Sunrise in Huntington Beach {Orange County extended family portrait photographer}

You know the old saying, “the early bird gets the worm?” Well, in this case the early risers can sometimes get the most gorgeous light. I don’t often get families to book a 7:00 am session, but as it turns out I was already booked for the evening of this labor day weekend and the…

September Specials {Free cards with session!}

Every year it seems to me as though from this point on the holiday season just flies by! It’s a super busy time in the life of most photographers and when I talk to most people I know I realize it’s not much difference for everyone – there’s back to school and Halloween and then…

Besties at the beach {Newport Beach Teen Photographer}

This was a fun little session with a pair of best friends from high school! These photos were taken for one gal, Jessica’s birthday! What a fun birthday gift. And even more fun to share in it with her friend. Scheduling was the most difficult part of this session – between dance practice, birthday parties,…

Sunrise in Huntington Beach {Huntington Beach Family Portrait Photographer}

Just a quick little sneak peek from a session early this morning at the Huntington Beach Pier. This lovely family came all the way from Arizona and were willing to be up with me at the crack of dawn – and we were rewarded with the most beautiful light and colors – and a nearly…

Growing up {Laguna Beach Family Portrait Photographer}

I absolutely adore shooting with my repeat clients – the ones who come back year after year after year. The ones who really feel more like friends now than clients. I love catching up with them and seeing how their children have grown. I can’t believe both of these gals are in school now! They…

Pretty little princess

What more can I say than that this little princess was a complete delight. I photographed her the day I was leaving to go out of town to Utah for our family vacation, and am so glad that I had the chance to fit her in! I’ve known and loved her family for years, and…

Reflection {Orange County Photographer}

Just a fun image I am submitting for the “reflections contest” at www.rocktheshotforum.com This image was taken at sunset in the Great Salt Lake in Utah and is one of my favorites from that day! I loved how still the water was and the ripples around Sheena and how beautiful the light came down.

Family fun in the sun {Huntington Beach Family Portrait Photographer}

This much anticipated “sneak peek” comes for a family that couldn’t be sweeter! I met them for a family session in 2010 in Temecula when their baby was just a newborn…it’s fun and amazing to see how everyone has grown (I got to see them again a year and a half ago for Valentine’s portraits…

A new beginning {Laguna Beach Wedding Photographer}

I had the honor of attending the wedding of Paul and Candace today as the photographer, witness and only guest. What a privilege that was…to spend this most special day with them and share in their joy, laughter and love. And there was lots of all of that going around. I was lucky enough to…

Rising Star {Orange County Corporate Head Shots}

Jonathan Sanchez is headed in the right direction. He just graduated with his MBA in May, was a successful star of an MBA TV program produced there at Chapman University…and he has his whole life in front of him. I’ve had the pleasure of photographing him and his family on several previous occations (Family Portraits,…

On the Right Track

These girls really are on the right track. It’s been my pleasure to follow their progress throughout the school year with regular (weekly) updates on what they’ve been learning and how they’ve been applying it. I love that someone who started out as simply a client is now so much more of a true friend…
