Had a great time capturing these images for the Klingebiel family! They had such great positive energy and were so photogenic!! 

A word to the future engaged, HIRE A PHOTOGRAPHER! Not only because I always want to be a spy, but because you'll always cherish that moment and you'll  not only have memories  but have beautiful images to cherish forever. 
I had the great opportunity to be apart of such a beautiful proposal in Balboa Park. The mother of the Bride-to-be contacted me and I was MORE than happy to be here for this moment! 
Sergio led Erika to believe that they were meeting friends for brunch when really he brought her to the Lily Pond next to the Botanical garden (where I waited) and popped the question! 
It was such a sweet and romantic moment Erika burst into tears immediately (which most women do) and from that moment on it was a celebration!
What made this day amazing was not only was it captured, but all their friends and family were there (hiding in the bushes) to witness this special moment as well.  They set up a cute picnic with food and cakes and champagne and decorations congratulating the two! Such a romanic setting!
Congratulations Erika and Sergio!! 

Congratulations Yoli and Albert! It was another beautiful day at Whispering Oaks! 
Yoli and Albert are the most gorgeous couple I've ever seen! Wishing them the best in their new beginning as husband and wife! 

Happy First Birthday Abigail! 
We celebrated by doing her smash cake session at Balboa Park! She had her Mommy, Grandma and Aunties all there to celebrate and they kept her smiling! It was a very fun but VERY messy session!! You could say she LOVED her first taste of cake!!

Mia was the perfect little model for her newborn session! So sweet and snuggly! Zoe was being such a good big sister during the entire session so we were able to get some great pictures of her also. I've enjoyed every minute of watching this family grow! 

Congratulations Ambre and Ryne! Their day consisted of a small ceremony at the courthouse followed by a fun night with friends and family!  Although they had a very small time to plan the wedding we were able to get some amazing shots at Steele Canyon Bridge!
I'm so glad they gave me creative freedom and allowed me to take the reins when it came to picking a portraits location. 
Wishing them many many years of love and happiness!!
