G + S | Orange Couples Photographer

One key to a long marriage is celebrating your love for each other through portraits.  G and S did so.... just because.  They wanted pictures without the kids.  Just a portrait session dedicated to their love, their marriage, them.  I sooooooo enjoyed this session.  I encourage more of you to do the same! 

My Annual Visit with the G Family | Costa Mesa Family Photography

Annually like clockwork, the G family contacts me for their family portraits.  They were actually my very first stranger clients!  But obviously, that doesn't last long!  I have shot at least 1, 2 or all of their family members on 6 occasions!  Of course they are much, much more than strangers to me now!  In a big way they are the core of my business!  They love capturing family moments along their journey of life, I love photographing those moments for people to treasure, so we love getting together annually... sometimes more often than that!  It's simple really!

G Family, I hope you enjoy your sneak peek of your 2010 family pictures!  I love watching your family change before my lens!  Thank you for sharing life moments with me ;-)

Laguna Beach Portraits | Orange County Family Sneak Peek

I was lucky enough to photograph this beautiful family down at Laguna Beach!  Everything about this session was fabulous!  Little A thought I was hystercial, (I try, but some are harder than others!  LOL!  And when all else fails, I have candy!  hehehe!) and even though his little sister M didn't fall so easily for my wacky antics she still cracked a smile when it mattered!  And of course mom and dad were great too!  It felt good to get my feet in the sand!  I think I am up for more beach sessions... it seems like it has been so long!  I'd forgotten how much I love them!

Y family, I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

Love this shot of them walking on the beach!

I love the genuine expressions I got in these next two pics!

Field of Dreams | Facebook Fan Appreciation Winner!

The R Family was the winner of the Facebook Fan appreciation drawing for the Field of Dreams Session.  We had the session last week.  T and I went to HS together, so it was fun catching up!  I haven't seen her since our 10 year reunion... so, I guess that was just last month (*wink*wink*)!  Her boys are soooooo adorable!  And her youngest has mysteriously blue eyes... boy do I love his blue eyes!  And I don't think her husband could be any sweeter!  T, you have a beautiful family and a beautiful life!  Enjoy your Sneak Peek!

Field of Dreams | Tustin Family Photographer

I took the L family to the yellow field in Irvine for another Field of Dreams family photo session.  I know the L family because these cute twins are good friends with my daughter.  It was fun to shoot a family I know.  I hope you enjoy your sneak peek, L family!

An Engagement Sneak Peek - S & D

We went to Old Town Orange for this fun Engagement session. We had so much fun! I loved every moment I spent with them. I love seeing couples so crazy in love the way S & D are! We did so many different things for this shoot that it was hard to narrow it down for images for the blog, but I think I may have chosen some favorites!

First Beach Session of the Year! F- Family, a Sneak Peek!

I was so lucky to photograph this beautiful family down at the beach. It was my first beach session of the year and I loved getting my feet wet again! F family, I hope you enjoy your sneak peek! It won't be long now before your gallery will be up and ready!

Sneak Peek - The 'S" Family

It is always so much fun photographing friends, and the S family was no exception! Of course, it is so hard to choose just a few favorites for the sneak peak, so I did go a little heavy on the images this time.

Here is the beautiful S family:

And 1 one of S and R:
Sweet little M:

I love sibling pictures, and I adore M and big bro J:

One of just J:

And would it be a session for me at the beach if it didn't include my signature silhouette???

And Mom had a great idea to get some of J in his Taekwondo uniform. She said they don't do pictures for Taekwondo the way they do for girls in dance and wanted to get some of J in his gi
And I HAD to include this one of J up on this cliff. It was a really scary spot, but J was super brave and showed the fearlessness of a real martial artsman:
