| Poppy Fields | 2019 Super Bloom | Walker Canyon | Lake Elsinore, CA |

My lovely friend and fellow photographer, Kelsey Bieler, invited me to the super bloom! She had gone just weeks prior before all the tourists started coming. By the time we got to make the trip, most of the poppies had died out or were trampled... It was sad to see but we rocked it by taking self-portraits! Here are some of mine. 

Here are some images I was able to capture of Kelsey and her little man! 

On our way home, we also stopped and saw this AMAZING boulder location! We stopped for some more photos. 

And of course... there was a full rainbow around the sun! We had to stop for a 3rd time to document this with our rainbow babes. 

I hope you enjoyed our day trip to the poopies!

National Rainbow Baby Day - August 22

Rainbow Baby Day is TODAY! 

In honor of today; I wanted to share images recently taken by my dear friends and colleagues. 

As you may already know or are soon to know, last year my family suffered a loss of our son, Giovanni, and are currently expecting our Rainbow. Pictured below at 35 weeks gestation. 

I am blessed that here in San Diego I am apart of MULTIPLE photography groups where Community Over Competition is very important. I was blessed to team up with an amazing woman, Monique Hoppe, who has various gowns and we put on a free shootout for our Photography Community. 

The gowns provided are from Chicaboo and Ana Brandt.

The first gown skirt is called The Promise Gown by Chicaboo. The under dress is also by Chicaboo and called Sienna in Lavender.

The second gown shown is by Ana Brandt - The Lindsy Rainbow Dress.

Here are the results of many amazing Photographers gathering together and adding their own style to their images:
