Watch Out World... | Orange County Senior Portraits

This girl is going places! I've had the honor of knowing Sam for a few years now, and man- she is one of the loveliest girls I know, inside and out! We had so much fun down at the train station in San Juan Capistrano. Thanks, Sam for shining and always being YOU!

Perfect Fall Day | Mission Viejo Child Photographer

It was a perfect weekend here as far as I'm concerned. Cool, a little rainy here and there... perfect weather for the pumpkin patch and a Pumpkin Spice Latte from *you know where*. Even my daughter had her first hot drink from the 'Bucks... and she is ow a huge fan of Hot Chocolate!

We moved into our home in February and we learn something new every month... this month, we got "Boo'd"! An anonymous neighbor leaves a gift on your porch full of Halloween goodies, then you refill the bag and pass it along to another family! It gave me the warm fuzzies to live in a fun, friendly neighborhood like that!

Our gift was sugar cookie mix, halloween sprinkles & cookie cutters and frosting... we took the opportunity to do a little decorating on Saturday. At the end of the day I thought, "What a wonderful day." I love my family!

Fun Family | Rancho Santa Margarita Family Photographer

I knew from the minute I hung up the phone with this mom that we were going to have a great session! Baby G is 6-months old, his momma is beautiful and fun, and dad is so sweet with his son!

We started off with some basic photos for G's 6-month portraits- he was so serious, but completely charming!


Then we headed down to one of my favorite places, Crystal Cove, for some family shots! Crystal Cove is an incredible jewel of Orange County- with bright, vintage buildings, a lovely beach and tons of charm. The P family looked right at home here. I loved this session and had a great time!

Thanks, P family, for allowing me to capture your beautiful family!

It's the most wonderful time of the year...

M in One-derland | Westminster Baby Photographer

Last week I had the very fun privilege of shooting M's first birthday! M's mom is a part of my mom's group- and in fact, her home is where I took my very first photography class in 2008! It's hard to believe our first born's will be 3 in November, and now her sweet baby girl is ONE!

T is an AMAZING hostess and party planner! M's "One-derland" themed party boasted tiny confections labeled "Eat Me", giant chess game, whimsical paper flowers and so many amazing things! It was too fun! Here is a little peak!





Mom made many of the beautiful decorations on her own... having a party? You HAVE to have some of her creations! Visit her Etsy shop- MLT Creations! Check out these adorable hanging photo decorations... they're so cute I can hardly stand it.



Thanks, T- and happy birthday sweet Miss M!!!

New Man in my Life | Mission Viejo Newborn Photographer

After 9 months of dreaming about our new baby, and of course, of doing a newborn shoot for my own precious little one, our sweet addition made his arrival on July 26th! Introducing our son, William! He's sweet, he's cute and he has a ton of hair!











Naturally, our daughter is quite in love with him, too!



My cup runneth over!

Sweet Kainoa | Orange, CA Newborn Photography

Yesterday I finally met sweet Kainoa! A friend of mine had this adorable little guy two weeks ago, and he is just perfect! He was well worth the wait and all of the stress he put mommy through... but they always are, aren't they? Kainoa has the prettiest blue eyes, but he slept like an angel almost the entire time I was there. Thanks for having me over, Ang! Enjoy your sneak peek!
