Here’s a little peek from a fun family shoot I did with an adorable family from church.
I love the 5 spray painted on the door (I swear it wasn’t me haha) because there are actually 5 people in this picture – yep, you guessed it, baby #3 is on the way!!!!
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 =)
Gentree is so beautiful and sweet. She has great style and loves doing hair and makeup. When we first started I told her that it usually takes people about 20 minutes to relax and loosen up for pictures, but she didn’t need 20 minutes, she was great from the first image on =)
Then afterward her...
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...
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...
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...
Check out this cute family. The boys were so sweet with their baby sister:
and it was mom and dad’s anniversary!
I got to take some portraits for our good friends last night at the Balboa Fun Zone:
these guys think they are so tough….but I know the truth – they are sweethearts! I love these boys:
then some of just mom and dad:
Here is a sneak peek for this cute family of 3 – mom and dad are celebrating 5 years!
(I’m loving this wall!)
Check out his little smile! Too cute:
Thanks guys and happy anniversary!!!!!!!
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...
Some friends from church are getting ready to be missionaries in Ireland (I’m already planning my trip to come visit them, haha ) and they needed a family picture for prayer cards to pass out:
I think they should pick this one:
Get it? Pick??? – I swear I’m not in 2nd grade =)
This maternity shoot made me so happy for so many reasons. First of all the people in the pictures are so fun (and funny!), they have fantastic style, they let me try new things and they are my neighbors! Love the boots!
All she needed was a bikini……
It looks like she was smuggling a basketball:
A change...
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...
I’ve been wanting to do a shoot in Venice for a while and my friend Kelley lives there so I met her and her family there and we wandered around and saw some interesting things:
Her little guy is about to turn one and he made the cutest faces. He was so expressive:
I think was just...
I have been wanting to do a portrait session in Old Town Tustin for as long as I can remember. I’m so glad this cute family was up for it =)
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 =)
This very thoughtful daughter gave her parents the best Christmas gift ever – a MSP gift certificate – kidding! We met at Irvine Park and I had so much fun with this silly family!
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!
This family reminds me why I love my job so much! They were so fun, it didn’t feel like I was working at all!
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...
