Once again I thought I would throw my hat into the ring and enter this month’s iheartfaces photo challenge, which just happens to be one of my very favorite subjects: pets! I went back and forth all week trying to decide which image to enter because there are so many that I love – but…
I think my absolute favorite sort of session is a family session like this – where we take a few “posed” family shots for the wall -but then just capture life as it happens and the beautiful relationships that exist in families. We let the good times roll and photograph them as they happen! The…
I have been photographing this beautiful family since the middle child was a baby…and before adorable boy #3 came along! It’s been so much fun to watch them grow up! I have loved all of my sessions with this family, but I think that this mini session we did this year at Irvine Regional Park…
As the busiest time of year for us photographers heats up, it’s harder and harder to stay on top of all of the editing, posting, marketing and other chores and sometime the blog is the first thing to go! But I love posting those sneak peeks and I’m going to try to do better to…
I had a lot of clients who wanted to make it to the last mini sessions but just couldn’t fit it in their schedule. I’ve had so many requests for additional mini sessions that I’ve decided to open up my schedule for two more dates. Saturday October 25th will be at Crescent Bay Beach in…
I just love these boys! The oldest I get to spend two hours with in church every week and the youngest is a member of my baby plan who was ready for his next session. I have to admit that this is my very favorite age to photograph – when they are just big enough…
Last weekend I had the most amazing time putting together a very elaborate styled Halloween session for a client and my own family. We had custom designed costumes and props, hauled in horses and brought in teepees and makeup artists and hired help – it was quite the production and I can’t wait to post…
I was driving home from a long trip out to the desert when I got the call: a lovely couple wanted to know if I could shoot their wedding – the following weekend. Unfortunately I was already booked shooting my husband’s high school reunion. But then they asked if they could have some engagement photos…
The tradition continues – and it keeps getting bigger and better in every way! The Gibbs family has been coming to me every summer since 2008 or 2009 all the way from Ohio for their family portraits on Orange County’s beautiful shores. With the exception of last year – but that was for a great…
A friend of mine has some absolutely beautiful cats that had kittens this summer. When I heard the news I just knew I had to bring my kidlets by …they all love kittens, but nothing like my youngest who absolutely adores them and has asked for one of her very own for every birthday and…
The “M” family came out to visit all the way from Texas. It’s been so fun shooting so many families from Texas this year. And my favorite part – they learn their manners well over there in Texas! The kids introduced themselves to me so politely and everyone was just adorable for this session. There’s…
The Cullimore family came to visit from all over and what a fun family to photograph! The morning of their session I woke up looking forward to meeting this large group and felt great. By 10:30 am however I started feeling ill…and by noon I had a fever of 102.6 and could hardly move. I…
