You might recognize Miss Olivia…or Mrs. Olivia…from a recent Sheraton Carlsbad wedding. Well we met up again for a smokin’ trash-the-dress session here in San Diego. This is the first photo I worked on and I couldn’t wait to share it. Stay tuned for more pictures…

My heart goes out to those who lost their loved ones in the tragic Haiti earthquake. I can’t imagine how devasting it is to lose your child, your husband, wife, mom, dad, friend, or just anyone you care about. If you haven’t already helped in the Haiti Relief, then I encourage you to support one or more of the organizations that are already on full force to assist the people of Haiti.
Here’s a short list of some of the Haiti Earthquak Relief organizations you can support.
* UNICEF
An easy way to help it to text “HAITI” to 90999 to donate $10 to Red Cross relief efforts
or
text “YELE” to 501501 to donate $5 to Yele Haiti’s Earthquake Relief efforts.
Pray for GOD’s comfort over the hurting, for HIS guidance and provision over the medical teams and all those who are aiding in the relief efforts, and for those who are still missing loved ones after the earthquake to be reunited.
What makes for an awesome maternity portrait session?
* 90 degree weather in January
* some minor trespassing
* trekking up and down hills with a pregnant woman
* pretending to be giants with a 2-year old
* ants the size of spiders crawling on your feet
* a pair spectator horses
At the start of the new year, we headed up to Temecula, California for a maternity photography session. Isn’t it still supposed to be winter? It felt like 90 degrees. Anyways…here are some of my favorite pictures from our rockin’ maternity session with our good friend Lisa. It’s not always easy being pregnant and looking beautiful at the same time…but as you can see…she did awesome!

Meet the Marshalls! This is by far the largest family portrait shoot I’ve done. I have to say…at first I was a little nervous…how in the world do I pose a family of more than 25 people???? /: Despite that…this family made it easy…they were fun, laidback, goofy. You can just tell by looking at their portraits…which were taken at La Jolla Cove.

I love Christmas!!! SOOO much!!! It’s great to have a holiday to reflect on GOD’s love for us! HE loved us so much that HE sent HIS only Son to redeem us! So hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a great time celebrating the new year!
I’ve been slacking in the blog department …you know how the holiday season gets… but here are a few picture updates on what’s been going on with the Coalsons.
My baby boy being cute as ever!
What’s Christmas without “A Christmas Story”
Now what can I say about Jason and Jadah’s wedding at Coronado Beach? Jason is a very very dear friend of mine and has one of the most unique personalities I’ve ever met. He’s goofy, fun, loud…at times obnoxious…but that’s still one of the things I love about him. He’s a lover of hip hop and dances any- and everywhere, is so on fire for the LORD, and is so in love with this new wife Jadah. These two are so perfect for each other! And they are the most bomb dancing couple that I’ve seen. They actually met through dancing with Rock Steady Ministries, which Jason helps lead up at the Rock Church along with choreographer Brandon Henschel…who is seriously one of the best dancers I have ever seen!!!
So I wasn’t the official photographer at their wedding, but I thought I’d take a some portraits of them as a gift. Anyways, you have to check out their hip hop first dance video at the bottom. As you can tell by the video, this wedding was a PARTAY!!!

I posted teaser photos of Jonathon and Nikki’s wedding a few weeks back but just now have gotten a chance to post more pictures. These two are my Edward + Bella couple. Jonathon has a little bit of an Edward look to him, while Nikki’s a redhead like Bella. Anyways…they’re a gorgeous supermodel couple (:
They were married at the Rancho Bernardo Inn. I always love photographing RB Inn weddings! Gardens, water fountains, an abundance of trees, ivy laced walls…and a great staff (:
Waiting for his bride for their first glance…

This was a super fun crowd at a rooftop wedding I photographed at the La Jolla Cove Suites. It’s been a year since this wedding, but everytime I hear Soulja Boy’s song “Crank Dat” I still get flashbacks to this wedding. Why??? Because everyone…well not everyone…but a lot of people were synchronized dancing to it, and it was hilarious!!!
La Jolla Cove is one of my favorite places in San Diego. You have green grass, sandy beach, seals, squirrels running everywhere, sneaky seagulls, tidepools…and so much more. And at La Jolla Cove Suites, you have a lovely panoramic view of it all!
