🌅 Last Chance for July Silver Lake Dune Sessions! 📸

We've had a couple of unexpected openings become available this week, and this is your chance to capture your family's summer memories before our calendar fills into August!

📅 Thursday, July 23
✨ 7:00 PM
✨ 7:30 PM

Whether you've been saying, "We should really get family pictures this year," or you've been waiting for the perfect time... this is it.

Silver Lake isn't just where you vacation—it's where traditions are made. It's where grandparents bring their grandchildren to experience the same dunes they explored decades ago. It's where sunsets become memories and one photo can tell the story of generations.

Don't let another summer come and go without preserving it.
After these two sessions are booked, our next Silver Lake availability won't be until August.

📩 Send me a message today to claim one of these last two July sessions before someone else does!

Capturing the moments you'll treasure long after the footprints in the sand have disappeared. ❤️

🌅 Some places become more than a vacation spot… they become part of your family's story.

A couple of weeks ago, we had the privilege of photographing an incredible family celebrating 50 years of marriage. For the grandparents, Silver Lake has been their home away from home since the early 1970s. What started as family vacations decades ago has grown into a tradition that now spans generations—children, grandchildren, laughter, memories, and a place they all cherish together.

That is what makes Silver Lake so special.

It's more than sand dunes. It's where families reconnect, traditions continue, and moments become lifelong memories.

📸 We'll be photographing on the dunes again on Thursday, July 23, and we have just THREE session times available:

✨ 6:00 PM✨ 6:30 PM✨ 7:30 PM

After these are booked, our next Silver Lake dune availability won't be until August.

Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, gathering the whole family, capturing your kids while they're still little, or simply preserving another summer at your favorite place, don't let another season slip by without documenting it.

The sunsets fade. Kids grow. Summers come and go.

The memories deserve to last forever.

Send us a message today to reserve one of the remaining July 23 sessions before they're gone. ❤️📸

🎓❤️ Some moments are simply priceless.

Today, I had the incredible honor of photographing the Grant High School Class of 1958 together once again.

Just pause and think about that...

More than six decades after walking the halls of Grant High School, these classmates are still gathering, still laughing, still sharing stories, and still celebrating friendships that have stood the test of time.

As a photographer, these are the sessions that remind me why I love what I do. It's about so much more than taking pictures—it's about preserving history, honoring lifelong friendships, and creating memories that future generations will cherish.

A special thank you to Kick Start Grill & Cafe llc for hosting this year's reunion and providing such a wonderful place for classmates to reconnect and celebrate the memories they've shared throughout the years.

To the Grant High School Class of 1958—thank you for trusting me to preserve this incredible milestone. Your friendship, laughter, and legacy are truly inspiring. ❤️

📸 If you've been thinking about gathering your family, classmates, or lifelong friends for a portrait, don't wait. These moments only become more meaningful with time.

🐾❤️ The dunes, their dogs, and the sweetest couple... what more could you ask for?

Sydney and Patrick absolutely rocked their session at Silver Lake! Between the breathtaking dunes, perfect evening light, and their two pups joining in the fun, this session couldn't have been more perfect.

The best photos happen when you're simply being yourselves in a place you love—and for these two, the dunes are exactly that.

🌅 Have you been dreaming about your own Silver Lake dune session?

Whether it's a couple's session, engagement, family photos, seniors, or bringing along your four-legged best friend, we'd love to capture your story.

📅 We are now booking summer and fall Silver Lake Dune Sessions! Reach out today to reserve your date before the calendar fills up.
