My first thought on arriving at the Surf and Sand to photograph Kirk, his family and his groom’s men, was…. who is using those amazing cars for their wedding.  Lucky me!  It was Kirk and Kristen.   Although the skies were overcast, it was a beautiful, warm day.  Perfect for an outdoor wedding at Laguna Village, An All Inclusive Event!  We made our way down to the bridal suite to find Kristen and her gals, a little nervous but so excited.  Let me just say this.. her wedding dress was spectacular!  I know she worked really hard dieting and exercising before her big day to look breathtaking in her wedding dress, and all I can say is Mission Accomplished.   The ceremony was so lovely and sweet.  You can see, and feel, from the ceremony photography how much these two really love each other.   Kristen was such a good sport to follow me down to the beach (even though in her words she is NOT a nature person).  I know it was worth it!  Enjoy some of the highlights from their wedding day!

First and foremost I want to welcome my new beautiful, talented and all around great gals, Emily and Rachel!  You haven’t heard from me for about a week, cause we have been busy, busy, busy training and getting then up to speed on everything Blue Sky’s!   Second, I want to share with you these adorable images of my friend and client, Lisa’s, new baby girl!  Although it was really tough to get a big toothy grin from her, I love all the different expressions we were able to catch.  Thanks to her big brother for coming to the rescue and entertaining her during the session.  He got lots of funny faces and event got her to stick out her tongue!  Enjoy!

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!

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
