Exploring Balboa Park - San Diego.

This week Jamie and I went to Balboa Park. Balboa Park is one of the most popular tourist spots in San Diego, and for good reason; it is covered in lush vegetation, unique pieces of artwork and stunning architecture. We had a relaxing time strolling the grounds and exploring as many nooks and crannies as we could before we lost our light.

If you haven't been to Balboa Park it is absolutely worth the trip.  

Sunset in San Diego.

One of the very best parts of living in San Diego is the sunsets. We have a gorgeous view from our backyard, but I love the times when we head down to the beach to check them out. Last week we happened to be in La Jolla for a photo shoot with a family and decided to stay for the sunset after they left. I'm so glad we did because it was absolutely breath taking.

The USS Kidd returns to San Diego; Happy Homecoming! {Van Nordheim Family}

The first new friend I made when we moved to San Diego was Jennifer. She moved to the same neighborhood the same week I did. We hit it off right away and I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know her over the last 5 months. Not along after we all arrived in San Diego Jennifer's husband, Christian, flew out to join his ship on deployment. Yesterday I spent the morning documenting one of the most cherished events in any military wife's life. Homecoming. I enjoyed spending the day with Jennifer and her kids while we anxiously waited for the USS Kidd to arrive. Once the ship made it in and Christian was safely back on the ground this family was understandably full of joy. And Catherine, their sweet daughter, oh man... once she got in her Daddy's arms she just wouldn't let go. Such a sweet moment for this family and I am so honored that I was able to be there for them and capture it all. Welcome home, Christian!
