the romabiles- one beautiful family

We had a great time and created some really beautiful images.

Here’s one of my many faves from the session.

So cute!

They also brought along their adorable dog.

They’re huge board gamers so they brought alone Scrabble.

And a kite for some more fun shots.

I love the dog’s feet as part of the lineup.

Isn’t the little dog silhouette so cute?

Thanks again Romabiles! It was great meeting you guys.

marshall family

Despite the cloudy weather, we had a great time at a beach up in Carlsbad. They’re a beachy/surfer family so it was obvious that we did their portrait session at the beach.

So cute.

Little M brought her favorite doll along for the photos.

Little M loved playing in the sand and getting wet.

Little M had the most amazingly blue eyes.

Andrea is a hula dancer, and just wanted to capture a few images of her dance.

A single seagull.

Thanks guys for such a fun shoot!

karen & bill’s wedding – la jolla cove suites rooftop

Karen & Bill had a beautiful wedding atop the La Jolla Cove Suites on one of the only hot days in July.:)

The day began with Karen’s stunning dress.

The rooftop has an amazing view of the La Jolla Cove.

The wonderful Jane Quirin officiated their wedding (she did my wedding too, and is the sweetest person). Just let me know if you’d like her info.

Karen chose navy and pink as her wedding colors, and the La Jolla Cove Suites is all pink! So everything color coordinated.:)

One of my many faves of the day.

One of my favorite parts of the hotel was this giant cement wall. Yup, that’s right, I loved this cement wall. It made for such a subtle beautiful background.

Just stunning. . . beauties. . . parasols. . . setting sun. . . what more could I have asked for?

Another fave. . . you can’t beat great smiles.

Gorgeous.

These little green lookouts are one of my fave photo spots.

Just a bit of dreaminess.

Congrats Karen & Bill!!! It was such a pleasure to be there on your special day.

1 yr wedding anniversary and the grand canyon!!!!

So, for Albert and my 1 year wedding anniversary (8/22) we went on a road trip to the Grand Canyon and Sedona. The weather was great and the sites were sooooo beautiful. Here are a few from the Canyon.

Our first Grand Canyon sunset.

The next day we woke up early (and I’m NOT a morning person) for the sunrise, and it was totally worth it- so peaceful and beautiful.

Plus, I LOVE this image of Albert.

Our second Canyon sunset.

More to come later, and some from Sedona.

melanie & ben married!

Back in July I had the pleasure of photographing Melanie and Ben’s intimate Coronado Beach wedding. Oddly enough in July the weather was cloudy and a bit cool, but the images we created are filled with love and warmth.

I love the soft muted palette we got because of the cloudy sky. It lens such a romantic, somewhat vintage feel to all the images.

LOVE this image.

Congrats again Melanie & Ben!!!!

mustaches!!!

This past weekend my brother was visiting and with a group of friends we went to PB to hang  out. A friend brought along mustaches.:)

kim & danny- summertime garden wedding

Kim & Danny had a beautiful afternoon wedding at Shadowridge Country Club in Vista. Surrounded by friends & family they had a garden-setting ceremony.

They had a gorgeous ceremony site, in a nice private little garden.

Kim looked so stunning in her lace dress. I just love the soft romantic feel of these images with the warm setting sun.

More fun ring shots.

Here’s a shout out to my favorite clients!!

I photographed Carolyn & Danny’s (couple on the right) wedding in May 2009, now Kim & Danny’s, and up next on 10/10/10 I’ll be doing Brandi & Sean’s wedding. So who’s next???

These bouquet toss images are hysterical. Just check out the girls in the back.

Thanks again Kim & Danny- it was a blast.

jeanette and don- are getting married

Meet Jeanette and Don- they’re awesome! We had a great time strolling around Balboa Park making pretty pictures.

So cute, Jeanette has such a great smile.

One of my faves- it has all my favorite things- pretty light, trees, and great people.

Another fave of mine.

Their wedding is coming soon! September- I can’t wait.

heidi & zach- married!

Their wedding was one of my favorite’s of all time- they’re a great couple, and I LOVED the “look” of their wedding day.

Heidi and Zach chose to have their wedding at Harry Griffen Park in La Mesa. It’s a special place for them- they both grew up nearby and played there as children. The whole day was casual, low-key and filled with friends, family, and love. They had a beautiful ceremony in the park amphitheater, followed by a casual reception of mingling, and great food of burgers and fries.

Heidi chose a natural, vintage, fun style for her decor. She handmade over a hundred paper pinwheels, and created casual tabletops with jelly jars full of pinwheels and potted succulents.

Enjoy!!!

Heidi & Zach chose to do their “first look” before the ceremony which gave us time to create many beautiful images of them.

Plus, look at the happiness on their face as their seeing each other for the first time on their wedding day.

Congratulations Heidi & Zach on your beautiful wedding and marriage.

I just got a new CAR!!!

My hubby and I purchased our first new car, a MAZDA5, which will be great for me hauling around camera gear.

I of course, being the pretty practical person I am, wanted silver- you don’t have to wash it as often for it to look good. But Albert already has a silver car, so now we have twin cars, which he’s a bit bummed about. Oh well.

Now, back to work for me. Gotta pay that car off somehow.:)

August 1, 2010 - 2:37 pm

Albert - It looks like the Miata is laughing at you from the showroom!

Shoulda got a matching roadster so we can race on Saturdays

megan & mike engaged

Megan & Mike are so cute! Just look at those smiles.

Gorgeous, gorgeous light.

So cute.

Also, I made a sweet little slideshow of their session:

Thanks Mike and Megan- I can’t wait for the wedding.

sneak peek- karen & bill’s beautiful la jolla rooftop wedding

This past Saturday I had the pleasure of photographing Bill & Karen’s wedding at the great location of the La Jolla Cove Suites.

The rooftop ceremony was beautiful with a bright sunny sky, and a great view of the La Jolla Cove.

The wedding party was a beautiful bunch.

Bill and Karen looked HOT!!!!

As the sun was setting, and getting soft and warm, we grabbed these few shots of Karen with her parasol- just beautiful!

These little lookout gazebos on the Cove are so fun for photos.

Congrats Karen & Bill!!! More photos to come later.

August 18, 2010 - 12:30 pm

Theresa - Karen & Bill were simply amazing in these photos, it was a great celebration of a couple that is awesome, and I wish them the best always…thanks for sharing these wonderful photos, but with the both of them it’s really hard to get a great shot they look spectacular together and the joy they shared in this wonderful day really was apparent in them both!!!

portraits in a meadow. . .

Back in May, some friends and us went camping, and of course I had to do a little photos session with the beautiful scenery and our gorgeous friends- Rebecca & Austin.

Enjoy!

I’ll definitely be posting more of these later.
