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.

Orange County Engagement Photography - { Carrie & Bradley : Engaged! }

Carrie and Bradley were serious troopers, as Sean and I asked them to hike all over the place. There were a lot of bugs, and plants that liked to attack me with their stickers (okay…maybe flip flops were a bad choice on my part) , but I’m pretty sure I can speak for all 4 of us when I say that it was totally worth it!!!

Carrie and Bradley, thanks so much for putting up with my crazy requests, allergy attacks, and ever growing vocabulary of words you never knew existed till our magical time together. Sean and I had an awesome time with you guys, and seriously can’t wait till your wedding in August!


p.s. Can I just say that I am REALLY excited about these pictures? I just did. And I am.

okay folks, this one?



or this one?

Fullerton Portrait Photography - { Jen : Just for fun }

Let me tell you a little story:

Jen was once a little bit bummed out.
I asked her if she wanted to get together to hang out, and maybe take a few pictures.
She happily agreed.
We hung out.
We chatted.
It was freakin hot, but Jen looked fierce anyway.
I took some pictures.
We enjoyed each others company.
Now we are both happier people in general, because hanging out with other cool people will do that to ya ;)

Here’s proof:












































(ummm....hello sexy girl!)

The End.

(…..but not really because we will hang out again soon, maybe there will be some margaritas involved though…..and I will probably leave the camera at home.)
