A tailored suit. A gorgeous dress. Traditional and romantic engagements that are oh-so-classic.
A girl knows when she finds the One. At least, that was certainly the case the Stephanie. When she joined Nick for a family trip down to La Jolla one October, she fell in love with his family, his heart, and his smile. He made her laugh. He made her feel special....
The loveliness continues this wonderful morning with the second half of Andrew and Victoria's golden engagement session at UC San Diego. This smarty-pants yet down-to-earth couple are kind and fun right down to their core! From their adorable outfits to their...
When Andrew arrived to the bonfire where all of his friends from church were hanging out, his heart sank when he noticed Victoria had come with another guy. She was always a bright spot in his week - a ray of positivity that expanded his heart every time he saw her...
A classy black dress with a great pair of heels + a tailored look with a charming smile + a golden day at Balboa Park = two waaaaaaaaay too excited photographers squealing with glee in a public place. Mark and Heidi wanted a classic San Diego look with a polished...
Driven, ambitious, brilliant, and ultra-nerdy. That about sums up any med student. Add witty and sensitive, and you've got Mark. Then tack on gorgeous and confident, and there's a portrait of Heidi. So combine all of those wonderful words into one pool of...

Ryan and Jen like to awkwardly "close walk". It's the kind of walk when they have their arms around each other and their bodies are so close that they're awkwardly tripping over each other, but they refuse to pull apart because they like it that way. Jeff and I...
I *heart* Los Angeles and I turn into a giddy ball of energy shooting at places like the Griffith Observatory - especially with sweet and cute couples like Nate and Susan. We couldn't stop ourselves from running around and shooting everything we possibly could on...
Susan passed a note to Nate in 8th grade stating that she loved him. Nate returned Susan's note and said he didn't love her back - he loved a flute player instead. Their paths would not cross again until they left their small town in northwest Indiana to be...
Perfect locations like this only come along every so often, so when we get an amazing couple like Jimmy and Vivian, we immediately know where we have to shoot. The Torrey Pines Gliderport is one of those places that calms our hearts when we need to get away from it...
Welcome back to Part Two of Stefan and Ivette's classic engagement session at UCLA where Jeff and I felt like two-year-olds in a giant bounce house - too excited to be considered healthy. As you already know from Part One, Stefan and Ivette define gorgeous. In...
