I had the pleasure and honor spending a day with this authentic, beautiful family who I have also photographed here and here.

Thank you for letting me witness and document your joy and love.

I’ve decided to do a weekly picture postcard series to get me energized and mindful about sharing some of the wonderful things I have in my life. I hope it encourages you to slow down and appreciate the simple things too. A little bit of “I am thankful…” all year ’round (thanks to Maliea’s wonderful preschool teacher, Monica Donaldson, for reminding me to think about what we are thankful for).

I am so honored to have my series of images “Merrik-Surfside” selected as winners to be published in Photobook Cali. Wow. So many beautiful photographs of California and it’s people were chosen. I am in love with all the other photographer’s work and I am still a bit in shock to see my work alongside all these other fantastic photographs. I can’t wait until the book comes out and if you comment here, I will let you know where and when to get it!!

A beautiful bride, a handsome groom, a special day. Congratulations Rayhaneh and Mike. You are the perfect blend of chic and easygoing. I so enjoyed being there to witness and document your fabulous celebration of love.
