Sometimes the stars align and you’re lucky enough to have perfect weather, a nearly empty gorgeous Mission, glorious light and perfectly styled & naturally beautiful people to photograph. This was one of those days. Mom styled her beautiful family perfectly – I love how the yellow pops against the blue. Sweet baby “D”, who turned…
So… I didn’t offer Halloween mini sessions this year because time (and life) just got away from me. But when a friend told me about her idea to dress her family up for Halloween as characters from The Greatest Showman, I really couldn’t resist. I’m not a big movie watcher, but so many friends and…
It was time to update photos for this lovely family! They came to me three years ago, when their oldest daughter was the age their youngest daughter is now. Around 7-8 months has to be my favorite age to photograph little ones! They are able to sit solidly on their own, but can’t yet run…
I can’t think of a better reason to document a moment in time than that of getting a new puppy. Because what could be cuter than a newly adopted puppy and the family who loves him? Puppies grow and change so fast and when they are full grown it’s hard to remember how adorable and…
I had the pleasure of capturing this family’s first portrait at the beach way back five years ago when they were visiting California on vacation. It was sweet little “J’s” first time at the beach and she loved it! Fast forward 5 years and they came back – with two more cute kiddos and all…
Amelia is the face of the Juvenile Arthritis Foundation. The foundation needed a “country western” themed photo for a promotion they are running. So we put together a last minute country western setting and brought in some of my very favorite “props” – my very photogenic show horse Nugget and Tom the barn cat (it…
Sometimes the stars all align to make for the perfect family portrait session: beautiful November weather, perfect light, stunning subjects and add in a beautiful little girl and bounding Golden Retriever dog and as long as you’ve brought help along, you can’t help but end up with beautiful results! We had so much fun capturing…
This lovely family was given a gift certificate for a session as a gift and I think I was the lucky recipient on this deal. Two perfectly adorable children and a loving mom and dad made for picture perfect portraits right in their Newport Coast home. Their sweet little girl is sure to keep mom…
I have been “shooting” this family for, I think, six or seven years now, and they truly are more like friends than clients. I look forward to seeing them every year and they always take such beautiful portraits! I was super excited that they wanted to try out my latest theme idea, which was Christmas…
I’m so happy to have met this beautiful family and their lovely (and well behaved) children! They joined another family for a “Christmas on the beach” themed session that involved carting a tree and all of the trimmings down to Little Corona Beach in Newport Beach. We were blessed with fabulous November weather, and the…
Our original session date threatened rain, and to be on the safe side we pushed it out a bit. Well, we couldn’t have been happier – with the glowing light, the warm-as-summer weather, the charming subjects and the fun last-minute-location! I hope you enjoy this photogenic and lovely family as much as I did!
