I have had many many clients over the years come to me from out of state and who are staying at the Newport Coast Villas or at Pelican Hill across the way. But this was the first time I was asked to do the session on the property of the villas. I was a bit…
I love getting to meet new people, and I love that I have so man clients come to me from so far away! This group hailed from as far away as New Jersey (and a few other places as well, I believe). They were gathering at Surfside Colony in Seal Beach for the first week…
I was so excited to meet this lovely family for our session. Sara contacted me over Facebook and I felt like we connected right away! She had some awesome and touching ideas, including bringing along a balloon to represent their daughter Allison who was born stillborn a year ago this July. It was a beautiful sentiment…
I’ve had so many clients this summer coming from out of town or out of state and visiting at either Pelican Hill or the Marriot Villas in Newport Coast. It’s been great to get to know and shoot on both of those properties. Pelican hill had a lovely area to shoot at, and we were…
Love is the tie that binds this family together. I come from a somewhat large family myself, being the oldest of five children. So I love having the opportunity to photograph large families, and to see the love that truly does bind them together! But this large family was particularly special to me – one…
Oh, the summer night Has a smile of light And she sits on a sapphire throne. ~Barry Cornwall When I got a phone call from Julie, I was so excited for the chance to photographer her family again! I love when I have returning clients come all the way from out of state. She chose…
This fun family was not only super photogenic – but they had me rolling with laughter from almost the very beginning of our session through the very end! And I love it when a family is up for anything. Usually I have to keep suggesting poses or other combinations I want to try, but not…
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…
Here’s the final installment of the Klarin Family Sneak Peek! They wanted to do something a little bit new and different for a location and they thought the bright white walls of the local high school would contrast nicely with their clothes – and they were right! It was fun for me to shoot in…
So, this charming family was the winning bidder on my family portrait session auction item for Mariner’s Christian school! And such a lovely and fun loving (and patient) family they are! I say patient, because I have had no end of troubles with my computer systems while trying to get this session edited…and have had…
I had so much fun taking these portraits for Pam and her son Eric and grandson Vitomil – travelling all the way from Easter Europe! Because she needed a morning appointment, when the light isn’t the most flattering, we headed down to the Lab Anti-mall in Costa Mesa, so we could take advantage of the…
I just love photographing families in their homes. Everyone is so comfortable there, and the end result has more meaning it feels like when taken in such a familiar place! And I can even set up my backdrops and lights to get that studio look as well as the home as the background! As an…
