Laguna Beach Family Photography

“I love this time of year because we get to do our fun Creative Sessions, which allows us to have a different kind of shoot with a theme.  The lighting, family and location for this creative session was so awesome, I love how the shots came out!  This beautiful family showed up on location with some great outfits!  They brought tons of awesome clothing, perfect for this whimsical setting.  I had such a great time on this shoot running after their little one and taking modeling shots of their beautiful boy.  The kids were truly a joy to be around and of course, as you can see, are just gorgeous!  Thank you so much for coming out and enjoying the morning with me!”  -Anna

Handsome Guy Headshots!!!! San Juan Capistrano Family photographer

One of my best gals brought this little cutie out to play last month in San Juan.  He was a perfect angel, and at less than two years old, he had already perfected the “Blue Steel”!   I just can’t get over his beautiful eyes.  I know Mama is never going to be able to say no to this little guy.  AND at the tender age of less than 2, he already has a modeling contract.  Enjoy!

Could you just die at his yummy lips??? Beautiful Smile!

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???

I heart this shoot! Family Photography in Irvine Regional Park

Sometimes when I slow down to think for a little while, I realize I have some really cute props, outfits, hats, etc… that I haven’t seen in a while.  Take this cute heart chair for example…. I love this chair.  When I found it I thought, “this will be great for sassy (yes, I know this is my favorite word) senior shoots, fun boudoir sessions and of course kiddo sessions.  But then, I got busy and piled lots of stuff in front of the chair and forgot about it for a while.   Sooo, when these great clients asked for something with a valentines feel, I thought, yes, I have a great chair that would be perfect in the park.  It was like finding an old friend and I got excited all over again.

The chair worked out great, as did the fun tutu and wings.  Anna and I don’t usually shoot in Irvine Regional park and now I am wondering why?  It was so beautiful with perfect afternoon light and the kids loved the pond and were really engaged during the whole session.  I am definitely adding Irvine Regional Park to my list of favorite places to shoot.  Thanks to these two cuties for making such great models.  Enjoy!
