Happy Birthday to me! It’s been a crazy ride from day one and I wouldn’t have it any other way! 🤪
Showing my face today. Saying hello! And giving new followers an introduction. I’ve lived in lovely San Diego my whole life, except a brief decade spent in Solana Beach, CA. I moved so far! ⚪️ I’ve been a professional photographer of some sort since 1998! Now full-time for the last 15+ years doing documentary style weddings & lifestyle photography. Cut my teeth in the darkroom hand-printing black & white film images. ⚪️ I spend any free minutes I have playing in my garden or with my family. And I’ve recently been sucked into playing Disney’s Dreamlight Valley game. A total time suck! Oops. ⚪️ I love travel the most and would love to photograph you soon if our travels line up? I’ll be in Maui, Sequoia, Seattle, Maui again. Pending : Florence and San Miguel de Allende. Such an exciting year to look forward to!
He new the assignment 💕
As a wedding photographer, I’ve eaten an impressive amount of cake over the years. I’ve had to become quite selective over time in fact. Not every cake is worth the splurge. So tell me, which baker makes your favorite cake? Why? And definitely tag them in the comments with their best flavor so I can be sure to give them a visit!
