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

| 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!

Marine Corps Airstation Miramar | VMFA 225 | Military Homecomings


Smith Family

Clara contacted me last year in search of a Homecoming photographer and I am SO glad she did! It was a beautiful day waiting for her husband to arrive. He was coming home with VMFA 225; VMFA stands for Fixed-Wing Marine Fighter Attack so you can imagine there all pretty important people.

One of my favorite things about their homecoming is the special bond between Clara and another soon to be Military Spouse! I got to watch their friendship and excitement together.

As I said on my Facebook page: 

"I got to see the bond between friends made in the military. 
These two women are at different stages of their life but united in supporting their loved ones. 

Overall, I loved photographing my client's family, and seeing such raw emotion; but I equally loved watching these two friends interact through the anticipation of their Marines coming home. 

Do yourself a favor, hire a photographer! "


If you are in San Diego and your loved one is about to leave, has already left, will be coming home soon BOOK A PHOTOGRAPHER! If not me, then someone, please! You will not regret it at all.

To inquire about any ships, fly-ins, or even at The San Diego International Airport, contact me!
