A few weeks back I thought I would take a fun few days off with my kids in Lake Arrowhead!  I invited Anna and my best friend Keri and her kids… and my friends Vicki and Russell, and their son Liam and my daughter’s friend Molly… and for good measure I threw in an engagement session among the pines.  I know, do I ever just sit and relax????  Well, my only explanation is that my job is my passion so it never feels like work.  And anyway, I got to work with this beautiful couple!  Can you get over Sarah’s stunning eyes.  And Shawn’s baby blue are also pretty incredible!

I am so excited to photograph their upcoming wedding at Laguna Village.  It is another fabulous event by An All Inclusive Event!   It is only a few weeks away, so stay tune for some more of these two stunners!  Enjoy!

What can I say about these two beauties (I know one is a boy, but he is BEAUTIFUL)!  The weather has been warm, warm, warm, but these two still agreed to bundle up in the winter clothes to “get the shot”!   This shoot reminded me why I LOVE photographing kids.  They had such great giggles and grins and just wanted to play.  I always think the best shots are unplanned  moments in between the silliness, and during this session we had plenty moments.  Thanks so much for spending so much time with me and sorry about the promised Cheese Burger…..it was worth the giant smile!  Enjoy!

Time for me to get just a little bit nerdy!  I got to shoot an engagement session in….. ANGELS STADIUM!!!!!!! Yeah.  You know who was even more excited than me? Lorenzo and Lisa.  I am not kidding you, Lorenzo was like a little kid.  You may know how much I love the “pouty” look.  Well, this was really tough to achieve with the giant grin from ear to ear on Lorenzo’s face.  There is nothing better than photographing a couple in love, in a place they love.  I am so grateful for the opportunity.  So, I have to give a big shout out to our family friend John for setting this all up for me.    I hope you enjoy them as much as I did shooting them!!!!!

Every time I do a photography session I give myself a little assignment. For this Urban Session it was to find a place to shoot in Newport that was entirely new to me! Even though I HAD to use the Ferris wheel (one of my favorite spots), Anna and I still went to scout out a new, urban, funky, grungy area! Success….I love this alley and the old glass door. It doesn’t hurt that the Fernandez girls are cute as buttons and are experienced models. Mom and Dad did great as well. Thanks to the whole family for making the trip down to Newport!  Enjoy.undefined
