Brittany and her babies are so much fun to photograph! She is such an amazing mama to her littles. These kiddos are so sweet, full of tons of joy, and love their mama so so much. I had a blast taking these pictures, and am so excited for Brittany as she is expecting her next baby soon! Congratulations girl to you and your family!!

Fall family mini sessions in Murrieta are one of my favorites to photograph, especially when they are this cute! This was just after the fires last year, and I found a spot that wasn't affected, thankfully! But literally right behind me are acres and acres of burnt trees and land... so sad! I am so excited for next fall when everything is even greener and recovered from those fires!
Thank you so much for letting me capture these sweet photos for you Varwig, family! I had such a great time and I love how these turned out! I hope to work with you again soon! -Karissa Imagine with me.. the quiet, serene, and enchanting drive up Palomar Mountain, on the way to Justin and Christina's wedding. Stepping out of your car and being hit with the crisp air and refreshing smells. The quietness this mountain day held was peaceful and inviting. The rustic decor, the sound of the birds chirping, the sound of the trees blowing in the wind, and all the amazing smells of pine trees... Add the sweetest couple in the world, and there you have the perfect wedding day combo for Justin and Christina! Christina spent the morning getting ready with her girls upstairs, while Justin was downstairs with the guys. Each equally as excited and nervous- asking how the other is doing. Meanwhile, the gorgeous setup is taking place just outside their windows by a team of friends, and their coordinator friend, Torri (who is amazing by the way). As the ceremony began, and the procession continued, one of Christina's flower girls held a note. This note was from Christina for Justin- we don't know what it said, but we know it made him smile- as he held back tears and looked up to see his bride coming towards him. Their vows to each other were so beautifully written, heartfelt, and gave glory to God! Nearly all of the guests were wiping tears from their eyes listening to these two share their love for each other. They also shared their first kiss together when they were named as husband and wife during the ceremony- how sweet is that?! And what an epic dip kiss too! The rest of the night was full of so much joy, laughter, and fun. Their bridal party hoisted them both up onto chairs and carried them onto the dance floor during one of the songs! A bonfire, yummy cheesecake, and heartfelt speeches were all had during their beautiful mountain top sunset reception! Followed by their amazing grand exit - chandeliers held up by each guest as they raced through the tunnel and into their getaway car! This day couldn't have been anymore perfect. Justin and Christina, Taylor and I are beyond thankful for having a part in documenting your wedding day. It was what wedding dreams are made of.... full of love and full of Jesus! You two are just so sweet and so kind. Your relationship is a beautiful example for Christ. We pray that you will be blessed with a life full of grace and love as you daily grow deeper together! We wish you all the best on your adventures in marriage, we hope you are loving married life so far, and we can't wait for the next time we get to work with you! Thank you bunches! Much love, The Morgans Vendor Team:

These photos are off the charts full of romance and connection. Their love is so evident and it was a joy to photograph. We explored the mountain and chased the light together.
