It’s not every day the dad is the one who books the photo session, but that’s exactly how this one came about! These Texans from Austin were planning a California getaway and invited Lauren’s parents to join, since her mom had been “trying to get to California since the 7th grade.”
