The tradition continues – and it keeps getting bigger and better in every way! The Gibbs family has been coming to me every summer since 2008 or 2009 all the way from Ohio for their family portraits on Orange County’s beautiful shores. With the exception of last year – but that was for a great…
The “M” family came out to visit all the way from Texas. It’s been so fun shooting so many families from Texas this year. And my favorite part – they learn their manners well over there in Texas! The kids introduced themselves to me so politely and everyone was just adorable for this session. There’s…
These beautiful girls were visiting from out of state for a softball tournament and thought it would be fun to have their Senior Portraits taken together here with the lovely scenery in Laguna Beach. We met at Heisler Park where we could start with a park-like setting and ended up down on the beach at…
The Cullimore family came to visit from all over and what a fun family to photograph! The morning of their session I woke up looking forward to meeting this large group and felt great. By 10:30 am however I started feeling ill…and by noon I had a fever of 102.6 and could hardly move. I…
This session has been a long time in coming. This family was gifted a session by grandma a few years ago and they didn’t cash in on it right away because mom just felt that her family was not quite complete. Lo and behold, a year or two later sweet little Tessie showed up! Check…
This lucky dad is a good friend of my amazing assistant of many years. He wanted to take advantage of having his three girls to visit for the summer and capture some memories of them before they’re all grown up. I was thrilled to have such gorgeous and easy-going subjects. They made for a fun…
Some of my earliest memories were spending long days on the beach at T-street in San Clemente with this family. My parents became friends with the now-grandparents of this clan way back when I was a toddler, and although we moved away from San Clemente a few short years later, my family always managed to…
Have you ever wondered what a surprise proposal, on one of Orange County’s busiest beaches on arguably the busiest day of the year looks like? I have had the pleasure now of photographing several proposals. Most of the time I am incognito until after he pops the big question, which brings along it’s own…
When Krista called needing a last minute session in Huntington Beach, I wasn’t sure it would work out. I already had some other sessions planned, but since they were coming all the way from Canada, I promised to try and fit them in…and when my other session rescheduled it worked out beautifully! It wasn’t such…
It was January. Not exactly what you think of as the greatest beach weather. But we had friends coming into town – a good friend from my college days at BYU and her family. I couldn’t wait to see her and her hubby again and finally meet her awesome kids! We planned a day of…
This gorgeous family got together for the holidays and I was honored to take their family portraits the day before New Year’s Eve. It was a beautiful winter afternoon at Shaw’s Cove – perfect light, perfect weather and picture perfect subjects! I had met Joanne at a fundraising event and it was fun to reconnect…
My visiting family from Singapore finished up their set of four sessions at the lovely Montage in Laguna Beach, where they were staying for their last few days. I was quite sad our time together was coming to an end. I love when I have so many sessions with a family I feel I…
