Villa Rockledge Wedding: Laguna Beach Wedding Photographer

There are not words to describe how excited I was to shoot a wedding for Villa Rockledge’s Wedding brochure!  This historic property was built in the early 1920s and is filled with so many beautiful photographic opportunities, from a private beach, to gorgeous balconies to a medieval turret.  We also assemble a “dream team” to get our bride looking haute couture!  Berit, from makeup by Berit and Laura for hairstyling.   From the flowers to the beautiful linens and chairs, An All Inclusive Event at Laguna Village did a spectacular job giving the estate a wedding makeover.   If you are interested in checking out this beautiful spot, they are having a Valentine’s weekend open house complete with appetizers and a full bar for $40 per person or $75.00 per couple.  The event is hosted today from 1-5 PM and tomorrow from 1-5 PM.  Click here for more information!  Enjoy!

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!

The Beautiful Dorn Girls

It is funny how you can know someone for a long time, but see them differently when you look at them through the lens!   I have always thought that these two gals are really beautiful, but I didn’t realize how truly stunning Diane’s daughter is until I started photographing her.   I know she could have a very successful career as a model if she is interested.   The best part about both of the Dorn girls is that they are genuinely really nice people.  Thanks so much to both of you for working with me!

Smith Family Urban Session

Any place in Orange County that has good photography potential is really busy, busy, busy right now!  This weekend I had the pleasure of meeting the Smith family and fortunately for me, they really wanted an Urban feel to their session.  I can’t even begin to say what a great time I had with them.  Their kids are fantastic and were really up for any suggestion!  We scouted around the area, and I fell in love with a door.  Unfortunately, it was probably private property, and when I told them to sneak up and sit down, I had no idea that a BIG German Shepard was also sitting near the front door, with NO LEASH.  Needless to say, you won’t find any images with the cool front door here, but we found plenty of other great spots.  Enjoy!

Costa Mesa- Family Urban shoot

It feels like we have been trying to plan this session for over a year!  My friend Jen has absolutely gorgeous kids and we keep scheduling and rescheduling her shoot.  Finally, we got the entire family out for a funky urban session.  There are literally too many awesome portraits from this shoot to even choose my favorites, but here is my first attempt.   Her youngest was born to model and her oldest daughter has such great style and flair, I think I will work with her next summer to style my sessions!  Thank you for coming out to play last week.  Looking forward to showing you all of the images!  Enjoy!
