Claire | San Diego Senior Photographer

It is hard to believe that the little girl I used to babysit is no longer a child but a beautiful young lady. She is still the bright and beautiful girl that she was back then...

Giveaway | Fallbrook Childrens Photographer

While out running errands yesterday, it seemed like everyone was giving something to me...went to the hardware store and they gave me a bunch of "scrap" wood and left over rope...went to the pool supply store with expired coupons and with out even asking the store manager honored all of them...ran to get a coffee inside the store and they gave it to me for free.

I was just so overwhelmed by everyones kindness yesterday and feel as though I need to do my part in spreading it too :)

Who is up for a free session?! Last time I gave away a mini session, this time I am giving away a full session ($200 value)!! Yes, that is right a full 1-2 hour on location session in Fallbrook that can be just for your kids or for your whole beautiful family (up to 6).

Temecula Berry Company | Temecula Photographer

We started off our first official day of summer break at the Temecula Berry Co.! It was our first time there and we could not have asked for a better experience. We spent the morning filling our buckets up with blueberries and occasionally we would catch the kids snacking along the way :)

If you are looking for something to do with your kids or as a family this would be the place to go!

The beautiful M family | Fallbrook Maternity Photographer & San Luis Obispo Newborn Photographer

I really can not believe how far behind I am on blogging...I am quite embarrassed really :) To be honest it is not my favorite thing to do but I love sharing images from my sessions!

This beautiful couple came all the way down to Fallbrook for their maternity session and I went to San Luis Obispo for their little guys newborn photos. I had never been there and I can not wait to go back! The drive there is so beautiful...once you get out of L.A.! I am looking forward to some summer sessions up there!

For their maternity photos they said they were up for anything...and they were! We went on a beautiful hike and trekked through freezing water. It was all worth it...it is a new favorite spot of mine.

When I got the call that baby Eli was finally here I was so excited and a little nervous. You see, I don't like driving and I have never driven past L.A. before. Ask any of my friends...I will do anything to get out of driving. Well I faced my fears and I packed up my little Leyla, picked up my dear friend Mandy and we headed out on our adventure! The drive was a breeze and I look forward to many more road trips...I have been missing out :)

Baby Eli could not have been more perfect at just over 3 weeks old! I had been dreaming about photographing a newborn on the beach for some time and when his momma took me to the beach near their home I knew it was the perfect spot!

Meet baby Eli..

Big city big dreams | Orange County Chidrens Photographer

Meet my little cousin, she is only 15 years old and is super talented. She has only been in the LA area for a short time now and has been in a number of commercials and was in the Justin Bieber "U Smile" music video. Every girls dream right...I think Leyla would faint!

We are so proud of you Cassidy and look forward to seeing all that you accomplish!!
