It’s the tale of two hero’s fighting for our country and falling in love in the midst of their venture. San Diego is just one of the many places Katy and Tim will be, and l am so lucky to have the chance to photograph a new part of their journey as they become parents. I cannot wait to meet their new little bundle of joy!

I made them kiss (a lot!) but I think Tim was super happy about that part of taking pictures. It’s hard to come into a session without knowing each other and feel the love for the camera right away. So I use various techniques, i.e. kissing and groping one another, to calm everyone’s nerves and in turn capture those real moments and expressions that really make a portrait come alive. I can’t tell you how gratifying it is to go through the pictures and be smiling from ear to ear. My daughter was watching me go through Katy and Tim’s pictures and asking, “Why are you smiling Mommy?” I told her it was because seeing other people happy and laughing made me happy too. This is the moment where you all go “Awwwww”.
