Here is a sneak peek from the cute mother & son session I did this week =)
Category Archives: children
I’ve known this beautiful mama since she was teeny tiny. I was friends with her older sisters growing up and there are 5 girls in her family. Now there’s two granddaughters and this little guy is the first boy in a looooong time =)
Sarah and I first met when we worked together at Vineyard Christian School 12 or 13 years ago. Sarah was single at the time but she soon met and fell in love with Bryce because of his heart for worship. Bryce is a pastor at Calvary Chapel Tustin and the love of the Lord is...
They had a fun area set up for silly dress up portraits, because you’re never too old to play dress up =)
Even the grown-ups got in on the fun (sorry Jim, heehee):
It makes my job so rewarding and easy when I get the privilege of doing portraits for people like these guys – fun, creative, great style, down to earth…..I could go on and on. Kerri and Keir were up for anything and really put a lot of thought into their session – you should have...
Madi is turning 13 and she is so sweet and so beautiful and so funny and everything else amazing. I’ve know her since she was just 7 or 8! Her mom wanted to do a shoot to get pictures for her birthday party invitation. We had so much fun in this orange grove and Madi...
OK, I’ve kept these family portraits secret long enough…….right families? Sorry if you haven’t mailed your cards yet =)
I can’t even tell you how excited I was when this family showed up with a pair of deer in tow:
Then I love the moodiness of this portrait:
And I already posted a couple of images of little...
I love this family! Besides being super friendly and genuinely nice, they have great style too!
Here are some favorites:
I recently added this awesome sofa to my prop collection and it will be with me at the mini sessions coming up along with a bunch of other fun stuff I have up my sleeve =)
Which reminds me – I only have one spot left for mini sessions and after that the next available session...
P.S. Don’t worry mom and dad – there are plenty of cute family ones, but I need to stop posting family pics so I don’t ruin any holiday card surprises =)
This awesome family wanted their portraits taken at the Balboa Fun Zone, but when we got to Newport, the fog was crazy thick, so we had to come up with plan b.
So I suggested this place:
now that’s talent:
If I had a sister, I’d want a picture like this:
Thanks guys for being up for plan b...
OK, I’ve never shot at this place before so I got a little carried away with this post – there were just so many that I loved and I had to hold myself back because if I could have, I would have posted like 50 more =)
I love how you can see one of the...
This weekend was officially the start of my super busy holiday season. I only have a few regular sessions left for the month of October and then in November I am only doing mini-sessions, and then I won’t be scheduling any appointments in December unless it is for a newborn session. So if you want...
Here are some shots that I got of my girls last week during serve day at our church (*disclaimer*- we were working very hard passing out Treasure Boxes and did not intend for this to turn into a photo shoot, haha). Gotta love the one of them fighting over a box – how sweet, they...
Every time I have a session with a one year old, I know it’s going to be an adventure. This little guy was no exception, look at him giving his dad a workout:
He was so cute with that curly hair:
This one doesn’t really flow with the rest of the portraits, but I love it so...
This shoot had us running from the cops, haha =) The first time was when we were on the railroad tracks and their mom noticed a cop stopped on the tracks at the next intersection. We all grabbed a piece of the drum set and made a run for it. We were pulling out with...
The principal at my girl’s school asked me to take some portraits of the kids so they could have some fun pictures to hang in the school office. The kids were big hams and I had so much fun hanging out with them. Here are just a few of my favorites:
My 9 year old has been begging me for ‘rock n roll’ portraits for the longest time…….so we finally got to get out by ourselves the other day and had a fun little shoot around our neighborhood.
Today I met with this cute family in downtown Fullerton for some urban portraits. I have never had a session there before, so it was so fun taking a tour of Fullerton trying to find fun spots.
Then the boys got to wear their storm trooper masks because they were such good models =)
My daughter has been begging me to take pictures of her in the skirt since I bought it a year ago…I’m glad I finally did :)
I’ve known this little cutie since she was teeny tiny! Here is a sneak peek for her mommy :)
I met this adorable family in the circle and they brought their cute little vintage car
This little Miss was slow to warm up to me – I love this face:
But she finally did warm up and we got some great images:
Thank guys! I had so much fun with you this morning!
Check out those eyes! I met this adorable little guy and his mommy and daddy at Soka University. He was so sweet and easygoing and he didn’t even have a nap! If all my 2 year olds were like this with no nap I probably would have had 10 more kids, haha. His dad wanted...
I met some friends of mine in Old Town Orange for some urban portraits. I love this last one…while I was trying to get some of just mom and dad, their 2nd youngest just couldn’t leave them alone, so the oldest is trying to pry her away, haha.
I met this sweet and completly adorable family on Balboa Island for their Christmas portraits :)
Remember the cutie pie from the last post? Well this is the rest of his family. I love the family shot at the top – don’t they look like they belong on the cover of an album or something? I had so much fun with you guys! And don’t worry – there are a TON...
