On a scouting gig, I found myself on this road from the desert floor near Palm Springs to the top of the mountains where it was quite cool and forested.

I’ve only been to Salvation Mountain, near the Salton Sea, but both times was able to meet Leonard before he passed. The second time I went, our group offered to help paint and he said “yes!” So we did.

When I happened upon this building, I liked the starkness of it set against the southern California blue sky.

When I was paragliding first time ever, I felt nothing, but beauty. You are alone with the ocean under paraglide wing and wind all over you

I was in the middle of some fun with my kids when I noticed how incredible the sunset was. And that is why I dropped everything, grabbed my camera, and captured one of my favorite shots over the ocean. It’s not really spectacular in terms of the setting and that’s the point. That you don’t need to be wowed by the destination. Just an ordinary beach and waves with an extraordinary golden hour moment to enjoy. That’s life.

The scapes we saw conveyed an otherworldly terrain. The entire park; though straight in the middle of the desert felt rather lifeless; it was when you stopped and started hiking you found there was much more than meets the eye.

I was in California for an extended weekend and decided to walk out on the pier at sunset. Not many people were in the water but this man looked determined to catch some waves.

I have recently discovered that a combination of SURFING and CREATING is something that is essential for me. Not only to keep in good physical health (surfing), but to keep in good mental health. Thus making creating and surfing a deadly combo that will make my soul thrive. At the time of uploading this, I took this photo the morning of, where I surfed and created. Let this photo be the marker of a new beginning. A beginning where I start living the rest of my life in an effective manor!

Her mom said, “wanna go to the beach?” She was tired. Ready for a nap. But the word beach gave her a bit of energy. The thought of walking on the sand and looking out into the sunset made her very soul come to life. She mustered up whatever strength she had to get up, out of bed, out of the tent, and into the car to head there. When she got there, the beach did not disappoint–the colors in the sky reflected off of the sand, the chill the waves left after receding into the ocean. The movement was worth it.

Every lesson we learn can be found in nature. The richness of color, the waves which live and die and rejoin the ocean to create more life, the peaceful calm, the beauty, and how small we are when we stand at the water’s edge in the vastness of our beautiful universe. How grateful to be a part

Walking as far down the OB pier in San Diego as I could to catch the Father’s Day sunset. I kept pace with this guy who was really enjoying his evening stroll.

Winter sunsets in San Diego are my favorite. They have a flare that you don’t get in other places and if you embrace it you discover colors, textures and lighting you would otherwise miss.

While hiking Mt. Ryan in Joshua Tree National Park we saw a curious group of figures in the distance. Looking closer, we were able to see a group of people taking turns walking a tight rope between a mountain slope and a huge boulder. It wasn’t until I looked at this photo on my computer that I realized there were so many people present.

My sister and I found this awesome little slot canyon among Joshua Tree’s numerous rock formations. It was so cool exploring this spot. This little canyon reminds me of the insanely beautiful ones found in Antelope Canyon, which is pretty high on my bucket list of places to go ASAP. We love exploring, and I feel like this photo encompasses that.

After watching the sunset fall behind the hills we headed back running up and down the sand hills getting pelted with sand in the face.

Out in Yucca Valley, by Joshua Tree is one of my favorite outdoor art installations by Noah Purifoy. You get to wander around a pretty desolate area and explore this surreal and eerie site.

This couples engagement photos started at the ocean and of course it only fits that their wedding was at the ocean as well!

At first when I heard that the wedding I’d be shooting was at a public swimming pool I was a bit skeptical. However, when I arrived at the the venue I was blown away by the beauty and simplicity of the spot.
