Tiniest World Traveler {Laguna Beach Family Portraits}

I often spend my summer photographing families travelling from out of town to the beach. This summer I had several from Utah, Arizona, Nevada, Ohio, Michigan, and even Alaska, among other places. But this family has to win the award for traveling from the furthest away! They came all the way from Singapore! We scheduled…

More family fun at the Huntington Beach Pier {Huntington Beach Photographer}

I know the title isn’t terribly clever – it could very well be “Family Fun at the Huntington Beach Pier #7” this summer! Indeed I feel like Huntington Beach has been my second home lately – I’m there several evenings a week. But really, this family couldn’t have picked a more beautiful spot to have…

Family Fun at the Pier {Huntington Beach Family Portrait Photographer}

I was immediately captivated by the adorable kids during this session – they were quick to make friends and they got such a kick out of my squeaky chicken! And their uncles dancing away behind me! It was a crowded day at the Huntington Beach Pier, but as usual, we had beautiful light and…

Welcome to Cali… {Huntington Beach Family Portrait Photographer}

This has been my busiest and most fun family portrait season ever, with lots of families visiting from out of town! Many years, it seems as though a pattern develops for the year… well this year I have done a whole lot of families from Utah at the Huntington Beach pier! It’s almost uncanny! Especially…

Against all odds {Laguna Beach Senior Portraits}

There were plenty of challenges to overcome with this session, including a very thick marine layer (read lots of dark gloomy skies), fairly frigid temperatures for the month of June, almost zero shoreline to be had due to a very high tide and waves that nearly swallowed all of us whole! Yet Kelsey and her…

Family Portraits at Wood’s Cove

Yep. Couldn’t think of a more original title for this post – it must be getting late! I’ll just let the images of this session speak for themselves – truly a fun and beautiful family!

Let the good times roll! {Laguna Beach Senior Portraits}

Had a great time with this lovely teenager for her Senior Portraits. We combined the Senior Portraits with a family session, but I always feel that a Senior should get their own spotlight -and their own little chance to shine. So she’ll get her very own blog post and I’ll put the family pictures up…

Buckeye Bound {Laguna Beach Senior Portraits}

Beautiful Lindsay and her equally lovely family hail from the state of Ohio -and she will be Ohio State Bound this fall… We had a fabulous time playing in the sand and sunshine at Wood’s Cove and capturing her bright and sparkling personality , which shone through in everything she did. Enjoy your “Sneak Peak”…

Warm Weather Retreat {Laguna Beach Family Portraiture}

The “H” Family escaped the cold weather of Ohio to vacation here in Sunny Southern California- and while they were here, their daughter really wanted to have her Senior Portraits done at the beach. That seems to be a very popular idea for those travelling from out of town! While they were here, I suggested…

Casual Wedding Photographs at Diver’s Cove {Laguna Beach Wedding Photography}

These have to have been about the most carefree and relaxed wedding photographs ever! Just two beautiful people in love and enjoying every moment of their wedding day – no other family, friends, parties to go to… just enjoying being with one another – and having a great time with me, I might add! We…

Beautiful Memories… {Orange County Photographer}

I was contacted about a month ago by this family who wanted to capture some special portraits of their family and their beloved pets when one of their dogs was diagnosed with cancer. They didn’t know how much time they had left, and wanted to remember the beautiful spirit of and relationships they have with…

Painting with Light {Huntington Beach Family Portrait Photographer}

There is something so beautiful about the beach after a big storm… the quality of light is almost always beautiful. But this evening was not just beautiful, it was golden! After several times rescheduling due to rain, we got an evening of clear skies and gorgeous light. And it doesn’t hurt to have an incredibly…
