So now that Emme is walking, it’s been tougher and tougher to get her to sit still for the camera. Managed to catch a few of her while we have been camping at Grandma and Grandpa’s house.

So lots of people have asked me to post some pictures of the Tuscan castle in which I stayed for the Colangelo/Rief wedding. Here you go.

Jen and Matt are having their first baby in the *very* near future and wanted some nice maternity images done before the big day. Matt and I went to high school together, and Jen and my wife are former co-workers. We’re lucky to have them as friends and are thrilled for the new addition to their family.

These images were shot at Matt’s parents’ property, which is tucked away in a little-known pocket of Encinitas. There’s this cool tunnel that goes through this large sandstone ridge on the property, which is where these were taken.

Patti and Fernando are getting married in Vegas, but they wanted some fun and romantic portraits shot before then. So, we spent the afternoon cruising the streets of La Jolla and then ventured down to the beach towards sunset. Total naturals in front of the camera and an absolute pleasure to shoot.

Sitting here while my daughter eats her cinnamon toast, bananas, and Cheerios, I completely forgot to update my blog!

Derek and Melissa were married back in June at Wilson Creek Winery in Temecula. Such a fantastic couple to work with, so fun and romantic with two warm, welcoming families. Here are some highlights.
