Ericson Family | Family Moments | Carlsbad Family Photographer

I had so much fun with this adorable family!  They are a funny bunch full of spunk and sass.  We started off with Jared and he had me in tears laughing at his antics.  He's a stud! And miss Nicki... I wanted to bring her home with me.  She's adorable! Mom and Dad were just as cute together!  I love it when the rents are so in love and have a great relationship.  It makes for a fun session.  Last but not least I captured images of Colin, and can I say this guy is tough.  Poor guy had a horrible cold but he stuck it out and was just so easy going and kind.  He's gonna be great boyfriend material someday! I loved meeting this family and capturing the essence of who they are.  Enjoy some of the favs from their family session on the ranch.

Samantha | Class of 2017 Senior Model Team | San Diego Senior Photographer

Meet Samantha, one of my beautiful Class of 2017 senior models!  I'm so glad Sam applied to my program and I had the opportunity to capture her senior photos!  She's a beautiful young woman, that speaks for itself.  But when we met for her senior session, I got to see the kind, funny and sweet person that she is.  We had a great time wandering around the park capturing moments.  We laughed when she said she was struggling with creating a certain look, she said "I'm just good at selfies!" LOL She IS great at selfies, me not so much.  But I loved that because that means she is comfortable in front of the camera and feels good about her photos.  Photographers would not have known what selfie was 5 years ago, which just goes to show how quickly this industry {and the world} is changing.  Photographing seniors keeps me on the edge, they know what's new and cool and I love soaking up that youthful knowledge while I spend time with them.  Enjoy some of my favs from Samantha's senior session in the park!

Cortez Family | Family Moments | Carlsbad Family Photographer

I was so excited to get a message from the Cortez family asking for family photos! I started capturing moments for them when their youngest daughter was born and I have a great time with them each time.  This time we photographed the whole family and included grandma and uncle.  I love the colors they chose for this location, and that dress...she might be the best dressed mama out there!  Here are some of my favs from their family moments session at the Ranch.
