This is our Christmas Card….
Evan painted our little scene on a big background and used stands to hold it up. Then I set up the camera on a ladder with a timer to do this self portrait style. We had to do something with our canoe! P.S If anyone is up for a shoot in our canoe, let’s make it happen!
We hope your Christmas was filled with lots of love, laughter and cheer! And Happy New Year!
This was a really fun shoot from awhile ago, which I decided to wait until the summer to post. You might recognize this gorgeous couple from our Oz shoot, their engagement and wedding. Alexandria + Spencer are the epitome of an old fashioned love story so they were the perfect choice featuring Rey Swimwear and Jonah Apparel

You might have seen Jessica’s video where she is speaking on modesty that recently just went viral. Click here to watch. So excited that I shot the images for her book coming out soon.

Dear Amelia,
I met him on the beach.
I was taking an afternoon stroll, saying good-bye to the summer, watching out for surfers and tourists along the sand.
I saw him in his pinstripe swimsuit walking toward me. It was just like you said…It was almost like a dream.
He walked up slowly and smiled….
Ah Life is Sweet.
We walked by the beach and even had candy. We laughed.
There is an intensity about him and when I am with him I feel….cherished.
He is suave but also kind-hearted. We talked for hours and I feel like I learn more about myself the more I know him. It is just like you said. There is something indescribably about it. I feel free, beautiful, completely myself.
He told me that I was not like anyone else, that I had consumed his thoughts. His eyes that told me he meant them.
And then last night, he danced in my dreams. It feels like it is always summer here. I will write again soon my friend.
Thanks for reading our sweet little love story!

Thanks so much to all the wonderful models! I am still working on a few more from this big shoot. Can’t wait to see some of these published soon!
These accessories and dresses (made from real vintage fabric) are available at the Decade 5 shop, along with all these amazing bathing suits!
These gorgeous flower children happen to be my family.. Aren’t they just so beautiful?! This is my Aunt (sister of my mom) and my cousins (I secretly call them Indian princesses, they are too pretty.) I love these pictures so much, I am jealous I don’t have pictures like these with my mom!
So, if you’re like me and want the best gift to give your mom and/or family, I have a few spots left for the marathon sessions on May 4. Hope to see you!
