I was absolutely floored. The moment the horizon came into view. And on my way to these Santa Barbara Grad Photos I got to enjoy the most stunning view. Santa Barbara couldn’t have given us a more perfect day to celebrate Madison and Jaylyn. I loved getting to spend a couple of hours just in […]

Visalia Family Photos at Dry Creek Preserve | Visalia Photographer | Gilles Family

It really is such a small world. Have you ever thought that? I thought a lot about it at these Visalia Family Photos. And that’s because I met Katie in college over 10 years ago. We once chatted and found out she was from a town near mine! A decade later I met my good […]

It must have been 2014 or 2015. And this young woman was in middle school. I knew her from my youth leadership team at my then-church. And she was such a fierce friend and leader! When she asked me to take her Monterey Grad Photos I was touched. This session is incredibly special to me. […]

A Magical Disneyland Proposal | Destination Engagement Photos | Disneyland Photographer | Corey & Joel

Let’s rewind a little bit. It’s sometime between 2012 and 2013. That’s still up for debate, they told me. And Rishma & Paul had been coworkers nearly a decade before that. Now they were rekindling their friendship and getting to know one another. And it would be another decade or so that I was meeting […]

Ko Olina Family Photos | Oahu Photographer | Chessie, Matt & Kaden at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa

Taylor Swift once wrote that time was curious. No compasses and no signs. She may have been writing about a love she once experienced. But I feel these lyrics tying me to this very moment. Last summer I met Chessie when we worked Genesis & Michael’s Clos La Chance wedding together. And now I get […]
