Terrifically Two | Rancho Santa Margarita, Laguna Niguel Child Photography, Orange County, California

One of my favorite parts of what I do is following up with families, seeing children grow and building a relationship! I have had the pleasure of spending time with this adorable family twice before- once for little G's 6-month portraits, and again when he turned One! His mommy and daddy are so much fun to be around, and clearly, he is about as cute as they come.

I was thrilled when G's mommy told me it was time for his 2-year portraits! It is amazing how fast the year has passed- he is so grown up! I could have squealed when I saw his little Mr. Man outfit and his adorable face. It was so much fun to catch up with one of my favorite families!

If you know much about 2-year old boys, you know they just never stop moving... so shooting G's two year pics at 38 weeks pregnant was quite the challenge! This was my last session before maternity leave, and it was perfect!

Thanks, C & N, for allowing me to be a little part of your family's memories! I am blessed!

Senior Supermodel! | San Juan Capistrano, Orange County, California Senior Portrait Photography

I seriously love doing senior portrait photography- LOVE.IT! The subjects cooperate with me, I get their humor, and it reminds me of the time I spent working in youth ministry for the church for many years of my life. This session was especially fun, as I've known this gorgeous young woman for quite some time- she was a part of the youth group I worked with! It makes me feel pretty old to be doing her senior portraits, but it was such an honor.

Kaleigh is not only stunning, but smart, athletic, funny and overall just a wonderful young woman with such a sweet soul! I'm so excited for what college holds for her, and I know she is going to move mountains in her lifetime! Look out world- Kaleigh is going places!

We ran around one of my favorite places in the world, San Juan Capistrano, to find lots of great backdrops for her senior portraits... too much fun! The hazy, golden goodness of the sun was almost too much... I had so much trouble narrowing down the images to show her and her family...


Beautiful setting, adorable outfits and lovely girl... could it get any better?!


I mean, really... straight from a magazine, right?!


Thank you SO much, Kaleigh, for trusting me with these special memories! So proud of who you are and where you're going!
