Los Angeles Wedding Photography - { Candace & Sean : Married! }

What can I say about Candace and Sean? They are so fun and laid back!
Candace is honestly one of my favorite brides ever. She is so sweet and so encouraging, her and Sean are people I would truly always consider friends - they are very genuine people. They are just the type of people that you really want in your life, and I think we are pretty lucky to have had them find us!

We had SO much fun at Candace and Sean's wedding! Everything ran so smoothly with the help of Brooke with Orange Blossom Special Events , the food was AMAZING, the music was so fun , and the day was just full of love. And once again (just like their engagement session) , Candace and Sean really put themselves into every detail of their big day! 





I cant get over how beautiful Candace is!

Anaheim Family Photography - {Carrie , Jon & Jack}

I now know from experience how important it is to really make sure to have pictures taken of your baby as much as you can. Pictures of you being a family.
The time just slips away, wayyyy too quick! I have been constantly taking pictures of our baby, since I know how much he is changing from one day to the next.
I feel so blessed to have our first family pictures with my family, and I feel equally blessed to be able to do the same for other families!
So people, if you have been putting it off or if it has been a while since you have had some family photos taken, now is the time!
…alright, so enough of my lecture about having family pictures taken, and on to the goods!

You probably remember my beautiful client Carrie from her fierce bridal portraits. Well a month ago, Carrie and her husband Jon became parents to a perfect little boy, Jack.

On Sunday I headed over to Carrie and Jon’s adorable apartment. We chatted, and I took my time taking pictures of their beautiful family. Jack was such a sweet little baby to take pictures of, and together the 3 of them make a beautiful little family!

Happy 3 month birthday Jordan!

Dear Jordan,

Happy 3 month birthday! The time has seriously flew by faster than I could have ever imagined.
This morning after your bottle , you were standing on my lap , leaning on my chest - doing little baby squats. Only stopping to give me flirty little smiles, and to chat a bit with your sweet little coos.

I know every parent thinks their baby is the greatest, but really....you are. It could be the mommy hormones, but every day (at least a couple times) , you smile at me while doing something amazing and I instantly get teary eyed. You are honestly amazing.

A few things that make my heart beat a little faster on a daily bases:

  • They are not just smiles, they have beautiful little sounds to go along with them. They are shy and sweet. They are so you, and so perfect.  
  • At only 3 months old, rolling over is a thing of the past. Now you are on a serious mission to crawl, and sit up. Jordan, you are 3 months old!....and probably the smartest baby ever! ;) 
  • You now laugh out loud. Simply amazing! 
  • You kick like nobodies business! You sit in your bouncy seat and bounce like crazy with the most excitement ever! 
  • You love TV. At first we thought it was cute that you tried so hard to see the tv when it was kinda out of your view.....but now you have defiantly proven to be your fathers child. You already cant get enough of it, and it makes me feel like a stellar parent ;)
There is so much more that I love about you. I could go on forever. 
But the most beautiful thing so far is that you are the best baby ever. You never get upset, you are full of smiles and love. 

I am so bummed that I have to go back to my day job soon, but I am so happy that we get to leave you with friends that love you so much. 

So Jordan, please slow down - you are growing way too fast and I love you just the way you are! :)

All my love,
Mom

Redlands Day After Wedding Photography - { Janeth & Diego : Married & so in love! }

When you get to write three blog posts about the same couple.... you know youve got something special! :)

I just declared my love for Janeth and Diego in the last post, so I will spare ya for now.

When we shot Janeth and Diego's wedding, we decided that we might as well spend the night since it was not super close to home, we would not be done till a little later, and would be shooting them the next day too..... besides, who doesn't LOVE staying in pretty hotels! ;)

Its safe to say we had very different nights after their wedding. We went back to our hotel room and watched South Bound and Down , and cuddled with our 4 week old baby (who had been with my in-laws during the wedding) in a very big cozy bed. And Janeth and Diego partied late into the night with their friends, celebrating their amazing marriage.
But in the morning we ended up in the same place, we walked next door and shot some pictures of J+D fresh out of bed. It was short, sweet, intimate and perfect.

Here are just a few pictures from their quick day after session:

okay so I pointed my camera over to where we would be taking the pictures , and took a quick shot to just to check the light...and I got this sweet gem on accident. Thank you photo gods! ;) ...Janeth, you are adorable!
