"I Do"

9.27.08
Emily and Nathan

Here are some pictures of a wedding I shot this last Saturday. I was the 2nd shooter and had a ball because I haven't done that in soooooo long. Emily and Nathan were the cutest couple. It was a beautiful site to see them get married.

Family Portrait at the Beach

9.24.08 The V. Family
Laguna Beach

Yesterday I met up with the V. family to take a family portrait at the beach. While we had an idea of what we wanted to get, little Abby had a different idea! As a photographer you really have to go with the flow, especially when it comes to small children and yesterday really proved you don't have to just sit still to get beautiful portraits of the family. I ended up having so much fun watching Abby jump off rocks, look for Ariel and just have the time of her life playing in the sand. All the while, little Nate (who is only a year old) sat on his parents lap and didn't say a word! Here are a few of my quick pick favorites...

Portrait Party

9.20.08
Michele and Christi's Portrait Party

I had the pleasure of doing a portrait party yesterday, thanks to Michele and Christi!
Everyone was so fun to take pictures of and I LOVED the white couch. Thanks for letting me use your main passage way Michele! It was perfect. Here are a couple of my favorite pictures from each shoot.











I had a little fun with this one, adding some texture and playing with the colors for a little rock and roll look...

Fellow Photographer

9.8.08 - Kurt Hilmerson
My old neighbor and fellow photographer

Last Monday, I reconnected with an old neighbor of mine, Kurt Hilmerson, who happens to also be a fellow photographer! After finding me on Facebook, we decided it was a must for us to get together and talk about what we love to do the most...photography! Thanks to Juliana (his beautiful wife) and Gary (my handsome husband) we were able to share ideas and our passion for capturing life behind the lens. Ok, so it was mainly Kurt sharing with me...Thank YOU!

Newborn Photo Shoot

8.20.08 - Lucas - 3 Weeks Old
Studio Shoot

I had the pleasure of photographing little Lucas who slept like a champ. It made it easy to get these great shots that are only so precious when they are newborns. Great planning on his parents part for doing it during nap time. Thank you!

Family Portrait

8.24.08 - W. Family Portrait
Irvine Park, Irvine

I had such a fun time taking pictures of the W. Family. They were so funny and laid back which made for a great shoot. Both kids listened and cooperated the entire time! I think that was a first. I know my kids have never been quite so easy going when it came to pictures. We met at 9:30am on Sunday morning and the timing was perfect because there was no one at the park yet.








So sweet...

Wedding Day

8.8.8 - Autumn and Freddy
Balboa Park's Japanese Friendship Gardens, San Diego, CA

Well, this was a gorgeous wedding on a beautiful day with a wonderful bride and groom. What more could I ask for! They were so nice and easy to work with. With Autumns old Hollywood style and Freddy's charismatic personality, it was such a joy to shoot. Thank you!







Beautiful Autumn...









My favorite picture of Freddy!









I love the song they chose for their dance..."Stay With You" by John Legend. It truly was a beautiful moment!
