Babies: Alonto and Desiree

They are expecting! I have known Alonto and Desiree since before they even knew each other and watching their love blossom has truly been amazing. They are due in 6 weeks and couldn't be more excited. They were a really cute couple to shoot, congrats to you Al and Des!!

Photo Shoot: Natsu and her Mom

This shoot is of Natsu and her mom while her mom was visiting from Japan! They don't see each other very often but are very close, so we figured a photo shoot would be a great, fun, personal way to really celebrate their relationship before her mom flew back home. We spent some time down in Balboa Park on a thursday and just had a lot of fun. :)

Throwback: Aurelia Michael

I did this shoot almost 5 years ago (wow, where did the time go?!) and it still remains to be one of my favorites. Sure, my equipment and level of experience have since upgraded, but spending that afternoon shooting this amazing artist still makes these photos among my top faves. A friend once told me (so true) that the camera doesn't make the photo, the photographer *and subject* make the photo. So, introducing, Aurelia Michael. Once of the most badass dancers I've ever some across!
