Dan, Brook, Fiona, Zoe and Alex!

Dan and Brook are some of the greatest parents I have met. Both have worked with children since they began college and definitely have an understanding how little minds work that I wish I had. They are patient, hilarious and so loving! They adopted Fiona and Zoe several years ago and then got blessed with Alex just this last winter. This was the first time I met Alex and he was the happiest child with what I call smiley eyes. My husband also has smiley eyes. It’s something that is a special quality and can best be described by saying their eyes smile just as big as their regular smile. Not everyone has this quality and it’s something I love!!! I had such a great time with all of you, not to mention it really was the easiest shoot I’ve had with three small children EVER! You guys rock! Here are just a couple of my favorites!001

Ruby & Travis | Orange County Wedding Photographer

Ruby & Travis Are In L-O-V-E!

A couple of months ago, I received this phone call from a girl named Ruby. My first reaction was to smile because I LOVE that name (sign #1). Then, we got to talking and completely hit it off (sign#2)! We had so much in common and I couldn’t wait to meet her in person at her wedding site, the Inn At Rancho Santa Fe. After a quick drink, she showed me around the grounds, shared all of her visions for her wedding day and THAT’S when I realized that this girl has personality, spunk and style all in one (sign#3) … I hit the jackpot !!

I knew that we were going to have a great time working together and neither of us could wait to get started. So, the following week I finally got to meet Travis, who is just as nice as Ruby, although, a little quieter. He was such a trooper, going along with all of our ideas, doing whatever Ruby wanted for the entire day. GOOOooooOOO Trav!  They were genuinely happy together and got along so well. I know they are a perfect pair. I really cannot wait for their wedding. It’s going to be absolutely amazing to watch this couple share their I Do’s together and I feel so lucky to be there to capture all of it for them :-) Thanks for being so unbelievably amazing guys … you are gems!

Style Me Pretty | Orange County Wedding Photographer

May 25, 2010

I’m so thrilled to share this fun engagement session I did recently that is being featured on Style Me Pretty today. I LOVE this blog and can’t tell you how many brides I’ve talked to who get their ideas from this site. If you haven’t heard of it and are getting married, you most definitely should check it out, bookmark and refer to it for the latest trends. I am going to post the rest of the photos from this session soon. Ruby and Travis rocked it!!!!!

Fun Photo Booth | Orange County Family Photographer

St. Paul’s Country Picnic 2010

This last weekend, I participated in St. Paul’s Country Picnic by doing a Fun Photo Booth and we all had such a great time with it. I had decided to funk it up by using mustaches and lips on a stick and fun glasses. I’ve seen this as a great trend for weddings and thought that the kids would have just as much fun with it as us adults do :-) The kids definitely had the same amount of fun as the adults. I enjoyed watching all of these great families participate and just have fun with each other. It really was a treat and I’m so honored to have had some part in these families/friends day. Who knows … maybe this will be a new trend for me …
