Time. . . . I don’t know about you, but I’m looking for the silver lining in all of this. I feel like I’ve been given a gift of time, which on a normal day, there’s never enough of. Like all of us, I’m always racing against the clock to get life and work tasks checked off my list, hurrying from one thing to the next with very little time for pause. This has been a reset. A perspective change. And, honestly I’m appreciating it. I’m sad for all of the sickness and hardships and praying that this comes to an end very soon. But for now, I am going to look for the good and find joy in the midst. I think we all should. . . . . . * Meals out on the fly have turned into meals in with the entire family at home. * Our neighborhood community has come together for the greater good and spread joy. So much creativity and joy. * Quick 1 hour workouts in a gym or studio have turned into long 2 hour trail hikes outdoors with my lab. * The (not-so-pressing, but important to me) items on my To Do list for over a year are slowly turning into check marks. * A good image hosting gallery is turning into an amazing and more beautiful image hosting gallery with more options and products for my clients, which I’ll be able to reveal soon and start using with my first shoots after this is all over. * Nights filled with work have turned into me being able to watch some tv shows (rare occurrence for me). * The pressures of the school year have turned into a calm in my kids that I can see and feel. * The promise of tomorrow turned on a dime into let’s all be so thankful for what we have today.

Since we are all staying home, LET’S DREAM A LITTLE. If you could go anywhere in the world right now to have your photos taken, where would it be and why? Drop your comment below👇🏼. Can’t wait to do some virtual traveling with you.

The light in Balboa Park’s Botanical Building was bouncing all around us. I wished I had bottled it up and saved it for today. Wrapping up Hannah & Dean’s Engagement Session in beautiful San Diego to deliver today. Watch stories for more images from this shoot. Thanks to the amazing folks @photovisionprints for the film scans.

I’ve always said that Planners are worth their weight in gold and will be the most important investment we make when our daughter Olivia gets married one day. Now more than ever I believe that. I’m so grateful for the planners and vendors I partner with and the way they take care of our brides, especially during this unprecedented time in the event and wedding industry. It’s an honor to work alongside these professionals who are tirelessly rallying and pivoting many moving parts again this week to insure you will still have the wedding of your dreams.

Forced family photos today (insert evil mom laugh) since I have my teenagers trapped at home. They give me 2.5 minutes before announcing “We’re done”. Thanks to our neighbor @southernswingco for our porch swing that we’ve enjoyed for several years. It’s a perfect time to support small business owners and there’s no better time than now for porch lounging and fresh air! #lovethesetwo #mine #teens

I missed St. Patrick’s Day completely. My mind was on other things. So here’s a little green a day late. ☘️ “May the road rise to meet you, May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, The rains fall soft upon your fields.” — Irish Blessing (Nothing and no one was touched. I encountered less than 10 people and remained more than 6 feet away as this was early morning.) #takenothingforgranted #compliance

I’m committed to be a calm and accommodating partner for my spring brides and planners who are navigating this unfamiliar territory with the utmost grace and professionalism. Brides, I know you might feel overwhelmed right now, but I’m confident in the planners and vendors I work with and know they will work tirelessly to rally and take care of you. And, please know that you are the priority on my calendar, you will still have a beautiful day to marry the love of your life and I will be right there by your side to document it all. In the meantime, don’t let this virus win by stealing your joy. There’s still so much joy.
