Sometimes you meet someone who just carries a natural grace and poise about her that is unmistakable. Such was the case with “K” – she was so natural in front of the camera and such a joy to be around. I loved her fairly modest attire that let her true inner beauty shine through! She…
I was so excited when my good friend and roommate from BYU came down to visit California with her family! I knew I had to find time to see them in my busy schedule, and since my kids love to go to the beach, and her family wanted to go, we decided to meet at…
Gorgeous Stassia recently moved here from the mid-west. Water polo player, big sister, beloved daughter, great student….and fabulous looks – she’s got it all going for her! We had an amazing time last October at the beach, and I couldn’t have asked for a prettier day …or a prettier sunset! Here are just a very…
It was a perfect storm for a perfect shoot….Gorgeous couple, so in love. Check. Beautiful, golden evening light. Check. Not too crowded at Heisler Park and Diver’s Cove. Check. Only one little problem….there was virtually no beach available. It was high tide, and not just any high tide. The tide was so high that it…
So, I get a lot of inquiries from clients coming out to visit from out of state for family reunions. Or clients with large extended families from around here. This one was one of the former. And I get a lot of questions about how those kinds of sessions usually work – with the various…
What better way to mark the passage of time than by capturing it in a portrait that will freeze that moment in time forever? That’s exactly what George, Sheila, Joe, Lindsay, RoseMarie and Diego (the German Shepherd), decided to do in honor of George’s birthday. They came from all over the country and met up…

The unmarried women of Dogpatch got to chase the bachelors and “marry up” with the ones they caught. The…
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,…
I have so much I could say about sweet, beautiful Jordan! She’s accomplished, at ease in front of the camera, thoughtful and kind… not to mention gorgeous! And she came with a wonderful entourage of family and friends! But it’s getting rather late and I have at least one more post I have to get…
This was a very sweet reunion for me – with some of my favorite repeat clients who I look forward to seeing every summer for their portraits when they travel out from Ohio to the sunny shores of Orange County! This was my third year taking their portraits, and I always enjoy hanging with the…
We met at Diver’s Cove or Picnic Beach for round two with the “R” family! This time we got to play with Eve’s side of the family! Little Isabella is so blessed to have so many family members who absolutely adore her! And how can they help themselves! I think it is so fun that…
