Let’s see, what has been going on in my life over the last few months.  Oh… we moved.  Yep, we decided to embrace the simpler life and move from our 3400 sq ft. house in South Laguna Beach, to our 1200 square ft cottage in the village.  With two kids in high school and the next phase of our lives right around the corner, we decide for the next three years we want to keep our family close.  We also want to spend more quality time together, walking to the beach, hiking the on the trails, cooking together, traveling to the kids swim meets together, without the stress of an enormous house payment.  And, I could not be happier!

I have also been pursuing my goal of having more commercial clients.  I love collaborating on photo sessions, helping create a voice for my clients.  It really helps me push my creativity and I love to collaborate with other professionals.  I also think it really help create a more editorial vision for my portrait clients.  Here is a sneak peak at one of my current project A.N. Designs denim.  I absolutely love these jeans and own several pairs.  I am looking forward to a long, fun and prosperous relationship with this amazing company! Enjoy!

 

Some of you might recognize these two from a recent styled wedding session we did at Sweet Pea Ranch wedding venue.  They were the perfect models for a vintage inspired outdoor wedding.  So naturally a styled photography session for the super fashionable and fun Beachbrella brellas made perfect sense.    I joked with both of them that this was like their honeymoon.

So most of you know I love Boho fashion and these umbrellas fit perfectly into my personal style.  I love the extra details on the fringe, especially the wooded beads… so amazing.  And the best part is that they are super UV resistant so no nasty sunburns after a day spent on the beach.  They also include a beautiful bag that fits over the shoulder, so they are easy to carry.  No trying to juggle everything on the way down to the beach.

Beach Brella is a premium, boutique ‘brella (short for umbrella) brand created to capture a luxury lifestyle beach and resort experience. Their brand mantra: “Made In The Shade” sets the tone for our unique line of ‘brellas that stand apart from the crowd.

These umbrellas can be purchased locally in Laguna Beach and other premium boutiques or online at their website www.beachbrella.com.  Checkout just a few styles from our recent session:
