Feel Good, Authentic Torrey Pines Romantic Engagement Photos

I met up with Erica and Chris for a stunning engagement session at Torrey Pines State Beach, where they also took time to celebrate their recent pregnancy. We hiked up to the tip-top, and sped (slowly) down to the water just in time for the clouds to show a magnificent cotton candy sunset! It was one of those sunsets you take the time to enjoy and take it all in.

I’m so excited for what’s to come for these two and their wedding in Mexico next year!

Here’s a few favorites:

9 years ago I was diagnosed with stage 3a testicul 9 years ago I was diagnosed with stage 3a testicular cancer. It’s hard to believe it all really happened to me, and it wasn’t just a story I read about someone else. 

There are still bruise marks on my arm from my chemo IV. My hearing isn’t what it used to be, my lungs are probably damaged from chemo, and I will always have scars from surgery.

But I would go through it again if I had to. It’s all been worth it - to breathe again, to chase our girls around. To dream and have hope for the future. 

Even to have the really hard days. Why? Because I can wake up to a new day and try again, and let God’s grace wash over my life. I’m just so grateful to be here.

In honor of World Cancer Day today, I would be remiss if I did not use this platform to encourage everyone to keep tabs on their body and health. Do your regular self checks on the testicular and breast region (and any other key locations), and if you notice anything, make the appointment to get checked out. Men, reach out to me if you have any questions about my cancer journey. Together we can bring more awareness and prevention. 💙 #worldcancerday #testicularcancer
