May 15, 2018 by Christine Tustin in family, Maternity, newborn, San Diego

When you find out your friends are having a baby what is your automatic reaction?

Tami + John Roaming Sunset Cliffs and Ocean Beach | Engagement Session

February 09, 2018 by Christine Tustin in 2018 Weddings, Engagement, San Diego, Ocean Beach, Sunset Cliffs, wedding

You know when you meet someone whether in person, email, social media, phone call, and you can tell pretty quickly if you will get a long with them well? Tami was like that for me. Maybe she's like that for a lot of people, I can definitely see that because she's so stinking sweet and likable. How can you not just want to pursue a conversation with her?

November 28, 2017 by Christine Tustin in Engagement, San Diego, San Diego Proposal

Two pilots. one destination. They have been dating for years and met up for a little weekend getaway in San Diego. Little did Michaela know that Michael was hard at work planning out this sweet Sunset Cliffs proposal. This sounds like the plot of a movie I would definitely opt for on a Friday night in.

Rachel and Mike married at Jurassic Park | The Ranch at Bandy Canyon

November 12, 2017 by Christine Tustin in wedding, 2017 Weddings, Fall Wedding, San Diego

The birds were making their presence known and it was the perfect temperature. The girls were poppin' champagne and the guys were getting settled into their cabin with food and bevs. Honestly, I think the best way to describe this day is that it was bursting at the seams with love. Beautiful, genuine, emotional love.

How to Nail Your Engagement Session || Notes from Behind the Camera

July 17, 2017 by Christine Tustin in Engagement, San Diego, wedding

When you're not used to being in front of a camera other than an iPhone or maybe even at all, a photography session may seem pretty intimidating. I wouldn't expect you to know what you're doing or feel comfortable "modeling," because chances are you don't do that for a living. When you're comfortable in your surroundings that takes at least one scary factor out of this equation. When you're comfortable, you're more you.
