San Diego— I’m comin’ for ya! February 28 thru March 7. ☀️ I have space for two more sessions! I’m so excited to see everyone— including these cuties and their brand new baby sister who will make her debut just in time for me to photograph her 💞 ☀️ DM me to reserve your spot! 🤩
I inadvertently went MIA around here thanks to sickness, meetings, doctors appointments and werrrk 🤪🤦🏻‍♀️ But I’m back! And super excited for the week! I’ve added two amazing couples to the 2019 schedule AND I’ve got an awesome little photographer retreat to attend this weekend! Stoked is an understatement 🤩🙌🏻🥰 What’s got you excited this week??
Oh, hey. Don’t mind me. Just over here trying to run a business, be super mom to a special-needs kiddo and a fully present, loving wife— all while taking care of myself mentally and physically. So yeah, basically my stress-o-meter is at level ‘danger’. 🤪 If I was a drinker, I’d just take a bottle of wine to the head and pass out, but instead I’m your typical over-thinker imagining all the horrible things people will say and think if I fail at anything. 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ Not sure why I’m posting a picture of shoes, but why not. They’re sparkly and clean, something I wish my house was right now 🤣😭👏🏻 Happy Monday, y’all! Anyone else staring at the rest of the week with eyes like this?? 😳😳😳
A wedding photographer’s version of #facetofacefriday 🥰
I’m looking to add some new ribbon (and other items?!) to my wedding styling kit! Any vendors that you love?? Help me out, photog friends! Tag your favorites here! 💞🥰💫
Now booking San Diego sessions Feb. 28 - Mar. 5 🥰☀️🏝 I can’t wait to see so many familiar faces! I started my business in San Diego— my HOMETOWN— and shooting there always brings me so much JOY!! ✨ Limited Availability ✨ DM me ASAP ✨
Beach wedding onlookers complete with binoculars 🤩 ✨ I don’t know why but I always love getting a peek at (and subsequent snap of) admirers during outdoor weddings. These balcony looky-loos are a summer staple at @oceansedgenc 💞🥰💫
Happy Saturday from my boy and me! ✨ Atticus said he “Googled” himself the other day at school but could only find things about #atticusfinch and #tokillamockingbird — and so he decided to start using Finch as his new last name. I thought he was kidding until I heard him doing a fake YouTube video this afternoon and his intro was, “Hey guys! It’s your boy, Atticus Finch. What’s up!?” 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ He sure makes life interesting 🥰💞💫
⚠️❤️WARNING❤️⚠️ Obnoxiously optimistic post below... #sorrynotsorry ✨ We are all works in progress! You’ve read a hundred quotes about comparison being the thief of joy because it’s true! No two journeys are the same! Only YOU can be you. ✨ For years I let my lack of self-confidence prevent me from growth and success. I was my own worst enemy and I justified failure because “someone like me didn’t deserve success”. What?! How stupid does that sound? We ALL deserve success in whatever capacity that is. ✨ I am a completely different person than I was this time last year. Yes, I’m closing in on being 100lbs lighter, but more than that, my PERSPECTIVE has changed. I see myself and the world differently!! I’ve worked so hard to climb out of that hole I had burrowed into and now that my mind and body are healthy (-ish, because it’s an evolutionary process), it’s time to really focus on the professional success I’ve always imagined. ✨ This is going to be an amazing year for so many of us. You just have to make the decision today, right here and right now— the decision to make the changes. Baby steps are fine!! A year from now everything can be different and that excites me so much!! Who’s with me?? We got this, friends! 💞🥰🙌🏻
I shot Melissa and Matt’s wedding in 2016 and now I get to see them multiple times a week because they joined me for the current six-week challenge at @ironforgedfitness !! AND we’re all on the same TEAM!! Matt’s sister Ali is on our team, too! ✨ I can’t tell you how awesome this is and how PROUD I am of them!! I just love this little Instagram community that affords me the opportunity to share bits of my life— like my health and fitness journey— that ultimately have the power to motivate and inspire 💞💪🏻💫🥰 ✨ Should I share more about my gym life during these next 6 weeks while I’m participating in the challenge?? Let me know!!
