This spoke to me. I spend a lot of time thinking about love: how we love each other, what the impact of it is, how to love people better. The Greeks had at least six words for different types of love, and only one of them is the type of love we see represented in greeting cards today. Today I’d encourage you to check those out (google “Greek words for love”) and see if you can find a way to practice every one of them today. Make it a fun little game! Tell someone you love that you have discovered a new way you love them! Every kind of love we put into the world makes it a little less lonely for the person we love, even if that person is us. ❤️ Plus, it’s free. :) #valentinesday #sandiegophotographer #sandiegoweddingphotographer #loveyourself #buildempathy #yourlifeasart

One of my favorite things is when family photos and wedding photos coincide. If you’ve got kids participating in your wedding, I promise to carve out a little time for them to play and be themselves. It’s a big day for them, too. ❤️ #sandiegoweddingphotographer #sandiegophotographer #familywedding #weddingwednesday

Hey y’all! I’m Chris. I’m embarking on a new journey with my business, in that I’m going to be sharing more about why I do what I do. The most important thing a photo should do is tell a story, so I thought I’d share one that tells a little story about me. I asked @rachyel.p.magana.photo to take some photos of me in my house so y’all can get to know me better. I said something about straightening up a little, and she said “aren’t you the one who’s always saying people should shoot in their homes as they stare?” And she was right. You can tell so much more about me here. If you know me, you will immediately recognize my signature chipped nail polish and dirty dishes in the sink. You’ll know those pompoms are there because I got them in Peru to hang them on my porch but I keep chickening out about hanging them outside. You’ll know my kid painted that mug for me for Mother’s Day six years ago and I guard it with my life. You’ll know I have maybe too much of a thing for plants. If you didn’t know me, now you kind of do. See how that works? It’s kind of like magic. That’s why I’m a photographer. #motivationmonday #sandiegophotographer

I’m booking weddings for Southern California (and beyond) and still have 2019 dates available! Tag someone who’s getting married who you think would enjoy working with me! ❤️

Just wanted to share one more photo of this gorgeous mama. There’s a whole lot more where that came from! Head on over to the blog to check it out!

Y’all, can we talk about A) how ridiculously bad I want to see this action movie?! And B) how much I want to see someone rock this suit like a badass on their wedding day?! #weddingpantsuit needs to be a thing. #femmegoals

It’s #weddingwednesday! What are you looking forward to most about your wedding day? Or if it’s past, what do you remember most fondly?

It’s such a grey day outside. I needed these pretty, giddy ladies in my life to cheer me up. What’s bringing you joy today? #sandiegoweddingphotographer

It’s been a year since @britcatli and @nowellcatli tied the knot. This day has a lot of different feelings attached to it for them, so rather than simply saying “happy anniversary,” I would like to congratulate them on supporting each other fiercely, and wish them many more years of being enfolded in the kind of love that makes things better even when they are hard. Y’all are #couplegoals for sure. ❤️

In-home sessions will forever hold my heart, but @blacklotusdesign came over and worked her magic and created something otherworldly that I couldn’t have imagined. Here’s one little glimpse into the world these two have made so beautifully theirs. ❤️

I got to meet this rad little dude and he’s already one of my favorite people. I just love it when a family recognizes how special it is, how lucky, that they all have each other! 😍❤️
