It’s that time of year again… the kid’s are settled in school and choosing Halloween costumes, the weather has finally decided to cool down, Christmas decor takes over Costco, plans are made for family gatherings… and many of us start thinking about updating our family photos to send out the annual Holiday cards! And just…
Although I was very sad to have some of my favorite clients and friends to leave Orange County for the Temecula Valley, they couldn’t have chosen a more beautiful place to take up residence! I think I could just move in with them and be happy as can be! Sage Ranch is a beautiful place…
Lance is my fabulous assistant Sheena’s son, and adopted brother to my 3 kids. Many a day will my world be filled with the sounds of 4 children casting spells and galavanting around the house, playing Harry Potter. My own son has read the books more than once, and they’ve all seen at least a…
I was so glad the “K” family came all the way up from Orange County to Temecula to visit the beautiful Sage Ranch and have their portraits taken! Little “J” was so adorable in his racecar driver costume and his little sister “C” couldn’t be cuter – I’ve been wanting to get my camera on…
Summer is over, a feeling of fall is in the air, and Halloween is just around the corner! Join us on Saturday September 25 or Saturday October 2nd for our first annual Halloween Costume portraits and contest! There will be food, fun, and activities! Sessions will be only $35/child or pet. Don’t have costumes picked…
I love when kids figure out at an early age that the best gifts they can give their parents is something to remember them by. Whether the classic clay hand print with the little poem that goes with it, or the drawing of rainbows and flowers with the “I love you” note attached – my…
I had set up this session for 7:00 am the Friday of Labor Day weekend, so as to take advantage of the (usually) beautiful early morning light and to allow the “P” family to have the rest of the day free to play! They were staying at the Hyatt Regency Resort and Spa, so to…
I was delighted to be able to get together and hang out with the lovely “H” family and all of their extended family! I have known some of them for many years – working together (school plays) and playing together (boy’s soccer), and it was so nice to meet the extended family. And I especially…
My adorable little friend Maren finally got her baby brother! You can see her gorgeous mommy’s maternity pictures here. Unfortunately, our session was right during little Liam’s fussiest time of day (which really wasn’t all that fussy – he is such a good baby) but we weren’t able to get any of my favorite sleeping…
My most recent post just reminded me that I hadn’t actually posted some images that I thought I had – Grace’s Senior Portraits. I was going to link the them, but couldn’t find them here on my blog. So, better late than never – Sorry Grace!
I love it when a family feels so comfortable around me that they can let their guards down and just be themselves during their session. Such was the case this year with the “R” family. Of course, it helps that this was the fourth year in a row of taking their family portraits – they…
I couldn’t think of any other title to sum up this post. So many beach sessions, and all very similar locations, but so much fun to meet so many different people and learn their stories! This was an aunt whose niece and nephew were coming from out of state to visit. And she planned a…
