{Sweet Sakura Studios} - Princess C | San Diego | Children | Photography

This past month I've had the pleasure of photographing this darling girl and her brother.  Her mom had a wide assortment of dresses and accessories all bright, colorful and custom made as well! I was definitely impressed at her taste for choosing such gorgeous gowns.  This princess had a bright a colorful personality that definitely matched her pretty dresses and energy to match! I hope you enjoy! :)










And, of course, we couldn't have one without her brother, and after many attempts I happened upon this little jewel.<3

{Sweet Sakura Studios} - A Gypsy Girl | San Diego | Inland Empire | Teen | Inspirational | Photography

Walking through the forest, a violin and a suitcase in hand, a look of serenity across her deep brown eyes.  In her heart was a song, a song only she knew, a song full of sweet longing yet mysterious depth of soul.  She was a gypsy girl.

{Sweet Sakura Studios} - "All you need is Faith, Trust, and....Pixie Dust!" | San Diego | Inland Empire | Teen | Photography

This has to be one of my favorite photo sessions done this year.  My beautiful model, Susannah, did an excellent job with conveying the beauty and sweet n' somewhat sassy attitude of the pixie Tinkerbell. I hope you all enjoy these photographs and remember the joys of childhood magic~!

Inspired by Princesses | Mulan


What a perfect way to kick off my new photography inspirational series - Inspired by Princesses with Mulan.  This was totally unexpected and spontaneous for me, as I had come up with the idea just hours before my favorite time of day to shoot.  Using an old costume I had sewn just a year before, it was perfect for bringing the character of Mulan together.  My model, Sarah, had just the right expressions and, of course, I was totally head-over-heels.  I hope you enjoy!

Worship Wednesday - A Delicate Beauty | Capturing His Creation

Spring is almost here! Just a little less than two months away...(which just so happens to be the week of me and my beau's first year together!) ^-^

I just want to share with you some photographs of these beautiful white flowers.  They reminded me of cherry blossoms and I loved how the white flowers contrasted and complimented the rich blue colors of the sky.  Just looking and examining the beautiful creation of these wonderful flowers left me in awe of the Creator of all things.  Trying to wrap my mind over how each and every thing, from the clouds in the sky to the delicate flowers hanging in bundles from the overhanging tree, was created with such detail!


The works of His hand in creation is simply amazing!  My prayer is that you, my readers, will be able to witness the beauty of God's creation and that your hearts will be turned to worship Him who is the Creator of all things! <3

Have a wonderfully blessed week! :)




A song that I am currently loving is Gungor's "The Earth is Yours".  Check it out! You won't regret it! :)
