There is something so beautiful about the beaches in San Diego. I absolutely love the cliffs in Carlsbad.  I wish they were closer!

They are Stephanie Williams (CA), Clayton Austin (TX), and Trever Hoehne (CA). YOU are now on my list!!! I can't compliment your style and artistic expression enough. I AM MOVED. :) Cannot wait to see what you show in the future!

August 30, 2010 - 5:43 am Jennifer - i love you´re works!!<3

I had the most amazing experience at the Film Is Not Dead workshop in San Diego.  It’s been years since I shot film and Jonathon Canlas was an amazing teacher.  The whole week was such in inspiration!  I see much more film in my future!

Enjoy Patty & Chris’s pasadena engagement session.  I love the soup can telephones!  They brought them along to signify just how much they talked on the phone when they first started dating. I remember those days!
