Running on the grass, going for a walk around Balboa Park, playing frisbee and just hanging out with your best friend….sounds like the perfect day. And I think for Colby, this black retriever, it was. Both Julia and I love dogs. Our yellow lab, Roxy, is always laying at our feet when we are on...

Gapusan family | Pacific Beach family photographer
I have to admit that I walked into this session with mixed emotions. I always get a little nervous/ excited before a shoot, but taking family photos for another photographer can turn the nervous setting up a few notches. On the other hand, Arlene is a good friend and her family is as easy going...

Kids, dogs, and family – sneak-peek | San Diego Photographer
