Ready to see one of my absolute favorite shoots of all time?! So very excited to share this stunner of a “just because” sweetheart shoot in one of the best locations in all of San Diego county – Blacks Beach in La Jolla. Whenever clients agree to trying out this location, I think I literally yelp with glee! It’s a bit of a trek to get to, but so so very worth it.

Kaity and Zach are two very special people – I had the honor of meeting this sweet couple when I photographed their engagement session and wedding. Kaity is also a talented photographer with her own business, so we immediately clicked. I took Kaity on as a second shooter for some of my 2019/20 weddings, and she even offered to model for me for a small styled shoot that was featured on Glittery Bride! It broke my heart to learn that they will be moving to Nashville at the end of the year! However, I’m so excited for them and their next adventure and wish them nothing but the best! I hope you enjoy some highlights from their Blacks Beach sweetheart session!
