Sarah & Shawn: Orange County Engagement Photographer

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!

San Juan Capistrano Family Session

When I say family, I really mean family!  This is my brother’s family.  His in-laws were visiting all the way from Moscow, Russia.   We had been meaning to update his family photography for over a year now.  Although I shoot all the kids on a regular basis, it is hard to nail down by brother and his wife, Svetlana.  I am so glad we were able to have Svetlana’s parents be a part of the session.  The last time I saw them was at my brother’s wedding (14 or so years ago).  The amazing thing is, that they look almost exactly the same.  Those Russian winters must be good for the skin :)!   Anyway, I know I am bias, but I think their family is gorgeous.  Enjoy!

My sweet niece is great at the pouty look.  I love those full lips! This is more like it!   The family with “Attitude”!  This is what I mean when I say, act sassy! Sean, now this is a great headshot!  You need to quickly replace your mug on aboutme.com! The look of love! My favorite family shot of the session! Can you believe that these are the grandparents? Daddy’s girls!

Me and my gals at Disney for the Day! Orange County Family photographer

If you know me, you know I am passionate about what I do!  Sometimes, it is tough for me to pull myself away from work and just hang with my gals.  Well, when one of my best gals, Patience, invited me to a girls only day at a Disneyland, complete with lunch at Club 33, I decided, I was in.  First, let me point out, that Patience may be the only adult I know that is crazier about Disneyland than I am….. She had a permanent smile on her face from the moment we got there until she closed down the park.   And, Patience’s smile is contagious!   Patience’s birthday wish was to have lunch at the very exclusive Club 33!  Wow, was that place a photographer’s dream!  From the bathroom to the cool balcony, it was just fabulous.  And, I have to say that sipping champaign definitely enhanced the overall Disney experience.   Thanks so much for including me in the fun!  Enjoy:

Outside of Club 33- Just about to ring the doorbell.  You have to wait 5 minutes before they will let you in!

Yeah…… we’re in!  Waiting to be escorted upstairs! Patience’s big moment!  Her dream was just about to come true! the start of the day was a little chilly…. Kim and Patience went to shop for cute disney scarves to keep them cozy!
Blow out the candles babe!  This is your day!
Okay, I am in love with this bathroom.  Do you think Disney would let me do a boudoir session???? That’s right girls, you are HOT!Pirates or mice???
