Love stories. Legacies. life.

My husband is my best friend - I choose him everyday. My daughter is my sweetheart, and a miracle I still can't believe I got to carry within my being. I'm passionate about faith and God's unrelenting fierce pursuit of me still astounds me. I feel most at home when there's coffee brewing and am being serenaded by Ella or Louis ' timeless vocals. My soul comes alive when I get to witness sweet exchanges between two people utterly in love. CELEBRATING is my favorite. And on any given day you can catch me singing along to one of the hundreds of Disney songs forever a part of my brain ;) So how did I end up choosing photography?

"Give me a kiss to build a dream on.. And my imagination will linger with that kiss." - Louis Armstrong One of the BEST parts about your wedding is stealing some sweet time to savor your dream come true. Alba & Henry sure did that as they often would just look at each other in awe. #sophiaelizabethphotography #sandiegowedding #sandiegosunshine #sandiegophotographer #lovestories #besos #kisses #louisarmstrong #sheraton #harborisland #sandiegobay #theknot #weddingwire #ourweddingconnection #socality #risingtide #greenweddingshoes #theweddingchicks #isaidyes #ido #justmarried #engaged
"All the riches in the world couldn't compare to you my love. " You guys! It's Monday. Are you hustle/task driven today or relationship driven? I know it seems kind of counter cultural to say that we should be interupptable. Buuuutttt have ever thought about why we're not? Our successes shouldn't come at the expense of relating to the sea full of precious people around you. The heartbeat behind what I do is 100% people driven. If you know me at any level, you know I work my butt off, I can't not because I'm out to do THE BEST that I can. But to me, real success is connection. Real success is every person I come in contact with to walk away knowing they are precious, they are seen and they are worth everything. I hope you taste a little bit of that today and it causes you to stop and be interupptable.

Heyyyy Yooooouuuu GUYS!!!! PSA: I adore this man right here. 😍💫 Did you know that he was my very FIRST client?! He paid me to photograph his work on a non profit construction project he was heading up. We were just friends at the time and I had to watch him in his element. It was THE moment I fell in love with him. I was proud to be seen with him. Honored to get a glimpse into his heart for others. Thankful to get to partner with him. And now we live life this way! I couldn't be more proud to be his as he is building the foundation of his construction company with hard work, determination & SO much care. He has been my biggest support & I'm so very thankful that I now get to support him in very BIG and sometimes small ways. @rsa619 I love you! What's some meaningful & thoughtfilled ways your SO has supported you? Tag them & share!!!

Sometimes I get to see my dreams come to life in this industry and it makes me speechless.
