My adorable little friend Maren finally got her baby brother! You can see her gorgeous mommy’s maternity pictures here. Unfortunately, our session was right during little Liam’s fussiest time of day (which really wasn’t all that fussy – he is such a good baby) but we weren’t able to get any of my favorite sleeping…
I love it when a family feels so comfortable around me that they can let their guards down and just be themselves during their session. Such was the case this year with the “R” family. Of course, it helps that this was the fourth year in a row of taking their family portraits – they…
This was another fun new family visiting from out of state. They had 5 delightful and well-behaved kids. We met at Wood’s Cove and stayed until well past sunset, just talking and watching the kids play in the waves. In between there somewhere we got in a few shots of the family and the kids…
I have a love/hate relationship with my computer. I certainly spend plenty of time with it! I couldn’t do what I do without it. In fact, I can’t live without it. But sometimes things go wrong, and then, because of my computer, I hate my life! That was the story for the last week and…
I met Hallee and her sister on a warm summer evening as they were down visiting their grandmother in Huntington Beach. Hallee wanted some beach portraits for her Senior Portraits, and she couldn’t have picked a better place than the Balboa Pier at Newport Beach. It was a beautiful day, and Hallee’s natural beauty shone…
Another beautiful family on another beautiful beach with beautiful light… what a fun job I have! And the love this family has for each other shines through in each and every image! Trying to keep things short so I can get more posts up, but the pictures sort of speak for themselves here anyways.
What a fun family this was – 7 children, 18 grandchildren… and around 34 or so people all together – I lost count after a while! And a beautiful family at that…all of them! All together at the beach for a fun day in the sun! We photographed one family after another and finally everyone…
So, my favorite twins are moving… to the Temecula Valley (Aguanga to be exact). I am going to miss them and our almost monthly visits with my camera greatly! It has been so much fun to see them grow, and their unique little personalities develop. They have blossomed into beautiful young ladies – they are…
This weekend, my daughter was baptized, and what a wonderful occasion that was! I am so proud of her and the choices she is making! And I am so grateful for all the support of family and friends who came to witness it! And especially grateful to my in-laws for all of their help and…
I had a great time a couple of weeks ago, snapping some shots for some friends of the family. Karl and my husband were roommates from freshman year in college and have kept in touch ever since. We have spent many a birthday party, 4th of July, and blessings and baptisms together. As well, as…
Eight years ago to this day, I became the mother to a daughter. What a wonderful joy and adventure this has been! Kate is a shining light to all that know her, and one of the joys of my life. She has a very open, giving and friendly personality. Sharing has always come easily to…
So, when our good friends, the Llewellyn family, came out to visit us and bring their family to Disneyland this spring, we were so excited to see them. And though they had a pretty packed week, I mentioned that I would be happy to fit in a photo session while they were here. The only…
