Have you ever dreamed of running away to marry the love of your life in the Southern California sun?  I have good news for you!  YOU CAN, and you can do it with the most amazing team of vendors.  

I’ve collaborated with an amazing team of vendors to give away a Romantic Desert Elopement for one lucky couple dreaming of running away to Joshua Tree! The winners will elope on November 12th, 2017 in Pioneertown, CA.

I’m thrilled to share this recent family session with you!  I absolutely ADORE family sessions, especially when pinks, neutrals, and muted tones are involved in the wardrobe color palette, and well, Ashley knows my heart!  The Strehl Family is one of the sweetest you will come across.  I’ve been fortunate enough to have worked with Ashley on a few projects and have really enjoyed being involved in photographing her small military spouse owned business, Jane & Cope (you can find her Etsy shop HERE).  We chose to photograph in the beautiful desert because its scenery never disappoints and you could probably say they love it here as this is their second tour at 29 Palms Marine Corps Base. 

Vanessa + Alec met in college and haven’t gone a day without speaking to each other ever since!  I mean c’mon! Talk about couple’s goals!  I could feel their connection at their romantic wind farm engagement session in Palm Springs, California, and it leaves me SO excited to photograph their October wedding in Palm Desert, California!

I absolutely love sharing in my clients’ milestones.  It is the BEST feeling ever, especially when I’ve had the privilege of photographing these lovely people before. Nina and Chris traveled all the way from Los Angeles to Joshua Tree to have me photograph their soon to be family of three!!  Pinch me — Is this real life?!  I get to call this my job, ya’ll.  I couldn’t be more thrilled to share with you, Nina and Chris as they get ready to welcome their newest family member in just a few short weeks!  By the way, they chose to not find out the gender of the baby!! I’M SO EXCITED to find out what Baby Moran is (along with the rest of the world)!!!
