This was a very sweet reunion for me – with some of my favorite repeat clients who I look forward to seeing every summer for their portraits when they travel out from Ohio to the sunny shores of Orange County! This was my third year taking their portraits, and I always enjoy hanging with the…
I had the most delightful time getting to know this family. This was one of the sessions I just love photographing because there was so much of real raw emotion – fun, games, love, laughter, snuggles, hugs, silly little games, and finally exhaustion! Modeling can be hard work for a little one like sweet little “L”…
I had the pleasure of photographing a couple of professional fighters for their new gigs at www.superiorcagecombat.com. Sheena, my assistant, kept joking that they needed to look “more mean” for their pictures because they looked way too nice. Well, they sure were nice to us, but I wouldn’t want to come up against either of…
Later in the week, after shooting a couple’s sessionat the beach, we headed to Paul and Candace’s home to capture some more casual images of the two of them – but the focus was really on their beloved pet, who is really one of the family! I love involving pets in portraiture – and this…
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…
Paul initially contacted me in January about getting a gift certificate for his girlfriend for Valentine’s Day. What a wonderful idea (of course!) – what girl wouldn’t love romantic portraits showcasing the love and relationship she shares? And not only did he purchase for her a session – he actually arranged for them to have…
One of the things about my job is that I get to meet so many wonderfully fun and interesting people! When Erica contacted me to ask if I could take some head shots for her race car fiancee, I was excited. I hadn’t photographed any race car drivers before! And what genuinely nice people both…
The fabulous “K” family hailed from up North. Way up North. They came all the way from Alaska, and I was so pleased and honored for the opportunity to spend a couple of hours with their lovely and charming family and to take their portraits. All beautiful people, inside and out! We began our session…
Fashion Island that is… that was the setting for the party celebrating the wedding of Maurice and Lou one beautiful August evening. It was a bit chilly out for August, but the warmth of the guests more than made up for the chill in the air! Friends and family came from all over to celebrate…
Adrienne grew up near a harbor and around boats, so she wanted to go back to those roots for her Senior Portraits, and she came to the right place. Plenty of boats near Balboa Island in Newport Beach! Adrienne looked stunning in her gorgeous dress and fun outfits. She has such a natural smile and…
Our final session with the Rogove Family was at the Montage in Laguna Beach, where they ended their month-long stay here in Southern California. Always such a lovely setting for portraits, it was a particularly beautiful day there on this day! I was excited to see little Isabella and of course Eve and Brian again,…
Well, I may be a bit biased, but I really do think they are the cutest ever! I finally had the opportunity to meet my little niece Emery this week, and what a doll she is! So sweet and beautiful! And she shares a birthday with my daughter, Kate! Also spent the holiday playing with…
