The first warm, sunshiny day of the year, we headed down to old town Orange with this troop of super cute girls. Oh, and we brought Dad along too! Mom was ready with a suitcase full of new clothes and the girls agreed to model for lollipops…… so we headed off around town. We discovered a few new funky spots as well as revisited some of my favorites. All in all, we had a great time and at the end of the session, I waved goodbye as they headed out on a car trip! Enjoy!
Tree Climbing, giggling, jumping, skipping, twirling, oh my……. this was such an active afternoon. It is kind of funny, cause it started out with two beautiful kids who looked shyly at me without much expression, and ended with lots and lots of crazy silliness! As it turns out, these two fabulous kids have grandparents that live directly behind me, so they were from my ‘hood. I loved all of the candid shots we got from just playing throughout the park. This park is not one I photograph in very often, but I am definitely going to start working there more frequently. I loved getting to know the whole family! Enjoy the beautiful portraits!
One of my favorite things is discovering a new beautiful place in Southern California to shoot! This spot was a fabulous find! The lighting was yummy, the architecture was gorgeous and the couple was stunning! Not to mention that the Ana (the soon to be bride) is Victoria’s best friend (if you ever visited our original location in Laguna Hills, you will remember Victoria the fun & fab photographer)! I had such a great time on this shoot! Victoria supervised and I got to take all of the in between moments. I honestly felt like I was in Europe with the City Hall building as our backdrop. Enjoy all the images!
Anna and I were so fortunately last week to be involved in all of the festivities leading up to Angela and Ali’s Wedding Number one (Wedding number two will be in India, complete with an elephant!) Angela looked stunning is her fuchsia Sari with all the beautiful accessories to match. Ali was so easy going and fun and even let us take a portrait of him getting his hair done by two stylist! You could tell immediately that these two were loved by friends and family alike. I heard so many words of praise for Angela, from her employers to her family to her best friends! And Ali’s family and friends all flew out from New York on very short notice to share the wedding day. For me, the day was a dream come true. I loved all of the details of the ceremony itself and the beautiful colors and fragrances that were a part of the ceremony. Thank you so much for letting us share the day with both of you! Enjoy~
The brides hands!
There are all kinds of ways to get a cutie like this engaged in a photography session. One of my favorites is “where is the turtle” (or ladybug, or frog, or lizard)? We started by actually finding a lizard. The only problem with the lizard, was he was getting all of the attention and love, and me and my trusty camera were forgotten. Soooo, we moved on to, “Where’s the turtle?” I love kids and their imaginations. We never actually found a turtle, but we still had a great time playing the game. The best part, is that this little doll is my friend Kim’s daughter, so she played right along with us! I bet she is still searching for the turtle! Enjoy!
We really worked hard to get the pouty look! Maybe this is just a little too sad?
Awwww, she managed to get the perfect cross between soft lips and smiling eyes! Good job!
One of my favorites!
Almost done!
