Here is a couple who knows how to laugh, have fun, and create awkward hilarity! I love engagements — they are filled with excitement,  anticipation, and ooey gooey eye contact. Congratulations to Steph and Alfred, here they are having some fun in downtown Fullerton, California.

You know how there are those people in your life that are so dear to you and are really more family than friends? Well this is the Seguras and that is exactly what they are to my family. So seeing them become parents is so special! My husband and I are among the first to have kids in a tight knit group of friends and as more of our friends begin to have children it is so exciting to welcome them on this amazing, ridiculously hard, but oh so rewarding journey. We love you baby Isaiah and can’t wait to see your little personality unfold!

This family has an incredible story! After a visit to Myanmar they were inspired by orphan ministry and the heart of the Father. They have now decided to move to Chiang Rai, Thailand and parter with existing ministries to plant a church body that will be on mission in it’s own backyard. They will be joined by over 20 people to plant this church! It was truly a privilege to photograph this amazing family before they make the trek overseas. Please learn more about their trip and how you can partner with them in both prayer and generosity.

This wedding was so much fun to photograph! Ashley and Jerry brought some Texas country to Southern California for this Temecula based event. Ashley’s beautiful family home set the stage for a DIY backyard wedding complete with orchards, cowboy boots, and line dancing! It was such a pleasure to capture this day and it was so evident that this couple LOVES each other deeply.

I am so excited to show a preview of this wonderful couple’s union at Green Gables in San Marcos! The location was lovely with perfect weather. Jason and Carly you are such beautiful people, inside and out and I am so happy to have been apart of your day. Your love for each other is so visible and I know God will bless you in marriage and in life.

Pregnancy really brought out the crafter in me! I will admit I was slightly obsessed. I sewed, stitched, embroidered, paper crafted, wood burned; pretty much everything short of weaving my own tapestries! But the great thing is it ended in a beautiful nursery for our little girl, a place I am really in love with—which is good since I now spend all waking hours there.

Also I am a bit of a planning nerd and created this initial mock up of what I wanted for the nursery. It is kind of fun to see what stayed and what changed.

I ended on the theme “Whimsical Woodland” if I had to call it anything. Coral and gold were my staple colors and I collected woodland animal details. Here are some of the resources that I used to make the real thing happen

Polk-a-dot wall decals • Bunny Stuffed Animal Pattern • Crib • Wall Art: Shakespeare Quote, Woodland Animals, Owls • Featured Fabrics: Bunnies, Geometric Pillow • Ikea Wall Shelf for books • Glider • Ottoman • Rug (not pictured)

The wood burned tree plaque, hand embroidered animal mobile, curtains, and corner poufs were all items inspired by Pinterest! Many small finds were also from Goodwill, garage sales, and flea markets. The dresser/changing table was an amazing craigslist find!

I know I have not been doing my due diligence in the blogging world lately but I have to share this sweet couple. When I met Marcus and Bryna I knew their day would be one filled with beauty, grace, laughter and of course love. Their care for one another and their love for God was evident on our first meeting. It was such a treat to get to share this day that they will always remember! Thank you again Marcus and Bryna for inviting me into your lives for the day.
