Sleeping Beauty | Orange County Children's Photographer

Kate was so tired the other day from skipping- no wait, make that refusing- her nap, that around 5pm she knocked out on the couch. We didn't let her sleep too long, but I took advantage of the stillness to grab some quick shots of my sleeping beauty!





Oh those lashes!

More weddings! | Orange County Wedding Photography

As a second shooter for Kristen from Kaptured by Kristen, I had the chance to shoot this fun wedding at the beautiful French Estate in Orange, CA. It is such a beautiful location- vintage and cool, and as cozy as home!

Brenda and Matt were laid back and sweet- a joy to work with! Thanks for letting me be a part of your day, guys!

Catching up- A Big, Fun Greek Wedding...

I know, I know... it's been a while! My excuse is that life has been pretty busy! Between the demands of my other job & my family, moving to a new home and the exhausting work of growing another baby (hooray!!!), suffice to say that I have not been bored. While I haven't been shooting as much as I'd like, I did have the opportunity to second shoot two weddings in January with the wonderful Kristen of Kaptured by Kristen! She is always so generous to allow me the learning experience- and I am thrilled that we're both expecting baby boys in July! What fun!

So on to the weddings! Here is a taste of Liz & Steve's beautiful day! If the movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" didn't make you wish you were a part of a large Greek family, their wedding certainly would have! The warm family, the beautiful church, the laughter, the music and the endless night of fun dancing and celebrating were all wonderful! Congrats you two- no one could ever deny the love you have for one another!

Siblings | South Bay Family Photographer

It's been a while! Last month, I had the pleasure to spending some time with a dear friend and her siblings to grab some sweet shots of them together for their parent's Christmas gift. As an only child, I love spending time with siblings who love each other and enjoy being around one another- it is a connection I never had, but that I appreciate so much!

We spent some time down by the beach and at the park- I love these guys!

Simple Holiday Shopping | Mission Viejo Family Photographer

As the holidays approach, we all go a little crazy with all the shopping and extra errands that need to be done! This year, give the gift of custom photography! Gift certificates are now available in any amount!

Almost 2 | Mission Viejo Child Photographer

After the initial panic set in that my daughter is, indeed, turning two in a little over a month and that I really to needed to get on the ball as far as party planning, I realized that it meant I needed a great picture for her invitation. Enter, pink pettiskirt from ChicBabyRose on etsy.com! L-O-V-E.

Patiently Waiting | Mission Viejo Maternity Photography

My sweet friend S was such a good sport and responded to my casting call for a maternity model! She and I had our daughters a few weeks apart, and now she is patiently (or not so patiently, ha!) expecting a little boy!

At 38 weeks, she was perfectly radiant! Thanks for coming out with me, S! I can't wait to meet Baby #2 (and learn his name!!!)... I'm sending some labor dust in your direction ;-)
