Kiersten and AJ are extra special to me because I’ve been shooting them since AJ’s awesome proposal! I later shot their engagement session, and wedding and have absolutely loved getting to know these two and their family along the way. I was thrilled for this sweet couple when I found out that they were expecting and can’t wait to meet baby Teagan very soon!
Kiersten and AJ chose Vilano Beach for their maternity session and I met up with them before sunrise on a chilly but clear morning. I love how these two look in the warm sunrise glow, which also complimented Kiersten’s beautiful mama to be glow so perfectly. Also Kiersten is a total rock star for this! Not many people would meet me on the beach before sunrise and take off their clothes in 40 degree weather but she did amazing and I’d say it was worth it!
Read MoreWords can’t express how in love with these maternity photos that I am. Marissa let me do my thing and I wanted to create a really minimalist, feminine and etherial look. We shot on a nude backdrop with nude wardrobe to keep the images clean and draw all attention to Marissa and her beautiful bump.
I shot these with Kodak Portra 800 and Ilford Delta 3200 (my favorite b&w film ever) with mostly natural light plus a little fill. I absolutely love how the film came out, from the creamy tones of the Portra to the beautiful grain in the black and white Ilford images. You truly cannot beat film.
I want to do a million more portraits like this! I love when clients let me get creative and am thankful for Marissa trusting my vision. She looks absolutely radiant in these images!
Read MoreI put together some shots from my favorite weddings and shoots of 2019. It's been a beautiful year in so many way and I'm looking forward to seeing what the next decade brings.
Decade... now that's a powerful word. I started my business in 2009 and over the past decade I've been blessed to meet and photograph the most amazing people. Thank you all for being a part of my story and for trusting me to tell yours. I love and appreciate you all more than you will ever know!
I've been honored to capture many different kinds of love this year. From romantic love, to self love, to love for a new child... love is beautiful!
Here are just a few of my favorite memories...
