Fullerton Portrait Photography - { Nikki & Anna : Mother + Daughter Portraits}

One of the fantastic things about what I do is all the fun chances I get to catch up with old friends. Nikki and I went to high school together, and I was so excited when she contacted me for some fun pictures with her mom. We met up, chatted and snapped a few pictures along the way. Here are just a few of my favorites. They were so so fun to hang out with .

Nikki and Anna , thanks so much for thinking of me to hang out with you guys and take some pictures of you guys being you! :)

Fullerton Portrait Photography - { Anthropology Inspired }

So the photography community is just where I fit in, its where my heart is just so happy!. I thank God all the time for giving me this opportunity to do what I love along with some fantastic people who share the same passion! Not only are these people so fun to hang out with, but also so generous! I have grown to love all my photog girl friends so much and look forward to any time I get to spend with them on these fun little projects, dinners, or networking events – it’s ALWAYS a good time!


One of these fantastic ladies is Wai Reyes…she is an amazing photographer!!! She put together a fun shoot recently and invited me and a few other friends to come along to share a fun few hours of just hanging out, chatting, and shooting the model together. How blessed am I to have such sweet friends!? I love it!

Wai, Katie and Sirena, I had such a fantastic time hanging out with you! Love you guys lots and lots!

A big thanks goes to Carla & Karla for some amazing make-up and hair . And to Emily for being such a fab model - you ladies are amazing!!!!

Every one else, hope you enjoy these fun Anthropology inspired shots as much as I did taking them!

{ My CRAZY WPPI Schedule }




Hey there peeps! So on Sunday I leave for my very first year at WPPI (Wedding & Portrait Photographers International) in Las Vegas.. and let me tell you, I could not be any more excited! As you know if you are going, it’s pretty pricy, so last year it was just not possible for me…and I felt so left out reading about everyone’s adventures on Twitter and Facebook, but this year I was offered an fantastic opportunity to go, and I am sooo thankful for it!

I am rooming with some of my photog besties (Katie, Wai and Amber….LOVE YOU GIRLS!!) and I know we are just going to have a FANASTIC time together!! :)

So here is my insanely packed “schedule” ….but I am thinking realistically here and its more like “my list of things I would absolutely LOVE to do, but we will see how much energy this pregnant lady can muster up to pack it all in” . So, this is what I really hope to do, and I really really hope to see lots of you there! So if you see me, please stop me and say “Hi!” , I honestly am so excited to see everyone!!!!

Oh and since lots of people have asked me, no….Sean will not be there with me :/ …. Hopefully next year!! :)

Please be sure to leave a little note in the comment section below and let me know what you are MOST looking forword to checking out at WPPI, or if you have any first timer tips for me! xoxo!
