Kristen (this adorable baby’s momma) and I have been friends since we were 12 years old or thereabouts. And not just friends. We drove every morning together to school and seminary, spent many a late night working on school projects and hanging out on the trampoline and when it was time to leave the nest…
I had the awesome opportunity to meet Ryan and Michelle last week and capture some portraits for their engagement and “save the date” cards. They’ll be getting married in Hawaii, so they wanted some way to share their engagement with those friends and family who won’t be able to come to the wedding. Because I…
I met Michele earlier this year, when I had the opportunity to take some head shots for her. So I was super excited when she asked me to take some portraits of her children and her niece for their Christmas cards and also for gifts! We met earlier this week, on a warm and golden…
And what better place to meet up for a playdate than Irvine Regional Park? There are trees to climb, ducks to feed, leafy piles to stomp in, playgrounds to visit – and even peacocks to chase. Or to chase you. (If you have food the want). I had a great time with Denzin and his…
The lucky mother to this charming little boy just happened to be my little sister’s best friend when we lived in Agoura. There were many days that it seemed like she lived with us! But I haven’t seen her in years and hadn’t ever met her awesome husband or sweet baby. So when I found…
I’ve had a lot of fun photographing this family over the years… at Tewinkle Park, at Laguna Beach, at Strawberry Farms in Irvine and now at their local park in Newport Coast. Each year has been fun and unique in it’s own way – but what made this year so fun was the new addition…
It’s been my privilege to work often with Mr. Hunter this year (in a little bit less fun setting), so I was very pleased to have the opportunity to meet his whole family and take their portraits this Holiday Season! They truly were “picture perfect.” From their impeccably tasteful attire (good job Kimberly!) to their fabulously good…
The fun thing about editing these photos was that I edited many of them on the very same night that I performed at the fabulous Henry & Renee Segerstrom Concert Hall… and the experience of singing there was very fresh in my mind while I worked. The fun thing about taking these photos was that…
Well, I can’t exactly say that my daughter, Kate, was the Teacher’s Pet in Mrs. “W”s class… but if there is an opposite favorite relationship (favorite teacher) – then Mrs. “W” would certainly be a “student’s pet” with my daughter Kate. Kate just adores her teacher from last year, and so she was extra thrilled…
I think it was 2 years ago that I took nearly identical portraits of all of the same family members at the same place – the lovely home of Naomi who lives near Corona Del Mar in Newport Beach. It was fun to see how some of their families have expanded a bit (love your…
Was super excited to see the “V” family again this year as not only were they super gorgeous to photograph the last time around (I mean, can you believe those gorgeous eyes?), but they also had a new little addition for me to meet! And while I didn’t think it would be possible, he was…
This was my third year coming to this lovely home to photograph these adorable children! Only, this time there was a beautiful new little face to photograph! Little Joshua arrived this last spring, and it was a pleasure to meet him this year! We were going to meet at the Segerstrom Concert Hall near where…
