This super lovely family was all together from all over for the Labor Day holiday and had the wonderful idea to have their family portraits taken while they were all together. Of course as it often tends to be, Labor Day weekend was one of the hottest weekends of the year, and most of the…
This was a fun little session with a pair of best friends from high school! These photos were taken for one gal, Jessica’s birthday! What a fun birthday gift. And even more fun to share in it with her friend. Scheduling was the most difficult part of this session – between dance practice, birthday parties,…
Just a quick little sneak peek from a session early this morning at the Huntington Beach Pier. This lovely family came all the way from Arizona and were willing to be up with me at the crack of dawn – and we were rewarded with the most beautiful light and colors – and a nearly…
I absolutely adore shooting with my repeat clients – the ones who come back year after year after year. The ones who really feel more like friends now than clients. I love catching up with them and seeing how their children have grown. I can’t believe both of these gals are in school now! They…
This much anticipated “sneak peek” comes for a family that couldn’t be sweeter! I met them for a family session in 2010 in Temecula when their baby was just a newborn…it’s fun and amazing to see how everyone has grown (I got to see them again a year and a half ago for Valentine’s portraits…
I had the honor of attending the wedding of Paul and Candace today as the photographer, witness and only guest. What a privilege that was…to spend this most special day with them and share in their joy, laughter and love. And there was lots of all of that going around. I was lucky enough to…
It’s amazing to me how I can sometimes show up at the beach and still have what feels like an entire beach to ourselves – a private beach almost, in summer in beautiful Laguna Beach. This was one of those days. I was super excited for this session, because I had so much fun with…
While I love the dreamy feeling evoked by these portraits by the pier, in reality it was a cold and windy last day of May. This baby, who travelled all the way out from Tenessee, was such a good sport however, and really seemed to enjoy the sand and the waves, in spite of the…
I’ve known most of these kids since they were teeny tiny babies – I have photos of the oldest boy and my middle daughter together when they were two…and now they are in the same class at school! Mom wanted to do a secret, surprise session to surprise dad with some neat images for Father’s…
I had so much fun catching up with Daley Erickson, who will very soon be launching a new website for her awesome new business, and is, as she puts it, “a happy wife and mother, health advocate and Personal Power Planner helping people meet their goals and craft their very best lives.” She’s also a…
Yes, summer is coming. And with it the plethora of portrait sessions at the beach! Many of those I do each year are from families out of town. But this session was from a local Irvine family who needed a portrait to hang on the wall in time for company coming to town! I loved…
