4th of July 2020 Part I

Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸 Freedom ain’t free; that’s why we’re fighting for equality today. It’s been an exhausting year and we still have so much to do, so let’s take some time and celebrate some of the progress we’ve made. ❤️💙 Let us not grow weary of doing good, but continue fighting the good fight. God bless the USA!

Happy 244th birthday, America!

Del Mar Heights Headshot

in

One of my favorite things about photography is getting to meet new people, learn their stories and become friends. Quinn is one example of a client-turned-friend! As we shot, she told me about her job as a voice-over actress. It was so fascinating to learn some of the behind the scenes that happen behind the camera! She’s worked with companies like Disney, Nickelodeon, and Marvel, and was the happiest and most down-to-earth person ever. After our short headshot session, we felt like the best of friends! Quinn is such a joy to be around; an absolute light, and I’m so blessed to have met her! Also! She brought her dog and we got the cutest pics at the end. Enjoy!

Escondido At-Home Senior Session

in

While quarantine was still in place, many San Diego venues were closed, so we decided to shoot at Macey’s childhood home for her senior portraits! It ended up being so special and nostalgic; here was where she had practiced soccer and played sports with her family. Macey is attending Westmont next year and playing soccer for the women’s team. I had the pleasure of taking her family’s photos last summer, but it was so fun getting to know this girl’s personality during her own session. She is so sweet, goofy, kind and thoughtful and is on her way to doing great things in this next season! Congrats, Macey, and good luck on your new adventure in college!

Happy Mother's Day! 2020

To all the mamas around the world-in our memories, in our presence, in secret or in the future-happy Mother’s Day. The world is a more loving, kind and welcoming place because of your selflessness, strength, resilience and grace. From Deer Trail Photography and all the kiddos, we wish you the best day celebrating YOU!

“Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: ‘Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all’” (Proverbs 31 28-29).

Del Mar Heights Family

One Paseo is a new mall in Del Mar Heights that I absolutely ADORE. Not only do they have adorable local businesses and yummy eats, but they have such a cute aesthetic, too! The whole strip is basically a black and white farmhouse aesthetic that I am totally in love with. It’s perfect for alllll your urban portrait session dreams. Influencers, seniors, headshots, families, couples…you name it. Definitely one of my favorite San Diego spots now! You have to visit when you get a chance-it’s kid friendly and photo friendly, haha! :)

This is the third year I’ve gotten to take this family’s Christmas photos and it’s crazy to compare the year’s growth and ways their sweet family has grown and changed.

International Women's Day 2020

Happy International Women’s Day! I LOVE this holiday because it’s an excuse for me to highlight some of my favorite photos. There’s something so special and fierce about sisterhood; chosen, biological or adopted. Today, let’s celebrate women by lifting others AND ourselves up! We all got crowns; there’s no need to knock over yours to praise someone else’s. This one’s for the girls!

Your beauty is rooted in your authenticity and there’s no one like you! Let’s celebrate and empower women today to be real, unfiltered, true and free. Happy Women’s Day!
