2024 Photography Highlights: Memories and Milestones Captured in San Diego and Beyond
2024 was a whirlwind of milestones and memories—not just for me, but for so many incredible people I had the honor of photographing. From life-changing proposals to golden hour adventures, it was a nonstop celebration of love, laughter, and everything in between. Let’s take a look back…
Moments That Made Me Ugly Cry
Hosted my first-ever Mini Session Day for personal branding portraits—and cried happy tears when it sold out.
Was flown to Oregon to capture an entire engagement weekend for my friends who proposed to each other (I love the PNW).
Made the big leap and returned to photography full-time. It’s like coming home—except home is a camera bag and 200 unread emails (living the dream).
Photographed my friends’ pregnancy announcement, and I’ve never been more honored to keep a secret.
Shot my cousin’s senior portraits at sunrise—a family tradition.
Checked off a bucket list item: Engagement session at Joshua Tree National Park. Think golden light, epic landscapes, and a couple so cute I almost forgot to take the pictures (kidding... kind of).
The Stats
17 proposals 💍
12 portrait sessions ✨
Second-shot 7 unforgettable weddings 🌿
Published 14 blog posts
Welcomed back 9 incredible repeat clients who trust me time and time again (I love you!)
Looking Ahead to 2025
This year, I’m dreaming big. I hope to host another day of mini sessions, book some shoots outside of Southern California, but more than anything, I can’t wait to keep capturing life’s most beautiful moments with all of you—whether it’s your first session with me or your fifth. Here’s to a year of new adventures, achievements, and storytelling.
Pro tip: If you’re thinking about booking in 2025, now’s the time! January sessions are already filling up—grab your spot here.
I’m beyond grateful for every laugh, every tear, every dance floor moment, and every ounce of trust you’ve given me this year.
2025 is already shaping up to be an amazing year. I’m so excited to see familiar faces and meet new ones. Whether it’s your first photoshoot or your fifth, a celebration of love, or just a moment you want to freeze forever, I’m here for it!
Sending you big hugs, golden light, and all the good vibes as we step into the new year.
Cheers,
Mallory
