There were plenty of challenges to overcome with this session, including a very thick marine layer (read lots of dark gloomy skies), fairly frigid temperatures for the month of June, almost zero shoreline to be had due to a very high tide and waves that nearly swallowed all of us whole! Yet Kelsey and her…
These have to have been about the most carefree and relaxed wedding photographs ever! Just two beautiful people in love and enjoying every moment of their wedding day – no other family, friends, parties to go to… just enjoying being with one another – and having a great time with me, I might add! We…
Kevin traveled from afar to have his Senior Portraits at the beach (from Nebraska, to be exact), and then from Santa Monica, where he was staying down to Orange County to come see me! To have a little bit more variety, I suggested starting off somewhere with a more urban look and then heading to…
This was probably one of my most memorable sessions of the year for many reasons! I hadn’t ever met this family before – they were on vacation from out of state – but I connected with them immediately. The first thing I saw as they approached me on the beach was a large group of…
I was excited to meet Heather and her adorable family – traveling all the way from Canada for a week or two of warmth and sunshine here in Orange County! They were so fun-loving and photogenic too! We really hit it off and at the end of the session her husband told me that she…
I love when kids figure out at an early age that the best gifts they can give their parents is something to remember them by. Whether the classic clay hand print with the little poem that goes with it, or the drawing of rainbows and flowers with the “I love you” note attached – my…
I couldn’t think of any other title to sum up this post. So many beach sessions, and all very similar locations, but so much fun to meet so many different people and learn their stories! This was an aunt whose niece and nephew were coming from out of state to visit. And she planned a…
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.
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…
This was probably my most highly anticipated shoot of the year – ’cause sweet Sedona is the darling daughter of an old high school friend that I hadn’t seen for 15 years! She currently lives in Las Vegas, but was coming out to visit her father in Irvine, so she contacted me on FB and…
Well this is a long overdue sneak peak for the “A” Family! They are friends visiting from out of town of another beautiful family – they came out for their son’s graduation from UCI! They decided to get some family portraits while they were out here, and I am so glad that they did! We…
When I first arrived at the beach, on an early June morning, I had hopes that it would be a “no-gloom” kind of a day. But as I awaited the arrival of the “O” family, a chilly wind came up, bringing the clouds with it. So, as you can guess, it was not the most…
