Engagement sessions are always so sweet to photograph, but they’re extra sweet when they’re friends of your family. Faith and Justin met at church (the same church my parents and one of my brothers go to!), and after their first date, they quickly fell in love. They told me their first date lasted for hours […]

There must be something in the valley air because so many engagements have been happening! I love it. Dani and Easton go to my church here in Bakersfield, and after church one Sunday, Easton approached me about photographing his proposal to Dani. There’s nothing quite as sweet as the ear to ear grin of a […]

It was an honor to be able to third shoot with Jenn Lappe Photography a while back. I’ve been dying to share these images!! Every detail was thought out and intentional. From the abundance of flowers to the intricacies of the Immaculata Church, I was in love. While I mostly shoot in Bakersfield, CA, going […]

Ah, the first session of fall! In Bakersfield, even when fall is here, it doesn’t guarantee cold weather quite yet. To beat the heat while still seeking those dreamy sun rays, Audrey and Juan opted for a sunrise shoot for their engagement photos. In the cool of the morning, alone in Hart Park, we enjoyed […]

Glitz and glamour have nothing on Marissa and Mason’s luxury Kern County Museum wedding. From the Badgley Mischka heels (my fav!) to the sparkler exit, they had every detail perfectly in place. It really is the details that make a wedding special. On April 23rd, I got to witness vows being said, kisses being shared, […]

Pismo beach, a setting sun, family and friends gathered together–all the perfect things needed for a surprise proposal. Seeing the look on Michelle’s face as she descended the stairs down to the beach was absolutely priceless. She first met one of her best friends halfway down the staircase where she was greeted with flowers and […]

A perfect sunrise rising above Hart Park was ready for Marissa and Mason as they arrived for their engagement session early Sunday morning. With their wedding getting closer, anticipation for this session was definitely high. I was so excited to get to know them more during our shoot. Marissa and Mason are so comfortable with […]

A path of rose petals, a sunset, “A Thousand Years” by Christina Perri ringing through the breeze–the perfect setting for a surprise proposal. On their 7th anniversary, Matt caught his girlfriend, Sarah Taylor, totally by surprise. While she thought she was being surprised with a concert, he was really bringing her to Frontier High School […]

Oh, boy, am I excited to share this blog post with you! These bridal portraits have the dreamiest, most romantic feel to them, and I am in LOVE with the way they came out. It was hard not to oo and ah the whole session while I was clicking away. Every shot felt like magic, […]

I can’t wait for you to read about their truly fairytale, princess-like engagement. Seriously, we had everything from slow dancing to woodland animals! The temperature […]
