Jesse and Malindas Beau Pre golf course wedding was absolutely beautiful. The guys started out the day with some early morning golf, while the girls all got ready together at a perfectly decorated private residence. The bridesmaids planned a surprise party bus trip to Round Table because Malinda loves Round Table Pizza. It was standing […]

Taryn is one of my 2020 senior reps. Not only is she at the top of her class at Fortuna High School, she is also super sweet. We traveled down to one of my favorite river locations in Southern Humboldt and shot some beautiful shots in the sunshine. The river is always nice and warm […]
