Last Saturday was so crazy.  We did at least 85 studio shoots in a 4 hour time span.  We then ran off to the beach for a sunset shoot with some good friends of the family.  On their way to the shoot, they got into a car accident.  I thought sure there would not be enough light by the time they got to the beach, but I am happy to say I was wrong.  It was a gorgeous evening and the huge waves really made the beach look magical!  That, and the unbelievably beautiful lighting!  I love these reflection shots!  Hope you enjoy!

The weather has been so crazy this year, it has been tough to get a beach shoot in on a nice day.  We try to schedule this over about a 4 week period and it just kept being terrible weather.  Finally, this family agreed to go ahead and shoot on an overcast day!  I am so glad we did, because I really like clouds and a little gloom in this location!  These guys were so great and really up for doing anything we requested.  Even though it was cloudy, the water and air temperature was really nice and warm.  Directly after the shoot, they grabbed their skimboards and hit the waves!  Thanks so much to the family for working with me!  Enjoy!

Many of you know Suzi from The Perfect Impression (click to see her website) and that we work together on promotions and her catalog shots.  These images are of her beautiful family.  We rushed down to the beach, as it was getting dark, but we were still able to get some beautiful shots of her whole family.  Her girls are just gorgeous, and very, very giggly!  I love the outfits they choose for this shoot.  The dresses are so “hip” without being too trendy.  Thanks for being patient Suzi!  Enjoy!

You would never believe it by looking at these beautiful images, but it was raining on us during this photo shoot.  Everyone was unbelievably good sports, to brave the weather and lots and lots of bugs.  I have to admit that the beautiful colors in these images would not be possible without a little bit of rain.

Many of you have received our newsletter about my involvement in InCourage Foundation.  Jeneen is on the Board of Directors with me and is just an awesome person.   AND, what about her boys????  Are they gorgeous or what.  Not only are they extremely handsome, but they are totally into hats (which most of you know is my obsession).   I love how sweet and innocent the boys are in these portraits.  You can definitely feel the love between all of the family members!  Enjoy!!

I always love it when I get the chance to photograph a family that I know personally.  This fabulous family is local to Laguna Beach!  Unfortunately, we did not have much beach to work with, because the tide was coming it, but we still managed to get some beautiful family images.  Four kids can be kind of challenging, but these four were fantastic (although the baby was definitely a moving target)!  Thank you so much for trusting me to capture your family for this holiday season!  I had an awesome time with all of you!
