How BEAUTIFUL is Katie, and her sweet baby bump!?

Katie is a good friend of mine, and she, her hubby Daniel, and big brother Evan are about to welcome baby #2 into their sweet family! As soon as I found out that she was expecting one more , I proclaimed that I was taking these pictures for her! ;)

Katie, I can't wait to meet your new little man next month!!

Katie, you are beautiful!!!



Probably my favorite of the day! :)
p.s. Would you believe that these last pictures on the water were taken when it was almost pitch black out? yay for high ISOs and a little flash :)

Seriously...how cute are these children!?

Their mommy Christine and I actually went to high school together, and after months of saying we were going to do these pictures - we FINALLY got together and did it! :)
It was so fun getting to follow these kiddos around the old train tracks, and explore an old train car that has been sitting in the same place for years now. Johnny LOVES trains, so it was the perfect place for him to go on an adventure. And of course, big sister Aurora was just as excited to get in on the adventure too!
Sweet baby sister Scarlett was such a beautiful, patient little thang. She did so well waiting for her brother and sister, and it was a fun end to the session by hanging out with her for some quiet time in the grass.

Christine has done the mall portrait studio thing in the past, so it was a nice change for her to let the kids have fun and just let them be kids ....because who wants to remember the time you went to the mall and tried to force the kids to be happy? Real memories , and fun adventures are just so much more fun to look back on! :) It was a fun day for all of us! :)












I could have just died over this soft warm light. :)





























Hello sweetness!

Orange County Wedding Photography - { Janelle & Tommy : Married! }

How do you even write a blog post about one of your favorite weddings ever!?

So I mentioned in Janelle and Tommy's engagement post that this sweet couple honestly made me love what I do even more, and the wedding was no different!!!
Its so refreshing to work with a couple so sweet, detail oriented, creative, loving, real, and of course beyond BEAUTIFUL. And to top it off, its easy to see that they love Jesus, their family, and friends - and they all clearly love them back. So its easy to say that we just adored this couple and their sweet families! :)

I could seriously go on forever about how much I just love Janelle and Tommy, and all if these amazing details....but I will let the pictures to the rest of the talking! :)

The most adorable wedding set up ever!!




















Did I mention how beautiful this couple is!? ;)











I don't typically post formals on the blog, but how flippin cute was their bridal party!?








...and all of the details were just to die for!

Janelle and Tommy, we clearly adore you two and wish nothing but the best for you two in the future. I hope we get to stick around to watch your beautiful family grow! :)
