Monica + Kevin’s Engagement Portraits

Monica and Kevin love to cook. And wine…don’t even start. So where else could we do their session other than your friendly neighborhood grocery store?! it was so much fun ducking in and out of the aisles, getting funky stares from the patrons and avoiding all the workers. They did an amazing job under that stress!!! It was hilarious, fun and exciting…I’ve always wanted to see a makeout session in the produce department :) Good thing we were close to the beach because we also got a glimpse of an amazing sunset. Thanks guys…you are truly fearless trend setters!









By Popular Demand…

A friend was complaining that I don’t post enough pics of the kiddies together, so this one is for you, Melissa! As you can see, there is no shortage of cute outfits over here. Thanks Grandma! This picture is titled: “I Am Your Brother, Your Best Friend Forever!”

Family Friday #10

For this last Friday of March, I present a video and a photo. The video is what happens when you bring two kids to Vegas…a whole lot of in-room nonsense. This took place when I was in class all day. And the photo below it is my new favorite photo of Nathan. Have a great weekend!

Annette + Arnold’s Engagement Portraits

So glad we were able to squeeze in Annette and Arnold’s session before their wedding in April. It’s coming up so fast and it should be a fantastic day. I knew Arnold from college so I’ll be seeing a bunch of familiar faces which will be a kick. So here are Annette and Arnold in and around the beach. It was a typically amazing SoCal day and we were to get some really fun stuff. I was trying to make Arnold do a serious face and he could hold it (see below) :) See you guys soon!

Some treats for you:







Nicole + Andy’s Engagement Portraits

Wedding season must be approaching because the engagement sessions are everywhere! I really love doing these sessions. They are so much fun and so relaxed. I encourage everyone to do them…not only do you get used to my giant camera in your face, but who doesn’t want to act like a model. Even for an hour :)

Well, here are Nicole and Andy! They chose to shoot in one of my favorite places in OC, Old Towne Orange. I’ve been here a bunch of times, and still see completely new things every time I go. I love it! We had a blast just wandering and letting things flow. The light was gorgeous and they were looking hot! They will be tying the knot out in Temecula this coming October. Here are a few highlights.
