Art in every expression. Beauty in every view. We are a super fun (it's true!) husband and wife team with a passion to create and connect.

So…what are you waiting for?!?

It's Kaia's 1st Rodeo! We had so much fun capturing this sweet birthday party...complete with music, sensory play, horse adoptions and Mr. Softee's!

We are so blessed to live close to such beautiful places! We treated ourselves to a little overnight getaway for Valentine's Day and while Seleta went for a run, Nitro and I went out to catch the sunrise. Hope everyone enjoyed the gorgeous weather this weekend!

History isn’t just something we read about — it’s a reminder of the mistakes we’ve made. Along Highway 395, about 200 miles from Los Angeles (and roughly 300 from Sacramento), sit the remains of one of those mistakes. It’s deceptively — almost intentionally — easy to miss, marked by only a single modest sign before the freeway exit.

The Manzanar War Relocation Center was one of two Japanese American incarceration (concentration) camps in California (ten nationwide) during World War II. Though considered one of the smaller sites, Manzanar still held more than 10,000 Japanese Americans at its peak. Within its barbed-wire boundaries stood a jail, schoolhouses, a baseball field, housing blocks, a hospital, and multiple guard towers.

When the camp closed in 1945, it faded quickly and quietly into the landscape, leaving behind concrete foundations, two guard posts, an auditorium, and a cemetery. Today, a handful of reconstructed buildings — created by the National Park Service — stand as a reminder of this darker chapter in our history, urging us to learn, reflect, and say with conviction: Never again.

Today I had the honor of photographing the Board of Directors for the Gold Coast Veterans Foundation — an incredible organization that shows up for our veterans when they need it most. Whether it’s providing a new wheelchair, helping put food on the table, guiding someone through their VA benefits, or offering support in countless other ways, GCVF is there.

Proud to stand behind a team whose mission is simple and powerful:

“Serving those who served us.”

A quick road trip up to Lone Pine turned into something a little magical. We were heading toward Mt. Whitney Portal with Nitro riding shotgun when we rounded a bend and found ourselves in the middle of a quiet deer gathering. Eight of them — grazing, wandering, completely unbothered by us.

So we did the only thing that felt right: we stopped, watched, and let the moment unfold. Twenty minutes of stillness, soft steps, and the kind of calm you don’t plan… you just stumble into.

These are the moments that make the miles worth it.

We took a quick road trip up California’s stunning Highway 395 to Lone Pine— just me, my wife, and Nitro. We chased the light, texture, and the kind of landscapes that make you stop and stare. From desert arches to snow-capped peaks, every stop reminded us how wild and beautiful this state really is. Grateful for the adventure and the memories we made along the way.

Cuteness OVERLOAD! This was one of the most fun sessions we've ever done. Miss Kaia was amazing for all 12 outfit changes. 🙃We sang, danced, read, laughed, and made the most ridiculous noises and faces! We are so honored to be trusted with such a special and beautiful little girl. 💜

Night photography always feels like stepping into a parallel world — the same places, but with completely different stories whispered in the dark.

If you ever find yourself in Coronado, make time for a stop at Glorietta Bay to see “The Naked Warrior.” This powerful statue honors the U.S. Navy’s early underwater demolition teams and the SEALs who followed — men who swam in unarmed, under fire, carrying explosives to clear the way for amphibious landings. Their motto says it all: “First Ashore.”

And if you look just past the warrior’s right shoulder, you’ll spot the graceful arc of the Coronado Bridge — a reminder of how history, courage, and beauty all share the same shoreline after dark.

Looking back at some of my favorite photos from 2025 — the little moments, the big adventures, and everything in between. Grateful for every memory these captured, and excited for all the new stories 2026 will bring. Here’s to more light, more laughter, and more magic through the lens.
