Laguna Beach- One Big Happy Family!

Rush, rush, rush…. I am hurrying to catch up on my posts today!   Since Anna and I are constantly shooting adorable families with small kids, it is fun now and then to take family portraits when the kids are all grown up.  While I can’t say that there were no kids in this session (a beautiful baby boy traveled all the way from Washington DC to join in the fun), the majority of kids at least had a drivers license.  Although I didn’t have to say “Daddy wears Diapers” (although I probably would have gotten some great reactions from that one), we still had a great time.  Someone even ended up in handcuffs!  Anyway, thanks so much for taking time from you busy holiday schedule to bring the family down for a session!  Enjoy!

Ellis Family- Laguna Hills

Finally after lots of scheduling and rescheduling we got my parent’s photography session completed!  Before I show any portraits, I have to give a BIG SHOUT OUT to Denyse Angus for styling the photography session!  She is awesome and has incredible taste!   I love all of the layers in the clothing, I love the hats, I love the boots, I just love the entire look

Thanks to everyone involved with helping my vision for the shoot come to life.  I hope you enjoy the images Mom and Dad!

Laguna Fields- Graham Family

You would never believe it by looking at these beautiful images, but it was raining on us during this photo shoot.  Everyone was unbelievably good sports, to brave the weather and lots and lots of bugs.  I have to admit that the beautiful colors in these images would not be possible without a little bit of rain.

Many of you have received our newsletter about my involvement in InCourage Foundation.  Jeneen is on the Board of Directors with me and is just an awesome person.   AND, what about her boys????  Are they gorgeous or what.  Not only are they extremely handsome, but they are totally into hats (which most of you know is my obsession).   I love how sweet and innocent the boys are in these portraits.  You can definitely feel the love between all of the family members!  Enjoy!!

Kaiya Eve Styled Session

As most of you know, I LOVE all things Kaiya Eve.  Kandi, the owner, has amazing style and is a woman who like myself, LOVES vintage anything.  Anna and I, with lots of help, put together a wonderland inspired set in the middle of my favorite field.  We lugged all this colorful stuff out into the middle of nowhere and crossed our fingers that it would all look great once it was set up.  Well, we were not disappointed.  I am officially in LOVE with this shoot.  From the unbelievably stylish clothes from Kaiya Eve (click on the link to visit her website), to the way the candy looked on the table, to all of the beautiful models, I think it was one great, big, fat success.  Enjoy the sneak-peek.  More to come.

Gionet Engagement Session

Ray and Sylvia were such a pleasure to work with!  I felt like we had kindred spirits as they share my love of the outdoors!  Bugs, climbing, laying on the ground, etc. were no problem for these two!  We were so blessed with a beautiful morning last week with low fog and perfect temperatures!  Although we did get in a little trouble from the rangers for going off of the main path, everything else was perfect.  We ended our session with seeing a family of deers!  It was truly magical.  Enjoy!
