It was a beautiful golden morning – we got started early (very early – like 6:45 am) because that’s when sweet baby Penelope is happiest and the light is most beautiful! There aren’t a lot of things that will motivate me to get out of bed at 5:30 these days, but spending a beautiful morning…
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…
This gorgeous family got together for the holidays and I was honored to take their family portraits the day before New Year’s Eve. It was a beautiful winter afternoon at Shaw’s Cove – perfect light, perfect weather and picture perfect subjects! I had met Joanne at a fundraising event and it was fun to reconnect…
It’s always so fun to capture loving memories with peeps I grew up with…and even more fun when it’s been nearly two decades since seeing them! And yet it feels like almost no time has gone by at all. I knew both the mom and dad of this lovely family when I was in High…

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…
I’ve known most of these kids since they were teeny tiny babies – I have photos of the oldest boy and my middle daughter together when they were two…and now they are in the same class at school! Mom wanted to do a secret, surprise session to surprise dad with some neat images for Father’s…
This session felt jinxed from the beginning. Having had to be rescheduled due to bad weather, we made a second go at it last Thursday! This sweet family wanted to do photos at Crystal Cove State Park because they live right there in Newport Coast. But there wasn’t enough time to properly submit for a…
Can you tell that these folks really love each other… and they love to play… a lot? All of my favorite images from this session were the ones where they were interacting, playing, loving each other and enjoying their visit to the beach…not posing. Hugs, tickles, ring-around-the-rosies, chasing waves…of course the fun and games all…
The Christmas season is in full swing and I have a record number of last minute (or last few weeks) sessions to get out and edited this time around! Which means blog posts long on photos and short on words! I loved the fun props brought to this session and this adorable family! I think…
I really enjoyed spending a lovely August evening with this fun-loving family from out of state. Now that it’s fall, I’m enjoying remembering those golden days of summer! Enjoy these fun loving images from your session “F family”
After shooting Angelica and Kevin’s engagement portraits, they wanted to know if we could take a few head shots as well for work or portfolio. So we kind of combined the sessions into one and just got a few individual portraits after the couple shots – and they pretty fun and unique. It also helps…
