San Diego Photographer

I'm a lover of sweets! Always love me a good Ice cream scoop (says the photo), dark chocolate, rasinets, caramel, soft chewy cookies (and sometimes the firm cookies), and weirdly pastries are a hit and miss for me?

I'm an Extrovert-Introvert (there is such a thing!) and love laughing at myself, dancing to 80s, 90s, 00s, and whatever makes you wanna dance. I am a cheerful optimist, traveler (budget seeker!), poking fun and oh so much do I love the beach. I love spicy food, making salsa and chips, eating dessert for breakfast and rocking out in the car. Most importantly, I seriously, so seriously love, to love.

As a San Diego Photographer, I specialize in Engagements, Weddings, Surprise Proposals, Lifestyles, Families and all things fun and wild.

Inspired by love letters, Dear Darling represents the simple things in life that we do to show the person or those close to us how much we love them. Whether it is a simple love note hidden in the pocket of her coat, a love letter reminding her how sweet it is to hear her laugh, a glance, an "I love You", or even making a PB&J sandwich for her! Nothing beats the purity and sincerity of the gesture. Dear Darling represents love and all the in-between.

Something magical about quiet moments shared by the ocean, where the waves carry whispers of love. Grateful for peaceful evenings and breathtaking views that remind us to slow down and cherish the little things.

The faraway shots. There’s something magical about these shots—the ones that capture not just the love, but the essence of the world around that love.

San Diego weather has had its share of unpredictable marine layers. From sunny inland to driving toward the overcast coast. What do you do? You go with it! 

Who needs the sun when the marine layer serves up magic like this?
