:: andrea & mike : engagement ::

If engagement sessions were ice cream sundays, this session would have had whip cream and a cherry on top. An adorable couple. Sunset light. The beach. The Santa Monica Pier. A beautiful 70 degree evening with a light breeze. Oh yes, I love California.
Mike and Andrea are getting married this coming October in Santa...

:: my socks have officially been rocked off ::

I love my clients. Seriously. You may not realize it, but I have the best ones. I always end up working with people who have the quirkiest and most awesome senses of humor too (probably why I love them so much). You may remember Ron & Anna’s awesome video from their wedding, but I think...

:: rockstars ::

Ok, so I’m going to let all my non-photographer readers out there in on something. Rockstar photographers. You might laugh, but the seriously exist. No, I don’t mean dude(tte)s with cameras and guitars that paint their faces and rock out while shooting your wedding (though admit it, that has the potential to be seriously awesome)....

:: the TRUTH about motherhood : part 5 ::

Do you see this people? Do you see it? Maybe one day I’ll post photos of my mother and I at similar ages (I’m a carbon copy) so you’ll understand why it’s somewhat shocking to me that my child looks nothing like me. So who’s the kiddo on the left? That’s my dad.

But all the way through high...

It’s late. I’m exhausted. And I’m totally giddy. I absolutely love having the opportunity to 2nd shoot and today was no exception. I simply had to share a few images before turning in! Full blog post coming soon. Not being in the hot seat led to some epic and out of the box shots for...

:: sandeen family : sneak peek ::

I’m so excited about some of the images from today’s family session with one of my favorite families, the Sandeens! I’m pretty sure I spend most of my teenage years at the Sandeen home, so when they called to have me do their family portraits while everyone was in town, I was thrilled, flattered, and...

:: jenifer & anthony : wedding ::

Jen & Anthony were married this past Saturday, July 4th, in Santa Clarita and I’ve hardly seen a happier couple. Jen’s cute crinkle-nose-squinched-eyes smile simply lights up the room – and when she smiles (which is often), you find yourself unable to resist joining her. Their gorgeous day went off without a hitch, complete with...

:: most ridiculous proposal. ever. ::

For the gentlemen out there who have proposed recently or who are thinking about it, I must apologize. If your girlfriend/fiance has seen this, it might explain the Look you’ve been getting.
