I just love when I get to post photos of my own kids. I always joke that my kids are the most photographed kids on the planet…but you’d never know it because sadly, so many of those images are buried in 3 TB hard drives and may never see the light of day. Photographs are…
This adorable family came all the way down from Northern California to visit Newport Beach last September! They were so relaxed and candid and fun with each other – I knew we would be in for some fun images! Mom’s of two year olds often worry that they won’t get any usable images because their…
This ridiculously photogenic family has been a huge fan of the Duck Dynasty TV show since it’s inception. Long before it became popular in the mainstream…and mom had this fun and crazy idea to base their next photo session on the awesome show. A family of “Hunters” for years, it came very natural to them…
Two weeks ago tonight I had the pleasure of attending the Grand Opening Party at Alixandra Collections, a lovely high-end clothing and accessory boutique located in Newport Beach off of 17th Street and Irvine Ave. The party was fun, and you can see the photos from that event on the blog HERE. But I got…
I think extended family portraits have to be one of my favorites! I love when generations of families come to be together and then want to capture that special time to be remembered forever! There is always so much love and happiness! I have a lot of people ask me if I charge extra for…
I just love this family! I was so excited when they contacted me to let me know they would be visiting for the summer again from overseas. I think they are my clients that live the furthest from here (all the way in Singapore), yet I get to know them so very well as…
I have known Becca since…well, since she was born, really. And she has been by my side on countless adventures since that time – summer vacations and fall trips to Disneyland; Christmases and New Year’s celebrations; summer trips to Southern Utah together; EFY adventures and rooming together at BYU. And more recently she’s been there…
Ok…so this won’t be the typical “sneak peek.” This post is more of a “help me make a decision” kind of post. See, these are photos of my amazing sister and her family. They ventured down from Utah as they do every year to enjoy a week’s vacation in Newport Beach. And since Brittany is…
On occasion I take on some commercial photography projects but I don’t often blog about them (often they are for products that are not ready to be viewed by the public, or copyright issues are still being worked out, or other such issues). But I am excited to share a sneak peek of some photos…
Here’s a quick little sneak peek of the most adorable baby girl I photographed on Tuesday! Her name is Maris, which means “of the sea” and I think it’s just perfect! She lives in a beautiful home in Newport Coast overlooking the ocean and that will be the view she grows up with. Her home…
I’ve had the pleasure of knowing this sweet girl for the last two years. She is good friends with my own daughter who will also be getting baptized soon. And she is modeling a gorgeous custom designed gown created by the amazing seamstress and costume designer Cheryl Sheldon. Ashlee got to choose all of the…
It is often said of pregnant women that “they are glowing”…and I think that this is because there is something about carrying new life within you that makes you positively radiant. And this mamma-to-be was no exception. “S” was absolutely beautiful, and her husband was so very supportive and caring. And I just got word…
