Oceanside, CA San Diego Senior Teen Photographer | Bridget's Senior Session

This was Bridget's second time in front of my camera. She's an East Coast girl with West Coast family, so during her more recent visit to the Golden State, she decided it would be a great opportunity to take her Senior photos. She'd already done the yearbook headshot, so we got to have some fun and relax at the beach and pier. I managed to persuade mom, Cheryl, to jump into a couple pics too ! Gotta have those ! Another gorgeous 70°F Winter's day California !

Old Town San Diego Engagement Photo Session {San Diego Wedding Photographer} - Celia and Matthew

Celia & Matthew met when he was working at Casa Guadalajara in Old Town San Diego and remained friends over the years even after Matthew moved up to Northern California. Friendship turned to romance and they started dating long distance flying back and forth for a while until Matthew moved back to San Diego and things got serious. Like, "he put a ring on it" serious ! 
So we decided to revisit their old stomping grounds and head to Old Town for their Engagement Session ! It was a gorgeous warm San Diego Winter's day but the Superbowl kept the crowds at home ! It was so great getting to know this adorable couple better and I am really looking forward to their wedding this April at Tom Ham's Lighthouse in San Diego. 

  

New Year 2016 Resolutions {San Diego Wedding Photographer}

Gosh ! I can't believe another year has begun ! I guess I'll jump on the bandwagon and make a few general resolutions for the next year. 

Like a lot of creative professionals, I go through phases of self doubt and feelings of unworthiness, so I am going to try and work more on my self confidence. I am going to be more brave. If I want to try something, I'm going to try to set aside my embarrassment and introvertedness and just do it. I get bogged down with filling my time with either work or couch-sitting and TV watching and then feel guilty when I realized I've missed out on doing something I really love. I want to make time to sing, and maybe start playing an instrument again. I want to get outside and go camping more. I want to eat less carbs and sugar, eat more greens and exercise more. 

Ok, maybe I should stop there. Baby steps ...

Who's with me ? Let's be brave together this year !
