Windansea Beach, La Jolla
Windansea Beach in La Jolla is one of my absolute favorite beaches to shoot at in San Diego, because it has so much to offer as far as composition goes. Beach, bluffs, structures, sunsets, a photographer just couldn’t ask for more! I had a family portrait session scheduled here recently, and I decided to show up a little early to …
How to Look Your Best for Professional Portraits
As a professional portrait photographer in San Diego, one thing I’ve learned over the years is that not everyone is comfortable in front of a camera. Being nervous is a normal reaction…after all, not everyone is a professional model or Instagram selfie master! But never fear, as one of the aspects of my job that I take VERY seriously is …

Secret Scripps Ranch, San Diego
Ok, I’m not gonna lie here, I’m going to be greedy (at least for a little while). I stumbled upon this shoot location when searching for a single spot that could give me different looks for portrait shoots… And I struck GOLD! This spot has architecture, dry creek beds, willow trees, lush coverings, brick bridges, wooden fences and so many …
Geisel Library, UCSD, La Jolla
Geisel Library at UCSD is an architectural marvel, and if you search online you’ll find thousands of photos of this beautiful structure. Although I have two sisters that have graduated from UCSD, I’ve never taken the time to photograph the library! Today, I decided to kill two birds (three if you count Shot From the Edge) with one stone… take …
Miramar Overlook Park, San Diego
Sometimes beauty can be found in the simplest of places, often overlooked in one’s busy life. You can pass by it daily and never even notice it, caught up in monotonous thoughts of just living life. It can be difficult to remember to stop, look, appreciate, breathe and be thankful. I captured these images when I took a moment and …
Los Penasquitos Waterfalls, San Diego
After the heavy rain in San Diego yesterday (ahem…), I decided to take a little hike and capture the Los Penasquitos Waterfalls this morning. I have to admit, I took a shortcut (the hike was only about 1.5 miles instead of 3.5 miles!), but considering I was carrying my camera gear, I felt I deserved it! It was a muddy …
Christmas on Naples Island, Long Beach
Often (but not often enough), I do enjoy getting out to shoot photos just for myself. Photography is a very strong passion of mine, and I absolutelly love doing long exposure shots, night photography and capturing the contrast between light and dark. So after my wedding shoot in Long Beach last Christmas, Musa (my second cameraman for my wedding shoot) …
Pier 32 Marina, National City
The Pier 32 Marina in National City is one of San Diego’s hidden gems. Tucked away off the industrial streets and roads in National City is this little oasis of a marina that’s a perfect venue for small weddings and events (i.e. 50-100 people). The venue provides a beautiful view of the marina, along with a nice pier that can …
