Orange County Family Photography - { Danielle, Ian and baby Ariana }

Danielle , Ian and little Ariana should probably get an award for one of the cutest familys ever. Fer reals.

Individually they are beautiful people, but when they all come together you can just feel so much love. There is just something about the way Danielle and Ian smile at each other, and at Ariana. And of course Arianas priceless faces, you have to love them!
I was honestly smiling the entire time I was working with these pictures , and my face will probably be cramped for the rest of the month ;) .

So I know that I’ve been saying this a lot lately, but this has to be one of my favorite sessions to date. Its true. I mean, the light was just to die for (most of these are SOOC), the family was beautiful, I had my awesome hubby there with me shooting (even though he was not feelin so hot – such a trooper!), what more could a girl ask for?!

So I have a lot of favorites, so help me narrow it down for my web site…..what are your favorites!? (Warning: This might be a very hard choice for you too, but you have got to help me out here!).



yeah...get ready, she's as adorable as it gets....











Love love LOVE this one! :)





Tell me this face is not amazing. :)


Hello? Parenting magazine? surrrree...I guesss you can use my pictures... ;)


Love this!











Danielle , you are so beautiful....Ian , your not so bad either. :)

 I cant get over how beautiful, and at the same time awesomely funny this is!(I know you are smiling as much as I have been with this one!) :)


Hello beautiful girl!





Melts.my.heart.

















Love these next two tons - so I could not choose.

Los Angeles Wedding Photography - { Laura & Genaro : Married! }

Where do I even start with Laura and Genero!? They are honestly one of the sweetest couples we have ever worked with. We just love them! They are just too perfect together too.

I feel so lucky to be able to become friends with our clients, but Laura and Genero are so genuine and so friendly, that you just can’t help but feel like you have been best friends with them forever!

Now on to the big day…. When Sean and I arrived at Laura’s parent’s house, it was different than most wedding days we walk into, normally it’s pretty crazy with the ladies running around getting ready....but we walked in and it was so quiet and calm. Laura was there with a few family members, but mostly she was sitting in the kitchen alone having her make up done. It was perfect and sweet, and so Laura. She was just as patient as can be, and you can just tell, she was just so ready to be Genaro’s wife that day.
That morning just set the tone for the rest of the day. It went so smoothly with their beautiful ceremony and sweet, intimate reception.

Here are some of my favorites from the day! :


















Loved this light....and Laura made it beautiful!























Cant you just feel how happy they are here?!


Like I told you in their engagement post, Genaro plays a mean piano!


Sean took these next two, and I am IN LOVE with them!





So I have no idea why I never asked her before…maybe just because she pulls off “beautiful” so well , but when I saw this gate I asked for Fierce. Are you freakin kidding me!? Laura, you blow me away!














Um yeah…. Laura,you are stunning!!



G…your not so bad either! ;)


These next two were all Sean again, Love um!








Their good friend Jesus made this cake for them (annnd sang in their wedding), isn’t it so beautiful!?



Laura and Genaro, thank you so so so much for letting us be a little part of your big story. We cannot wait to see what beautiful things the future holds for you two!

Oh and once again, a big huge thank you goes out to my BFF Sue Ellen for sending Laura and Genaro our way. You’re the best! :)

p.s. I played around with a few textures for the first time, and I am pretty excited about the little edge and personality it gives those few pictures.....what do you think!?
