Oh, the summer night Has a smile of light And she sits on a sapphire throne. ~Barry Cornwall When I got a phone call from Julie, I was so excited for the chance to photographer her family again! I love when I have returning clients come all the way from out of state. She chose…
This fun family was not only super photogenic – but they had me rolling with laughter from almost the very beginning of our session through the very end! And I love it when a family is up for anything. Usually I have to keep suggesting poses or other combinations I want to try, but not…
I’ve never photographed a wedding I have been so closely involved in. From helping to choose the colors (blue & coral to match the water & sunset), to making the food (my other favorite pastime) to hosting it at my house (which was tricky at best, but hey we made it work)….. I had a…
It’s that time of year again! Time for scouring the markets for great “back-to-school” deals on supplies and clothes. Time for savoring the last remaining days of summer fun (at least where we live). And time for Seniors to get their fabulous senior portraits made for their final year of High School! And I am…
So, I get a lot of inquiries from clients coming out to visit from out of state for family reunions. Or clients with large extended families from around here. This one was one of the former. And I get a lot of questions about how those kinds of sessions usually work – with the various…
Here’s the final installment of the Klarin Family Sneak Peek! They wanted to do something a little bit new and different for a location and they thought the bright white walls of the local high school would contrast nicely with their clothes – and they were right! It was fun for me to shoot in…
After shooting Angelica and Kevin’s engagement portraits, they wanted to know if we could take a few head shots as well for work or portfolio. So we kind of combined the sessions into one and just got a few individual portraits after the couple shots – and they pretty fun and unique. It also helps…
I love that I get to meet so many folks from out of town for my work. And I think that I’ve had more clients from Arizona than any other state this summer! And who can blame them! My own folks live in Arizona and they look for just about any opportunity to come and…
So, this charming family was the winning bidder on my family portrait session auction item for Mariner’s Christian school! And such a lovely and fun loving (and patient) family they are! I say patient, because I have had no end of troubles with my computer systems while trying to get this session edited…and have had…
I had so much fun taking these portraits for Pam and her son Eric and grandson Vitomil – travelling all the way from Easter Europe! Because she needed a morning appointment, when the light isn’t the most flattering, we headed down to the Lab Anti-mall in Costa Mesa, so we could take advantage of the…
I just love photographing families in their homes. Everyone is so comfortable there, and the end result has more meaning it feels like when taken in such a familiar place! And I can even set up my backdrops and lights to get that studio look as well as the home as the background! As an…
I have done so many fun and amazing sessions with this family over the years! Every single time I look forward to it with much anticipation – and this was no exception! We did this marathon family session in segments – we first set up a studio in their impeccably clean garage (seriously – I’ve…
