I had the pleasure of shooting Zachary’s missionary photos a couple of month’s ago. He was preparing to serve a mission for the LDS church in New Zealand. This gorgeous family wanted to get a nice family portrait taken before he left for two years in October. As is usually the case when preparing for something…
Lucky me. I get to look forward to seeing this family every year. We hang out, catch up on our families, see how much these boys have grown (it’s hard to believe I started photographing these guys when the middle kiddo was just a little baby) and take a few photos in the process. Last…
I was friends with Adam back in college – we went to BYU together, and I recently reconnected with him and his super lovely wife and kids when I took my own kids on a fun road trip up the coast that took us through their home town of Solvang. We had so much fun…
As I rounded the bend on the windy, tree-lined road, I knew this was going to be worth the hour + drive and 5:30 am wake-up call. I always enjoy photographing clients in their own homes because #1. there’s no other place that holds more personal meaning and significance than one’s own home. Which makes…
It was a beautiful golden morning – we got started early (very early – like 6:45 am) because that’s when sweet baby Penelope is happiest and the light is most beautiful! There aren’t a lot of things that will motivate me to get out of bed at 5:30 these days, but spending a beautiful morning…
This year’s mini sessions last Saturday had to be my most fun ever! Between the perfect weather, gorgeous light and fabulous fun clients (including some new ones!) and some great help besides it was just a perfect day! And part of what made it so fun was the huge variety of subjects I was able…
I just love this family…not only have I been photographing them for many years, but my family recently moved in around the corner from them so I get to see them all the time! Oldest daughter, Grace was home for winter break and it was a great time to get everyone together for some photos….
I have a lot of blog posts I need to catch up with from this year. These last couple of months get so busy with shooting that I don’t have time keep up this blog as well! But it’s only fitting to end the year with a post on one of my favorite sessions ever!…
I think this was my 6th year photographing this beautiful family, but only our second time at the beach! It was a beautiful, warm day in November – so nice that it felt more like summer than almost winter! The light was beautiful and the sunset gorgeous. Even their puppy had a good time at…
Love this family and these girls! I have enjoyed taking their photos for five years now and I look forward to every single session! And I can’t believe how quickly they are growing up. This session was a little different from all of our other ones because it was a little more formal in dress…
I think my absolute favorite sort of session is a family session like this – where we take a few “posed” family shots for the wall -but then just capture life as it happens and the beautiful relationships that exist in families. We let the good times roll and photograph them as they happen! The…
I have been photographing this beautiful family since the middle child was a baby…and before adorable boy #3 came along! It’s been so much fun to watch them grow up! I have loved all of my sessions with this family, but I think that this mini session we did this year at Irvine Regional Park…
