Ten little fingers and ten little toes. You best believe I’m going to snap a few frames of those cute little newborn toes. They’re just so stinking precious! 1/3

This sweet girl has a custom mobile that her momma made for her! Clearly it works like a charm. 2/3

Hello, world. 3/3

I told myself I was done shooting weddings. It’s not that I don’t love them, I really do! But KEP is my side hustle and my full-time job has picked up in the last few years l and I didn’t feel like I was able to give my couples the time they deserved. But sometimes, a couple like this comes along and you bend the rules. Lou and Paige are one in a million. Their love is playful, grateful, and true. 1/3

Lou’s daughter, Alisha, is one of my besties. She, like Lou, has such a kind heart. When she mentioned that her dad and Paige were looking for a photographer for their intimate wedding, I couldn’t say no. I mean look at these two! Talk about true love. Fun fact: Alisha officiated Lou + Paige’s wedding! She also officiated my wedding! 2/3

Paige was heading to the airport to pick up Lou. He told her he’d call when he got his back and would walk to the curb. She told him curbside is for married people. Baggage claim is for lovers. Yup, I’d say they’re a couple of lovers. 3/3

Some serious @carlsbadvillage vibes right here. I’ve known Justin and Michael for years now and was so pumped when they asked me to take their Christmas card photo this year. They’re the stinking cutest.

Girlfriend stole the show this session. Such a good pupper!

Jason and I went to school together from elementary through high school! We hadn’t seen each other in over ten years until Sarah reaches out about booking a session. She casually slipped that Jason had done some modeling after high school for a bit. I’m just saying, I think Sarah’s giving him a run for his money on this one.
