insta-love

There’s a little app obsession I have with Instagram. If you have an iPhone and don’t have this app yet, you must get on it. Its like twitter but with photos. It gives me a little creative challenge everyday, something I can document on the go, on my phone and share right away. You can check out my daily musings in my instagram gallery and feel free to follow! One thing that makes instagramming even more fun is the monthly challenges you can join, which are always a great way to keep you thinking creatively too. Maybe I’ll post more of my insta’s on the blog from time to time…but for now…here is a small collection…

 

Mike & Lacey // Santa Rosa Wedding Photographer

Lacey and Mike got married at a private residence in gorgeous Santa Rosa surrounded by their immensely loving families. There was one thing that was certain, these two were held dear by every single person who attended. The venue, decor, florals, music, and desserts, every inch of this wedding was put together by a dear friend or family member. It felt so special, so personal. And to top it all off, Lacey and Mike are probably the nicest people you will ever meet. Lacey’s electric laugh is so contagious, I think I had a permanent smile on my face the entire day. The way Mike would look at her, and then ask us…”have you seen how beautiful she looks?!” — melted my heart. 

inspired by // Arian Behzadi

Totally inspired by Arian Behzadi. A bio major at UC Davis with an obvious talent for visual design work, he creates these rad pieces in between his classes. Textures, photography, splashes of color, type…what more could I ask for? I love these. To see even more of his work be sure to check out his flickr portfolio.

friendship goes a long way…

Some friendships grow old with you, they age as you age and they transform as life sends you through its unavoidable seasons. Over the years, Hanniel and I have been BFF’s, classmates, roommates and ever since we were probably 4 and 5 years old, our families have pretty much become one in the same. I’m reminded how valuable true friendship is and how quickly we take the people around us for granted. I’m so thankful to have friendships in my life that run deep, inspire me to be better and can encourage the dreams and passions that live inside our big hearts to come alive, simply just by being around each other. This was a day with Hanniel.

Eye Candy: something purely aesthetically pleasing, that is, pleasing to the senses.

Featured! Ruffled Blog | Frances & Ben // Mill Valley Wedding Photographer

This wedding stole my heart. All of the elements throughout this wedding oozed of simple romance and whimsy. Frances and Ben got married on top of Mt Tamalpais amidst the gorgeous fog and beautiful scenery. As I shot this wedding, I truly felt like I was documenting a fairy tale, something out of a book. From the enchanted little mountain home where Frances got ready, the rolling hills on top of Mt. Tam, the adorable little animal figurines sprinkled all around the reception and dancing under the gold sparkly stars…can we say DREAMY? Yes. Absolutely. A big thank you to Ruffled Blog for featuring their wedding today! To read more about how Frances dreamed up this romantic day, be sure to check out Ruffled.

Lily & Blake // Carmel Valley

There are certain things that make me super happy and meeting couples that I instantly click with is one of them. I had the best time with Lily & Blake and Nima (thanks for exploring and assisting for the day!) as we explored the quaint streets and gorgeous valleys of Carmel. Although they live in the great state of Texas, Lily and Blake fell in love with Carmel and all its rustic characteristics. From the spanish tiles to the picnic under the sun, the elements in this shoot make me swoon!
