Nicole and I met a few years back at church through some mutual friends. Nicole is just… quality. She’s intentional with both her words and actions. […]

This engagement shoot hits close to home.  No… REALLY close to home.  Yes, Long Beach is close to Fullerton, but that’s not what I mean.  You see…. this beautiful bride to be is my wonderful roommate, Heidi!  And since she’s getting married THIS WEEKEND, I thought I’d better get some of her engagement photos up […]
