We visited the Jewel of the California Missions this weekend. It was a beautiful day and the kids loved just walking around the old ruins. I forget about it until I drive by once in awhile and then think of going to see it. Merrik and Maliea especially loved the koi ponds and the gift shop.
Merrik and I scouted an out of the way, rugged beach for a photo session the other day. It is located in San Clemente State Beach system and was the most perfect spot for this mom looking to set out on a new career path so she can have more time with her two adorable kids. Angelica drove all the way down from Los Angeles to meet me for a photo session and wanted to have her photographs taken…

This past weekend we finally all made it to the beach with Dad. Merrik was in the refreshing 60ยบ water the whole time. Shivers did not keep him from going in, wipe-outs did…
Here is last weekends post. We went to Encinitas for our six year anniversary. It was not exactly the most relaxing weekend on record. It took us 2 hotels and 4 restaurants to finally settle on either. Mostly due to last minute planning and high expectations.
We ended up at the Best Western at Moonlight Beach. This was a great hotel and just right for our little getaway. Our original reservations were made for the Sheraton in Carlsbad but…
Here is a sneak peak at the sesh I had with the Hohenester Family. They are awesome to shoot with and we had a great time.
