Hello, Handsome! | Mission Viejo Baby Photographer

I know, I know... you just want to eat him up, right? Yup. Me, too! This little guy melts my heart! Sorry ladies- he's all mine; and lucky for me, he is a total mama's boy already ;-)

Love to Laugh | Palos Verdes Engagement Photography

Tonight was all kinds of fun. I've know Amy & Bobby for a long time... in fact, it kills me a little bit that I am old enough for these two to be getting married, but I digress.

Amy & Bobby were sweet enough to have me take some engagement shots! We started off in Malaga Cove, then they wanted some in a location they'd found, and it did not disappoint. The light was INCREDIBLE and the weather was unreal for January. The best part of shooting these two, was that it was difficult to get shots of them NOT laughing! When I asked B what his favorite thing about A is, he said, "Her laugh." Umm- of course it is! Her laugh is to die for!

I had so much fun with you guys... so much fun, in fact, that I had a really hard time narrowing down the ones to post for your sneak peek. So here you go, guys! I'm so thrilled for you and am filled with praise knowing you two will have an amazing life together!

The J Family | Mission Viejo Family Photographer

I had the privilege to meet up with the J family last Saturday down at the train station in San Juan Capistrano (one of my fave places to visit and shoot at)! The J's are friends with one of my mommy friends and are not only as sweet as they come, but also absolutely beautiful! They were so easy to relate with, because their family is so similar to my own- a 3 year old girl and a little boy only two months younger than my little man! We had a blast and I'm always thankful to meet fun new families!

G & M- your family is gorgeous! Thanks for meeting up with me!

One of the many things I swoon over in SCJ- the light! SO pretty!


Meet Miss M- sweet, mischievous, silly and oh-so-much fun! She was so good (the bribe of getting ice cream afterward is always a winner)!


Check out baby D smiling away... lock up your daughters- he's a charmer!


And mom's eyes?! Too much! Such a perfect family!
