Jerry and Julie wanted to freeze this moment in time: committed to each other and very (very) in love. It was oh-so-obvious how much Jerry adores his Julie, and how Julie totally comes alive when she's around him... it was the sweetest thing to capture! (Just...
The only way this shoot could ever get any better is with film... and it's oh-so-good! Back in December, Jeff and I hopped over to Maui while we were second-honeymooning on Kauai to photograph this #totesadorbs little family. But this isn't just ANY #totesadorbs...
I walked up to Jane like a seventh grade girl, like I had pig tails in my hair and a puffy paint binder, and asked, "Sooooo can we be friends??" Because it just HAD to happen. She lives on Maui, I live in San Diego, and we were at the end of speaking at a...
How sweet it is to have a sweet little Caroline come into the world! Michael and Jennifer are such wonderful people that we photographed four years ago when they had a beautiful wedding at the Immaculata church, and now they are brand new parents! I love...
This is Michael and Jennifer. They are the kindest, sweetest people you'll ever meet. And kind, sweet people happen to make really wonderful parents. These two are going to be AMAZING parents, which is why this session makes my heart so stinkin' FULL. Jeff and I...
We NEVER do this. I mean, like, ever. But you'll see in just one sweet second why I'm making an exception in the rule of blog law in Youngren-land. Jeff and I will photograph lovely baby, maternity, and family portraits for our past couples, but since it's not our...
Jeff and I photographed Chris and Sarah's wedding in downtown San Diego one year ago, and their First Look at the Horton Grand Hotel was one of those amazing First Looks where all of us burst into tears together! In fact, it still sticks in our hearts as a First...
We had Christina and Juan stand in the exact same place as they did two years ago on their wedding day. Christina showed us a photograph of them, smiling at the camera, holding each other tight in the gardens of the beautiful L'Auberge Del Mar. Their smiles were...
Oh my lovely! This shoot is so fabulous I can hardly STAND it! When Jeff and I were in Chicago for some wonderful shoots this fall, we wanted to take full advantage of the city that we love, so we hit up one of our fabulous past couples, Stefan and Morgan, to come...
Jon and Amy said 'I do' at a peaceful vineyard outside of Sacramento, CA, in 2012. They were college sweethearts from Harvard with giant futures in front of them. At the time, Amy told me that she had been nervous about marriage up until that point. She wasn't sure...
It's a great thing to work with couples that you can't pass up, and Josh and Corinne are the kind of people that I just can't say no to. We don't shoot newborn portraits or family portraits, but when it comes to our past wedding couples, we simply can't resist. I...
Every year, Jeff and I co-lead the For the Love Workshop, a deeply spiritual Christian retreat for photographers, and it took place earlier this month on a breathtaking ranch in Oregon. This retreat is a time for photographers to steal away to a beautiful place and...
