The C Family | Torrance, California Family Photographer

I love meeting new people- it's one of my favorite things about what I do! So naturally, I had a blast meeting this beautiful family. They were so sweet and welcoming, their son is absolutely perfect (no, seriously, he is THE cutest guy with the sweetest smile!)... even their pets made me feel welcome in their home!

We spent a little time at a gorgeous beachside park to capture their family holiday portraits. One thing I love very much about Southern California is the fact that there are countless beautiful places for photography!

Thanks, C family, for letting me capture your holiday images and spend time with your sweet boy! I had so much fun!







I love this one... the love is so evident it melts my heart!

The {lovely} T Family | Laguna Niguel Family Photographer, Orange County, California

So excited to share another set from my holiday sessions! I had so much fun shooting this gorgeous family at Laguna Niguel Regional Park! It was such a perfect day for pictures- no rain, perfect temps and gorgeous golden light... swoon! I love spending time with families like the T's. Mom and Dad are fun and laid back, big bro is goofy and sweet and little sis is perfectly adorable; not to mention they're perfect color choices in outfits: dream clients! :)

Thanks so much, R&D, for bringing the kids and meeting up with me to capture your holiday portraits! Cannot wait to see you guys again!

Handsome Boys | Ladera Ranch Family Photographer, Orange County, California

This was one of many of my holiday sessions at the end of 2011! This was the third time I was able to spend some time shooting this family- first, for mom's maternity portraits; second, for baby bro's newborn portraits. This time, I got to capture the whole family of four!

I love spending time with this family! Mom and dad are laid back and fun to be around... and their boys!! Oh mercy! Big brother, D, is such a charmer and cracks me up! Baby M is mellow, cute and might be worth trying to sneak home with me (though there's no way D wold let me get away with his little bro)!

Thanks, C family, for allowing me to be a part of your holiday images... can't wait to see you again soon!





Beloved | Orange Newborn Photography, Orange County, California

As a mommy, I feel there are not enough words to describe the emotions you experience when you first lay eyes upon your first baby. The children who follow are just as magical, but that first baby is this magical emotion that you have never, ever experienced and could never have prepared for.

I was so thrilled for my dear friends, A&M, who welcomed their first baby back in November. After much anticipation, sweet Avery made her debut and left her mommy and daddy madly in love. I saw it in their eyes the minute I walked in to the hospital room. I had no doubt that Avery was going to be welcomed into a loving family, but it gave me extra heart flutters to visibly see that adoration pouring from them. So beloved.

It was the biggest honor to capture Avery's newborn portraits- she is completely stunning! Try not to fall too much in love; her mommy and daddy have declared her a keeper :)







And then there were three...


No better Christmas gift!


Thanks, A&M, for sharing your precious gift with me- you know I love her!
