Lifestyle Session - Mcnair Family - San Diego, California

A couple months back I stayed in California with Sean, Erica, and their son Alister. We had planned to do family photos and I had the idea of getting up early with them and see what I could capture around their home.

As a photographer I've grown so tired of telling people what to do when I'm photographing them.

Your life as it is is exciting. The laughter, the messiness, the normal day to day. Its all beautiful. My goal in family sessions, weddings, or whatever I'm photographing is to come at things naturally.

I want to see you be you.

Thanks Sean and Erica for having me! Your family is a blessing and I love you guys and wish I was in California more!

Brian and Tani Portrait Session!

Here are Tani and Brian. They are expecting their child any day now! I'm so happy about creating images like these, ones that are beautiful and honest, ones they will be able to show their kids years from now. 

I met Brian when I was in high school; we played on the football team together. A couple years ago we reconnected at a wedding I was photographing; he happened to be a groomsmen. The two of them have been married for 3 years. He is a third year law student and she teaches at an elementary school. Recently he told me that him and his wife, Tani, were expecting a child and asked if I could take their photos. I was more than honored to do it. 

We went to Mead Botanical Gardens one Saturday afternoon and got to explore around!
 

Blake and Ana - San Diego Portrait Session

When I was in San Diego last month I had the pleasure of photographing Blake and Ana. They are two incredibly beautiful people, who as of February celebrated one year of marriage  We went to Sunset Cliffs, just before Sunset for photos. Both of them love hiking, camping, and simply being outdoors, so it was the perfect place to be. It was also my first time ever photographing a couple in California! 

I couldn't have asked for a better time. Thank you Blake and Ana for allowing me to get to know you all a bit and make some photos together! 

Joey and Joy - Mission Inn Resort and Club

Joey and Joy recently got married. They are both incredibly kind people who I've been really happy to get to know. Their wedding was held on an incredibly beautiful day at Mission Inn and Resort in Howey in Hills, Florida(about 30 minutes from Orlando). 

Joey became friends with Joy's brother through work and caught a glimpse of her via a photograph on the fridge while he was helping him move. He knew instantly that he wanted to be with her and set up a "chance" dinner. Upon meeting he got her number from Joy's brother.

March of last year they went on their first date and the rest is history. I can see their love for another in so many of the photos that were captured on their day. Thankful for you both and blessings in all your years to come!

Mikey and Lisy Wedding - Winter Garden, FL.

I met Mikey a couple years back when he was a groomsmen at another wedding I photographed. When he got engaged he reached out to me about photographing his wedding as well! I couldn't have been more pumped to do it! 

Both Mikey and Lisy are involved in a church in Clermont and have a huge heart to serve others with their lives. Its been awesome to get to know them and their family over the course of the last year leading up to their wedding! 

They got married in Winter Garden at the beautiful Stoneybrook West. It was a small outdoor ceremony with their friends and family. The weather was perfect and not too hot! Mikey and Lisy's day couldn't have been better!
