Beautiful beach, beautiful people. Couldn’t really go wrong here!
San Diego Beach Photos of Cousins at Play
August 20, 2014
Turns out my kids are not the only ones who, when presented with a beautiful, sandy beach, completely forget about the camera and run headlong to the shoreline to get as wet as possible, as soon as possible. This lively bunch of cousins came all the way from Texas, and there was no stopping them when it came to the water! Of course, I was pretty much on board with that, since some of my favorite pictures are not of the posed variety, but more . . . frolicking. Don’t miss the seaweed jumprope! 
Rustic Wedding Photos at Hidden Oaks in Ramona
August 7, 2014
At first, I was like . . . WHERE ON EARTH AM I?? And then, I was like . . . THIS IS THE BEST WEDDING VENUE EVER!! Hidden Oaks Ranch in Ramona is definitely hidden, but it is well worth finding! Our nephew Ben and his bride Danielle (see also: proposal and engagement photos) tied the knot here on a beautiful July day, and Melanie Monroe Photography and I had a blast photographing the occasion. The rustic scenery was the perfect setting for lots of burlap, lots of lace, and a big red truck. Congratulations to Ben and Danielle!
Rylee & Lucy Diabetic Service Dog | San Diego Photos by Amy Gray
August 6, 2014
I was excited to meet a very special dog yesterday, when I photographed my friend Keri’s daughter Rylee and her new chocolate lab, Lucy. Rylee (11) was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in April. When I first met Rylee several years ago, she had just saved her mother’s life as a kindergartner who dialed 911 when Keri (also diabetic and pregnant, at the time, with Rylee’s little brother) had a dangerous low and was unresponsive. Now Rylee is dealing with the same disease, and her doctor suggested a diabetic service dog to alert Rylee and her family when lows are eminent – for both Rylee and Keri.
Since the training is very expensive, Rylee’s friends and family joined in with lots of fundraisers to foot the bill. There were hundreds of handmade dog-shaped cookies, Origami Owl necklaces, and a Chick-Fil-A fundraising night! Just last Friday, Lucy, a one-year-old chocolate lab, came home! All $13,000 have been raised, and Lucy is well on her way to being trained to detect lows for both Rylee and Keri. Keri & Rylee’s sweet thank you card to all their friends and donors reads, “To each of you who either sent a donation on our FundRazr page, bought our cookies, attended a fundraiser, bought a necklace, or gave us a donation ‘just because,’ we say THANK YOU! You have helped us more than you will ever know and we could not have done this without you and without God! Thank you for blessing us with this incredible gift and for believing with us that ‘God Will Make a Way!'”

Kissing Cousins | Extended Family Pictures with photographer Amy Gray
July 15, 2014
I’m always honored when other photographers choose me to preserve their own family memories. It was great to meet fellow Canon-shooter Sara and her whole extended family at the Del a few weeks ago. She even let me borrow a lens out of her bag! Her little niece +1’d my run of confident little model-type five-year-old girls. She had so many poses, I could hardly keep up!
Baby Gage Newborn Photography Session in San Diego by Amy Gray
July 9, 2014
Remember this amazing momma and her little guy’s super-fast entry into the world? Well, here is little Gage, age one week. It was wonderful to see Kristi and family again. Gage is a little sweetheart and did such a great job of sleeping for us! 
Gage William Birth Photography| Amy Gray
July 1, 2014
Oh, how I LOVE birth photography! What an experience, each time, to see a brand new little person welcomed into the grateful arms of his parents. Each birth experience is different, and this was my absolute shortest birth story to date! Kristi let me know she was in labor at 7:42pm. I left for the hospital at 8:11pm, and when I got there just before 9:00, she was already pushing! Little Gage William was born naturally at 9:27, without any pain medicine. Kristi is AMAZING. Wow. (Baby is super sweet and cute, too! Just wait till you see the newborn photos!) 
Ryan + Pam | Coronado Sailing Wedding
June 28, 2014
What a joy to watch these two get married! It was an international affair, with lots of guests flying in from Thailand, and with Thai elements incorporated into the ceremony. Ryan’s love of sailing also played a key role in the decor and colors, and we created their bridal images right on a sailboat in San Diego Bay with San Diego Sailing Tours. Perfection!

San Diego Birth Photos Presenting Preston! | Amy Gray Photography
June 13, 2014
IT’S A BOY!! My favorite image from this birth story is actually not of the baby at all, but of his bigger-than-life, red-headed brother, who had been kept in suspense about the baby’s sex just like the rest of us. Definitely click here to see Brandon find out he has a BROTHER! I’m not a videographer, so the focus is questionable, but the emotion is all there. Brandon was ONE HAPPY DUDE.
