Big Sur holds a special place in Erik and Marisa’s hearts. They invited my husband and I to join them for a weekend away with them camping among the beautiful redwood trees and to photograph their Engagement photos there. We quickly said “Yes!” and packed our bags for the mountains.
We arrived late at night and were greeted at the campsite with champagne, hugs and the exciting news that Marisa was pregnant with their firstborn son due in May! Seriously cried, I am so happy for them!!
Erik and Marisa are basically professional campers. They have it down. Not just the camping but the gourmet open fire cooking. They completely spoiled Trav and I. We woke up to yogurt parfaits and Russian Coffee (cheers Erik!) and for dinner they roasted a turkey with potatoes, veggies and stuffing on the side. I never new you could do so much with cast iron!!
It was my first time really experiencing Big Sur camping and I can see why they love it so much. Every where you look is breathtaking and the clean crisp air so rejuvenating.
Erik and Marisa, I am so ridiculously happy for you. So many exciting things happening with your new house, first child and soon to be husband and wife. Congratulations dear friends! We love you!!
Life’s full of adventures… especially for Erik and Marisa!! They just bought their first house, are engaged and expecting their first child! So happy for these two wonderful souls.
Incredible to see the red sands of Pfieffer Beach!
We ate so good this trip. Some of the best stuffing I’ve ever had was made over a bonfire under the beautiful redwoods of Big Sur. Thanks chefs Marisa and Erik!! What amazing hosts you two are! Thank you for spoiling us!
The soft clouds added a dreamy look to Prachee + Brian’s beach wedding. So happy for them! ...
Prachee + Brian had an intimate wedding ceremony on the beach in San Clemente. Everyone held their breath as the tide came closer and closer as they said their vows but the couple embraced it and put their feet in the water after! 💕 ...

I just hit 30 weeks pregnant and as my belly gets bigger, I get more out of breath, battle being hangry too often, and take more naps, I don’t always feel my best. @camrynclairphoto did some maternity photos for me and made me feel so beautiful and celebrated. It was such a gift and I’m so thankful for these photos to cherish this beautiful, awkward, wonderful new experience.
Sweet baby sunshine, we can’t wait to meet you and show you this beautiful world! ☀️💛 ...
This years Motherhood Photo Event was so special! I loved celebrating all these moms and moms-to-be!! Big shout out to @makeupbykaitlynweathers for glamming up my girls, @devynsdressrentals and @camstudios_oc ...
What’re your nicknames for each other? David calls Brooke his little Honey Bee! She wears the name proudly with a little bee in her hair. 😍
I love it when my husband calls me Jan-Cakes.
