Here is the first post with my new love seat!  I think it goes perfectly with the field background.  We were able to shoot here all day last Friday and we got some beautiful images.  The Smith family was so easy!  We snuck their “mighty dog” back there for a few quick shots.  Their daughter even played for us….. it was great!  Enjoy!

I have said it before, but this season’s weather is NUTS!  We have had  lots of reschedules and it has made for some pretty crazy weekend shoots.  BUT, you can’t reschedule a wedding.  Kami and Jim thought that they would have to get married in Kami’s parents house because it was a DOWNPOUR all day.  The kids tried to help by doing a “stop this rain” dance.  I guess it worked!  At 2:30 PM the clouds parted and let the sunshine in.  We had one little minor shower, but other than that, this wedding had absolutely gorgeous lighting!  Though it was cold, we had an awesome time on the beach and these two love birds were a blast to work with.  The best part was that Kami had no problem getting the dress wet!  She had such a great attitude and it made it a great experience for everyone.  Hope you enjoy the images, here are just a few of my favorites!


Ray and Sylvia were such a pleasure to work with!  I felt like we had kindred spirits as they share my love of the outdoors!  Bugs, climbing, laying on the ground, etc. were no problem for these two!  We were so blessed with a beautiful morning last week with low fog and perfect temperatures!  Although we did get in a little trouble from the rangers for going off of the main path, everything else was perfect.  We ended our session with seeing a family of deers!  It was truly magical.  Enjoy!

Wow, Mary and Clint contacted me just a few months ago saying they would be in Laguna Beach for their wedding in April and were looking for a photographer.  As most of you know, I typically require that all brides and groom work with me on an engagement shoot prior to the wedding so we get to know each other.  I was a little worried about this wedding, since I did not meet Mary until the day before the ceremony.  BUT… there was no need to worry because we hit it off immediately.  Mary was so warm and funny and I knew that we would have a great time on her wedding day.  Clint was so obviously in love with Mary and the two of them were a BLAST to work with.  Thank you both so much for including Jessica and myself in your special day!  Here is a sneak preview of some of my favorite images!
