Prepare for serious daddy & me overload this weekend because guys! Father's day is the B E S T! It's true what they say about your dad being your very first hero. I think, even as a grownup, there's really nobody that seems stronger or more invincible than good ole' dad (dad jokes & high socks included) What are you guys doing to celebrate your favorite men this weekend?

YAY for Bachelor(ette) Tuesday (which is like Bachelor Monday for those of us who are lame and only have hulu!) Is it weird that love is my #1 hobby? Like I photograph love for a living & watch the bachelor *almost* religiously because -- even though it's reality tv and the method is slightly questionable-- it's nice to see so many people who still believe in love as much as I do.

The land of the f r e e because of the b r a v e. A huge thank-you to all of the men and women who sacrifice everything for this great nation. We are strong because of you!

O N E super sweet & happy girl had a birthday! Thanks so much Stephanie Roberts & Josh for having the cutest family ever!

Happiest WEDDING DAY to the cutest lovebirds ever! Today is just the start of what will be the most beautiful adventure and I am positive that there couldn't be anyone more ready and more in love than the two of you! Here's to a perfect day & a lifetime full of love and happiness and changing the world. Congratulations Mr. & Mrs.! Amanda Shiman

Every time I leave a wedding I want to have 9 more kids, I swear. There's just something that makes me tear up a little about watching siblings show up, stand up & get a little emotional for each other. I love being able to capture every second of your day (and I love even more when the matron of honor is amazing and orchestrates beautiful moments like this one!) P.S. You're going to see a million more photos from this wedding because, basically, it was full of the cutest moments...so get ready to cry a little and smile a lot and see all the joy and adorable details that was this perfect day.

Love seeing how many awesome parents there are in the world! This boy is just showered with love!

I'm such a sucker for a cute set of siblings, a good candid and the little "pop" of blue from those flowers! All the heart eyes over here ..can't wait to share the rest of this session!

Exciting things are happening for us! (but please excuse our messy website in the process-- everything is getting a facelift) thank you so much to the talented Brit Casady for helping us find a brand and capturing everything better than we ever could. And thank you to Matt Casady for all of the web help. I can't recommend either of them enough. I lucked into the best friends ever.

Sneak peek! This has been a busy year for me & I wouldn't have it any other way. So grateful to have photographed this adorable engagement session at Aliso Beach!

I'm just in love with nontraditional little details-- the best thing ever is seeing how literally every single wedding I photograph is so different and yet, celebrating the very same thing. Your love story is yours and I love that!

Yes, I still cry a little during every first dance.

& when you find a love like this never let go.

Someone is ready to hit that dance floor!
