It was time to update photos for this lovely family! They came to me three years ago, when their oldest daughter was the age their youngest daughter is now. Around 7-8 months has to be my favorite age to photograph little ones! They are able to sit solidly on their own, but can’t yet run…
Have you ever wondered what a surprise proposal, on one of Orange County’s busiest beaches on arguably the busiest day of the year looks like? I have had the pleasure now of photographing several proposals. Most of the time I am incognito until after he pops the big question, which brings along it’s own…
When Krista called needing a last minute session in Huntington Beach, I wasn’t sure it would work out. I already had some other sessions planned, but since they were coming all the way from Canada, I promised to try and fit them in…and when my other session rescheduled it worked out beautifully! It wasn’t such…
It’s that time of the month again….contest time! I have so much fun entering contests when I get a moment…mostly because I quite enjoy seeing all of the other entries – they make for great inspiration! It also challenges me to find what I feel is my best work. I sometimes have a difficult time…
You know the old saying, “the early bird gets the worm?” Well, in this case the early risers can sometimes get the most gorgeous light. I don’t often get families to book a 7:00 am session, but as it turns out I was already booked for the evening of this labor day weekend and the…
Just a quick little sneak peek from a session early this morning at the Huntington Beach Pier. This lovely family came all the way from Arizona and were willing to be up with me at the crack of dawn – and we were rewarded with the most beautiful light and colors – and a nearly…
This much anticipated “sneak peek” comes for a family that couldn’t be sweeter! I met them for a family session in 2010 in Temecula when their baby was just a newborn…it’s fun and amazing to see how everyone has grown (I got to see them again a year and a half ago for Valentine’s portraits…
While I love the dreamy feeling evoked by these portraits by the pier, in reality it was a cold and windy last day of May. This baby, who travelled all the way out from Tenessee, was such a good sport however, and really seemed to enjoy the sand and the waves, in spite of the…
I had the loveliest time photographing this fun family/engagement shoot. What made it all the more fun was that I had just had my own engagement session and was about to get married – so I was in that mode! Now that my own wedding is done, I had a blast editing the photos for…
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…
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…
