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…
I was lucky enough to photograph this picture perfect family in their picture perfect home (which they’ve worked very hard on for the last three years) with their perfectly well behaved pets! But they weren’t just beautiful on the outside – they were such a lovely family inside and out. There was an atmosphere of…
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…
This gorgeous family couldn’t help but look great anywhere we went. And to make it even better, they are beautiful inside and out! But of course, the mission at San Juan Capistrano is always a lovely setting for portraits, and this afternoon was no exception. A perfect day for photos! And after the mission we…
I have been blessed in many ways to have Dan Hunter in my life. Not only is he a very excellent attorney, but he has a very photogenic and sweet family as well! They all take just gorgeous photos! And as a bonus, I always end up getting some fabulous Mexican food after every session!…
I’ve had a surprise party or two (or three) thrown for me in my life. Only one was truly a surprise. It’s not easy to pull those off. But this one was executed flawlessly…Michael was truly surprised (and delighted) when he arrived at the El Niguel Country Club to a huge party with lots and…
When one of my favorite clients called up to see about having her husband’s daughters photographed over Thanksgiving, I was delighted! I have photographed Morgan before and it was so much fun! And even Ron (the dad) is a pretty good sport about pictures! We took them at the Lab (Anti-mall) in Costa Mesa. I…
What do you get when you cross a gorgeous Shih Tzu with and adorable Yorkshire Terrier (Yorkie)? You get a Shorkie! And that’s just what I had the pleasure of photographing the week of Christmas! She’s pretty darn cute, wouldn’t you say? And the best behaved pet subject to come my way in quite some…
First I want to start by thanking all of you who made 2012 such a wonderful year! I had so many fun and amazing sessions and loved getting to know so many of you better! So I’m going to have a contest! I have pulled some of my favorite images from 2012 client session –…
This was my second year photographing this family and their beautiful dogs. Bernese Mountain Dogs and Huskies are both so photogenic that it’s hard not to get a great shot! Unfortunately we’ve had to cut both of our sessions short – this time around it began to rain soon after our session started and while…
