Under the Pier | San Diego Family Photographer - Oceanside
How could I not blog this family the second I finished editing!? SWOON. They are legit a fairy tale. Happy, kind, loving, silly, giggly, playful, devoted. All the things. All the feels. It’s no wonder I become friends with most of my clients, getting to peak into their lives and fall in love. It’s so special to be let into such unique dynamics that each family has. LOVE.

I'm telling you - it's a good thing I am pregnant because otherwise I would have major baby-fever with all these little ones I am shooting lately! Gorgeous Stella, making her debut ♥

The Funky Bus | Austin Family Photographer
Every summer since moving to Austin, I've been lucky enough to go back to San Diego for the month of July to visit family, friends, and get our fill of the beach too! Last summer I also wanted to provide my San Diego clients with an easy, fun, and unique photo session. Cue in the Funky Bus -1968 powder blue VW Bus that is semi famous in and of itself. It has been in Nike ads, the San Diego Pride parade, and used for multiple photos shoots. A photographer friend set me up with Dan Funk and his Funky Bus. It was probably the most fun mini session I have ever done. We had a bucket of corona, Slightly Stupid playing, and Dan hanging out entertaining the dads with surf stories about his adventurous life. So So-Cal. So fun. Here are a few pics from the afternoon!
And, of course I'm taking part in my bi-monthly blog circle! I just love collaborating with other photographers. I'm with a special group of photographer friends this week - we are linking to one another's posts, so you can check out some inspiring work!
This week, I’m linking to a talented Minneapolis NICU Photographer and her post is about post is about a NICU session. Make sure to look for the link at the bottom of this blog post!
But first, all things Funky Bus!!
I hope I get to collaborate with Dan and his Funky Bus every summer!

The N Family | Carlsbad Family Photographer
This family is just genuinely happy, loving and kind and so much fun to photograph. Let’s not forget to mention the style game here. STRONG. I always look forward to the outfit coordination from this tribe! But more important than that is the way these sweet kiddos are raised and loved on and how the parents are madly in love with each other. You can just feel the adoration and respect between them all. I look forward to seeing this family every year!

My 9 Favorite Things About Photographing Newborns
Newborn photography is one of my favorite types of photography. Whether it's capturing the new normal of the family through lifestyle photos or posing the newborn to show off their sleepy freshness, there isn't anything that compares to photographing newborns. Just for fun, I though I'd list off my 9 favorite aspects of this part of being a photographer.
Oh, and I’ve got a special surprise at the end of this post! I’m taking part in a blog circle with some photographer friends of mine. We’re linking to each other’s posts, so you can check out what they’re up to. This week, I’m linking to a fabulous Lifestyle/Documentary Photographer and Educator in Nashville and her post is about about Learning all about Lu Huang and her composite work.
But first, let’s talk about all the fun aspects of a newborn shoot!!
#9. As a mom of 3, I can honestly say that the birth of each of my children was by far the best days of my life. When I look at their newborn photos, I feel that pure joy all over again. I love that my job is to capture this time for my clients. I know that the photos will bring them the same kind of joy they brought me.
#8. I love newborns. If I could have 10 more babies, I would! Since that isn't possible, I love that I get my baby fix when I get to photograph them.
#7. Capturing the new family together. There is a unique energy to each family and I love seeing it come through in the photos.
#6. That new baby smell. Hello!
#5. That surprise smile. It almost always happens. They settle into a deep sleep and for about 2 seconds, will pop out a little smile. It just kills me.
#4. Hearing about the story of the birth. It is one of the most exciting days in new parents lives. All the stories are so different and I love sharing in the excitement with the parents.
#3. Seeing sibling reactions. Oh my goodness! It is just so fun to watch and capture the genuine joy in siblings getting to know their new little brother or sister. It never fails to make my heart skip a beat!
#2. Choosing simple props to show off the adorableness of the newborn. The little hats, diaper covers, and headbands are just too much. It is so fun coordinating this with mom and seeing her reaction upon seeing her new baby all dolled up.
#1. I love the feeling of completing a newborn shoot. It is one of the most challenging types of photography. A lot goes into knowing how to safely and successfully pose a newborn baby. Through the years I've developed my bag of tricks. I like to think of myself as a baby whisperer ☺. Nothing compares to the feeling walking away knowing you have a beautiful gallery of photos to edit and deliver to your clients.
I'm convinced that capturing newborns is the best job in the world!

All Dressed Up | San Diego Child Photographer
I was more than happy to escape the sea of boxes on Sunday afternoon to photograph these beautiful girls. After moving all week it was a nice change of pace to be outside with these innocent cuties. Seriously such a fun shoot. Gorgeous light and perfect models - can't ask for more than that! My Tutu Mania shoots are definitely a favorite of mine. So lucky I get to do this!
