2018 Highlights!

I can’t believe how quickly this year went- it seems like a week ago that I was just making my 2017 highlight post! Even though 2018 may have been a bit of a tough year for me health wise, it was an AMAZING year for photos! I got to travel to Oregon, Washington, & Michigan, and locally I hung out in Orange County, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, Big Sur, Joshua Tree, Palm Springs, Big Bear, Temecula, Yosemite, and Mammoth Lakes.

I am so grateful for every rad couple & person who enabled me to travel to all these places and make a career out of what I love to do! Without all of you I wouldn’t be chasing my dreams, so THANK YOU for trusting my vision in documenting all of your beautiful life adventures.

PS I’m booking weddings, engagements, couples, seniors and families in 2019, so if you like what ya see and might be interested in any of those services for yourself or someone you know, please send me a message, and spread the word! I would love to keep doing this photo thing for many years to come. 🙂

It was almost impossible to narrow down from all the amazing and beautiful photoshoots from this last year, but here is a collection of SOME of my favorite photographic moments from 2018:
