Theresa & Sara | Albuquerque, NM

Two and a half years ago, I had the honor of photographing Sara & Theresa’s wedding celebration at The Madonna Inn. We instantly connected over mutual awkwardness and quirky awesomeness. So much so, that they couldn’t imagine stepping in front of a new photographer’s lens, and flew me out to their home city of Albuquerque to document this exciting time and milestone with them. We spent the day exploring the city they love so much — from the nursery in their home, to the murals adorning the city buildings, all the way to Los Pablanos Lavender Farm for a photographer’s golden hour dreamscape.

Their sweet bebe is due this month, and I cannot WAIT to meet them for family photos this Winter.

The Gomes Family | Cayucos, CA

After 6+ years of photographing beautiful little family, we decided to try something different this year — see if we could do an entire family session without a single “look at the camera” moment.
You see, family sessions can be stressful for everyone — even the kids. So we thought, what if we went to their favorite place and let them do their favorite thing: just. play. No posing, no directing, just organic, child-led joy. And it was better than we could have dreamed. There were no meltdowns, tears, or tantrums. The kids didn’t fight or get overwhelmed.

It. Was. Everything.

(See how much the kids have grown since our last session)

It was freezing cold with gale force winds.
But you would never know it based on Elowen’s smile above.

It’s no secret how near and dear this family is to my heart. Watching and documenting these girls grow is one of my greatest honors.
And seeing as we’re doing Larken’s ONE YEAR (!!!!!) photos next week, I thought I should catch up and post this session we did for her 6 month milestone last fall.

And if you really want to fall down a rabbit hole, check out their pregnancy session…. and maybe, if you’re feeling it, even their birth story.

Paso Robles Family Photos – The Gomes Family

Three is about to become FOUR.
I think the internet knows by now just how dear The Gomes Family is to me and mine.
So I’ll spare you the feels and just let you feast your eyes on the perhaps the prettiest family photos I’ve ever taken…

Based in San Luis Obispo and traveling the globe documenting destination weddings, elopements, and stories of all kinds. Inspired by love, light, heartache, and all the things that make us human.
