✨ Class of 2026 ✨

Senior year is right around the corner, and it’s the perfect time to start planning senior portraits!

Between sports, school events, and college prep, senior year flies by—and my calendar fills up quickly. I love working with seniors in Murrieta, Temecula, Menifee, San Diego, and Orange County, creating portraits that capture their unique style and personality.

And here’s a bonus for families who book early: when you schedule your senior’s portrait session before cap & gown arrive, I offer a discounted mini session at graduation so you don’t miss out on that milestone moment, too.

Take a peek at my new blog post to see why now is the best time to reserve your spot.

Let’s celebrate your senior’s big year with portraits you’ll treasure forever!

Why its time to book your senior photos with Developments of Life Photography.

Talk about pressure - a local group that I am in  held a fun event for us a couple weeks ago - The 3-Minute Model Shootout. We each had just three minutes to capture our best image of 6 different models. Then we held the big reveal at  where we shared and compared our images. This is my submission for Model 4.

📸✨ Happy National Photography Day! ✨📸

Today is all about celebrating the power of photographs—the way they freeze time, capture emotions, and turn everyday moments into lifelong memories.

For me, photography isn’t just about images, it’s about connection. It’s the smile between loved ones, the look of pride in a senior’s eyes, the joy of families simply being together. Those are the moments that make my heart light up behind the camera.

I feel so grateful to get to do what I love and to share in your stories. Thank you to all of my wonderful clients and friends who trust me to capture your special moments—it’s truly an honor. 💜

So here’s to the beauty of photos—today and every day!
If you’ve been thinking about updating your family portraits, celebrating a milestone, or just documenting the everyday love in your life, now is the perfect time to reach out.

📷 Let’s make some magic together!

Still smiling from my session yesterday with Rebecca, Chris, their awesome kiddos… and their furry crew! 🐾✨

We had such a great time exploring the park together—full of laughs, sweet moments, and so much spirit from the whole family. And for the first time ever in one of my sessions, we were joined not just by their adorable pup Laika… but their CAT, Luna! 😻 Talk about showing up in style!

I truly love capturing families just as they are—playful, connected, and full of personality. Can’t wait to share more from this beautiful session soon! 💜
