I absolutely adore shooting with my repeat clients – the ones who come back year after year after year. The ones who really feel more like friends now than clients. I love catching up with them and seeing how their children have grown. I can’t believe both of these gals are in school now! They…
I had the honor of attending the wedding of Paul and Candace today as the photographer, witness and only guest. What a privilege that was…to spend this most special day with them and share in their joy, laughter and love. And there was lots of all of that going around. I was lucky enough to…
It’s amazing to me how I can sometimes show up at the beach and still have what feels like an entire beach to ourselves – a private beach almost, in summer in beautiful Laguna Beach. This was one of those days. I was super excited for this session, because I had so much fun with…
I’ve known most of these kids since they were teeny tiny babies – I have photos of the oldest boy and my middle daughter together when they were two…and now they are in the same class at school! Mom wanted to do a secret, surprise session to surprise dad with some neat images for Father’s…
I had so much fun catching up with Daley Erickson, who will very soon be launching a new website for her awesome new business, and is, as she puts it, “a happy wife and mother, health advocate and Personal Power Planner helping people meet their goals and craft their very best lives.” She’s also a…
Yes, summer is coming. And with it the plethora of portrait sessions at the beach! Many of those I do each year are from families out of town. But this session was from a local Irvine family who needed a portrait to hang on the wall in time for company coming to town! I loved…
Sometimes you meet someone who just carries a natural grace and poise about her that is unmistakable. Such was the case with “K” – she was so natural in front of the camera and such a joy to be around. I loved her fairly modest attire that let her true inner beauty shine through! She…
I am submitting this family portrait favorite into the “Rock the Shot” contest this month which has the theme of silhouettes. I have a lot of favorite silhouette photos, but this has to be my latest fav… I just love the feeling of camaraderie and love this family exudes. This was one of the last shots…
This session felt jinxed from the beginning. Having had to be rescheduled due to bad weather, we made a second go at it last Thursday! This sweet family wanted to do photos at Crystal Cove State Park because they live right there in Newport Coast. But there wasn’t enough time to properly submit for a…
This lovely couple will be getting married next year up North, but wanted some engagement photos down here at Wood’s Cove in Laguna Beach while Sara finishes up her law degree here at Chapman University! So Shane and Skyler came down for a very fun and warm sunny afternoon by the water. We kind of…
The Christmas season is in full swing and I have a record number of last minute (or last few weeks) sessions to get out and edited this time around! Which means blog posts long on photos and short on words! I loved the fun props brought to this session and this adorable family! I think…
I was so excited when my good friend and roommate from BYU came down to visit California with her family! I knew I had to find time to see them in my busy schedule, and since my kids love to go to the beach, and her family wanted to go, we decided to meet at…
