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…
Well, I can’t exactly say that my daughter, Kate, was the Teacher’s Pet in Mrs. “W”s class… but if there is an opposite favorite relationship (favorite teacher) – then Mrs. “W” would certainly be a “student’s pet” with my daughter Kate. Kate just adores her teacher from last year, and so she was extra thrilled…
Was super excited to see the “V” family again this year as not only were they super gorgeous to photograph the last time around (I mean, can you believe those gorgeous eyes?), but they also had a new little addition for me to meet! And while I didn’t think it would be possible, he was…
I am up to my eyeballs in editing right now – mostly scrumptious families like this delightful one – and “bring it on” I say – I just can’t get enough. I love seeing all of these lovely families interact and the camaraderie and tenderness they share. And the “R” family especially – they are…
Yep – there is a first time for everything. Since they live here locally ( in Costa Mesa), I was surprised that this was baby “J”s first time at the beach! And what a cold and gloomy introduction it was. But that’s okay! He was still fascinated by the sand and the water – taking…
November is a great time to remember all that we’ve been blessed with, and certainly family tops that list for many people. Is surely does for me! And I love capturing the special moments that happen in our families – holding hands walking along the beach, making a little sister giggle, rolling down a grassy…
Had the loveliest time with Rachel and her mom, who wanted to give her a special gift of portraits to celebrate the beautiful daughter she has inside and out! We started out in the park area at Heisler Park before venturing down to the sandy shores of Picnic Beach. Couldn’t have asked for nicer weather,…
When Daniel called me up to tell me about his plan to fly out from New York and propose to his girlfriend, Liz, on the beach – and have it all recorded secretly without her knowledge, I was super excited! I have done several of these now, and they are always so much fun! …
Meet Eliza, who rocked her senior portrait session, which we held right after her mom’s wedding ceremony (why not kill two birds with one stone, right?) I mean seriously, could she be any more beautiful? I don’t think so. And man thanks to her sister who helped out with some tricky lighting situations! She made…
There is something so simple and so classic and so laid back about beach weddings! And this one was no exception…So casual and fun, with a tight and intimate group of family and friends to witness the union of two very warm and caring individuals. If only all beach weddings could be held just a…
After finishing studio portraits in their Huntington Beach home (see previous post), we decided to venture out to the beach for some more casual, relaxed portraits. But our usual sunny August weather was quickly disappearing as a huge & ominous cloud bank came rolling in from the South. We headed North away from Huntington Beach…
I was so delighted when a client from one of my favorite sessions from last year called me up to have portraits taken again this year. Last year it was with her niece and nephew – this year with her husband and four adorable Lhaso Apso dogs! All of them were totally adorable, and apparently very…
