Although I focus a lot of my time and energy on weddings and engagements, there’s just something about kids and families that I can’t quite pull away from. I love hearing giggles as I direct mom and dad into a tickle fight, I love watching parents melt next to me as their kiddo gives me […]

In honor of this gorgeous mama-to-be surpassing her due date by a FULL WEEK, I wanted to get this amazing snowy Tahoe maternity session up on the blog! (It’ll give you something to read when you go into labor Amanda! lol) Amanda and I met at a bridal show in Berkeley in February. I know […]

It’s a tale as old as time… boy meets girl, girl captures boy in a web of Disney-infused romance, boy realizes he’s the prince to her princess, proposal, party, Party, PARTY! Molly and Matt are some of the sweetest and most genuine people I’ve ever met. I don’t think I ever saw Molly without a […]
