I just love when my clients, who initially found me on the web, or some other random way, become fast friends. I so look forward to their sessions and seeing how their children have grown and spending time together. Dana was one of those with whom we hit it off instantly and I just love…
This session is “vintage” in so many ways… beginning with how long it has sat on my computer’s external hard drive without ever seeing the light of day (well the light of this blog anyways). Which is too bad, because it was one of my favorite sessions ever! This meticulously styled session was done…
This beautiful family wanted some nice portraits done before heading out to a wedding! So we set up the studio in their equally gorgeous home for some nice formal portraits! I am blessed to have such gorgeous clients all the time!
This was my third year photographing this fun-loving kids! We had a great time at Tanaka Farms in Irvine, CA -playing in the pumpkin patch and then out to the golf course for some gorgeous scenery! You can see how these kids have grown from their first session with me here! I never got around…
As I mentioned in my previous post, I get to look forward to seeing Elle every October for her annual birthday portraits! (Elle’s 2-year old portraits & Elle’s 3-year old portraits) But in actuality, I get to look forward to seeing her more often than that – because this is another case of clients that…
These were taken one fine morning in October… last year! My dear friend Evaly (who has accompanied me on many a shoot or wedding) asked me to take pictures of her kids for her daughter’s blessing portraits. I had just the spot to do it in! This is one of my favorite locations in Irvine…
First, I have to apologize for the tardiness of this post – and many others. This has been a super busy time of year as always, with sessions every day (and sometimes more than one a day). And to top things off, I had a little medical emergency that sent me to the hospital for…
Meet Charlie. The adorable 15 week old Sheltie Puppy with tons of personality.
Little Xander is growing up! I can’t believe he has turned 2! My fabulous sister-in-law came down to do my hair and brought little “X” along for his two-year pics. She had the greatest idea – put him in the little sailor suit that my brother (his dad) was photographed in at the same age. …
I am just getting ready to go take portraits at the girl’s 3rd birthday party this morning, and I thought I would post these images we took for their b-day invites! They are having a ballerina themed party (obviously), and knowing their mom, it will be tutu cute! Looking forward to seeing them today –…
It’s so funny because I am not at my most creative at 11:30 at night when I have been up since 4:00 in the morning, so I just threw down the first title that came to mind for this blog post. The funny part came in when I looked at the title of her blog…
I had a most wonderful session with a most wonderful family this last Saturday! I had the pleasure of photographing them for their holiday cards last year, and when little “E” got out of the car, he ran to greet me and said, “You take the best pictures ever Miss Vanessa,” followed shortly thereafter with…
