I was so impressed with how laid back this couple was. They weren’t stressed at all and were so nice to be around. They really enjoyed each other and their day to the fullest. Here are some of my favorites:
After they saw each other for the first time, they were all smiles.
When I was taking pictures of Erica, my associate was taking pictures of Erick. They were making each other and and us laugh. They were so much fun! (The happy groom by my associate Roya Jade.)
I loved all the lights in the church.

Yesterday I did an engagment session with a very nice couple from my church, Scott & Chrissy. It was a beautiful day with perfect weather. Here’s some of my favs:

Today was a very relaxing day, just hanging out at my parent’s house with the fam. I was feeling inspired. Then there was one of the coolest sunsets I’ve ever seen. This is why I should keep my camera with me at all times:
My nephew Sergio with his guitar.
Then there was my parent’s crazy dog, Mokie also known as “Dopey”. She’s a mini australian shepherd.
The sunset kept getting better!
Flowers with the last light of sunset.
Last but not least there’s Catcher, my sister’s pomeranian. He kept doing the cutest thing with his tongue!

Today I did a family shoot at the beach with the Julians. We had hoped for a sunny day but it was very cloudy. It actually worked out better because the sun started peaking through and made a beautiful scene.
I made them take off their shoes cause it looks cute!
I love these sunsets

Today I got together with my beautiful & talented friends to finish our project. Amy did the make-up and Melody did hair. (Brides please email me for their numbers.) Along with all of our models, we decided to get ourselves all dolled up for a change and take some photos too. Thank you to Steve and Destinie who took our photos and to all of the lovely girls.

Did I say I love to photograph kids? Sometimes they won’t smile and they do their own thing. But that is when it starts getting good. This adorable 4 year old (who is the sister of Averi, see below) just didn’t feel like posing. So I got some quick shots of her playing, which is so much more fun!

Today was the first day it rained a little in Newport Beach in a long time. I liked the way the boats in the marina looked on this cloudy day. I happened to have my camera in the car so I thought I’d take some photos after church.

I love to photograph fun and relaxed families; no stiff-posed shots here! Just fun as it should be.
Happy family! Gage and Nathan were making us all laugh.
Cute little feet.
Believe it or not, I didn’t pose them like this; I think Gage was trying to choke his brother!

This cute couple got hitched at the beautiful Calamigos Ranch, The Oaks setting in Malibu, Ca. They were so kind to us and made sure we ate dinner. And we had fun with them as they partied with friends and family that came all the way from Alaska and New York.
Pretty straps with nice beading, one of which broke off after a fun night of dancing.
I love how happy they are as they come down the asle!

This couple is not only gorgeous but also very sweet. They tied the knot last weekend in a cute little church in Corona Del Mar, Ca. Here are some of my faves:
