Happy Birthday Brittany {Newport Beach Family Portraits}

So, today is my little sister’s birthday. I thought I would surprise her with just a few images from the family portraits session we did in Laguna Beach when she came out to visit Sunny Southern California this month! We had a great time for the few days her family was out here – dinner…

Love is in the air {Laguna Beach Engagement Photography}

There is nothing quite so thrilling as being a part of that magic moment when a man takes a knee to ask his love for her hand in marriage…and she says, “yes.” I get chills every time. It’s the very beginning of a new path that two people set out on together. I’ve done this…

Brutus {Orange County Pet Photographer}

It was with utmost pleasure that I had the opportunity to photograph Brutus, who belongs to a very good friend all the way back from high school days! One session actually became many, as Brutus came along to visits at the house, and several visits to the beach with my kids in tow… My kids…

Santa Baby {Orange County Newborn Photographer}

Kristen (this adorable baby’s momma) and I have been friends since we were 12 years old or thereabouts. And not just friends. We drove every morning together to school and seminary, spent many a late night working on school projects and hanging out on the trampoline and when it was time to leave the nest…

Engagement | Orange County | Sneak Peak

Ryan & Michelle are engaged! {Orange County Engagement photos}

I had the awesome opportunity to meet Ryan and Michelle last week and capture some portraits for their engagement and “save the date” cards. They’ll be getting married in Hawaii, so they wanted some way to share their engagement with those friends and family who won’t be able to come to the wedding. Because I…

Back Bay Beauties {Newport Beach Family Photography}

I met Michele earlier this year, when I had the opportunity to take some head shots for her. So I was super excited when she asked me to take some portraits of her children and her niece for their Christmas cards and also for gifts! We met earlier this week, on a warm and golden…

Playdate at Irvine Regional Park {Irvine Children’s Portrait Photographer}

And what better place to meet up for a playdate than Irvine Regional Park? There are trees to climb, ducks to feed, leafy piles to stomp in, playgrounds to visit – and even peacocks to chase. Or to chase you. (If you have food the want). I had a great time with Denzin and his…

Saul comes to Hollywood {Los Angeles Family Photographer}

The lucky mother to this charming little boy just happened to be my little sister’s best friend when we lived in Agoura. There were many days that it seemed like she lived with us! But I haven’t seen her in years and hadn’t ever met her awesome husband or sweet baby. So when I found…

Welcome new addition {Newport Coast Family Portraits}

I’ve had a lot of fun photographing this family over the years… at Tewinkle Park, at Laguna Beach, at Strawberry Farms in Irvine and now at their local park in Newport Coast. Each year has been fun and unique in it’s own way – but what made this year so fun was the new addition…

Picture Perfect {Family Portraits at Mission San Juan Capistrano}

It’s been my privilege to work often with Mr. Hunter this year (in a little bit less fun setting), so I was very pleased to have the opportunity to meet his whole family and take their portraits this Holiday Season! They truly were “picture perfect.” From their impeccably tasteful attire (good job Kimberly!) to their fabulously good…
