Monica & David. Proposal. Los Angeles Wedding Photographer.

January 2, 2014

David contacted me a month prior to his sweet little shenanigans that went down in Santa Monica. He is like a real life rico suave while Monica is a doll…and together they have an uber cute baby boy, Liam. This session was all about the ring and their love for one another. Davie made a lunch reservation at the Penthouse. I walked in and they were snuggling in an indoor cabana. I hid. After a few sneaky texts by David, which was my cue, he was down on one knee and I was snap-snap-snapping away. It was quick and sweet. They hugged and then she finally realized I had been there all along. Monica and I giggled like teenage girls while everyone in the restaurant clapped for the newly engage couple. The love birds were on cloud nine and I was just there watching behind my lens as we walked down 3rd street to take some more photos.

Monica and David are in love. They completed each other before they were even engaged, even before they had baby Liam. She had his heart and he had hers. Congratulations Monica and David! This new year is all about you! mb1 mb2 mb23 mb24

Jeannette, Rick & Baby Mackenzie. Family. Orange County Family Photographer.

January 2, 2014

This family, along with mint green, really grew on me during their insanely adorable session. Why so adorable? Well… little cutie pie Mackenzie wore a fluffy tutu, while Jeannette wore a rad pair of grey boots and Rick was sporting a gingham mint green shirt so they totally incorporated a great color scheme for the family photo session. You don’t want to end up looking like Violet from Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (the original of course), wearing violet purple from head to toe. So take it from this cute little fam bam. Mix and match shades and colors. Enough of my fashion shpeel, lets talk about how little Mackenzie was so scrumptiously cute and full of smirks. When babies give me smirks, they know they have me wrapped around their finger. She really made me work and thank goodness she did because out of all the afternoons in December, this must have been the coldest… Brrr. So while I was jumping up and down trying to get this 3 month old babe to laugh, I was also secretly trying to keep myself all warm and toasty. Thanks Mackenzie! Jeannette and Rick you two were also just oozing out photogenic-ablity (I made up this word okay) with the love that you two shared for your daughter and each other. Thank you so much for allowing me to take a glimpse of your tender moments to capture these new family memories.

Patty, Art, Santino, Sebastian, Caleb. Family. Orange County Family Photographer.

December 27, 2013

The definition next to the word family should include: Safe. Of course when a family is together they should feel loved and have fun, but I think the most important feeling a child can have is feeling safety with his mother and father. Patty and Art have provided that safety net for their beautiful family of five. I could just tell the way they held each other, spoke to one another, and played throughout our session that Patty and Art have established a very secure, nurturing, and loving home for their three boys.

During this session on this beautiful Southern California afternoon, their three boys kept me on my toes. I had to think fast and photograph even faster but at the end of the evening the images we created seemed so serene that you would have never known I was getting in my 5K workout for the week. Along with all of their fun spirited personalities, Patty and Art’s boys were also affectionate and gentle toward each other. Patty and Art you have a gorgeous family that I can tell is filled with extra love and and tenderness. Excellent job! By the way Patty looks way too darn hot for her youngest only being four months. I mean! The photo below is my “favorite fave (think of my camera as a huge clock around my neck)!”

Jr. Smash. Los Angeles Family Photographer.

December 24, 2013

Look at him! Happy first birthday little Junior. Lily, Jr.’s mama, asked me to help her come up with a winter wonderland theme for her winter baby. So I thought…..and thought…..and came up with a white winter camping concept. As soon as I saw Jr. change into his Smash outfit, I was floored. Too adorable I tell you! The hat, suspenders, and leggings….Oh my!. I’m glad I choose to go with all white because it matched just perfect with Jr who gave us little smiles here and there, but once his tummy was filled with the deliciousness of the cake he wasn’t shy anymore. Happy birthday little man!

Erika & Ryan. Engaged. Los Angeles Wedding Photographer.

December 11, 2013

She likes a glass of wine (my kinda girl) and he likes sip’n on Jameson. They’re like king salmon sashimi and a philadelphia hand cut….cuz that’s how they roll. Completely different yet totaly complimentary. The fact is they just work because of the most important things they value: family, their pups, and just being together. They met a few years ago at work and really knew how to keep their relationship on the D.L. (Down Low for all you non 90s kids…because you know I just love the 90s lame acronyms). Well, now let’s get back to the beautiful Erika and charming Ryan. They still carpool together and Erika still gets butterflies in her stomach when they are together. Isn’t that the best ever? I think that’s when you know you love the guy for sure!

So before Ryan became prince charming he kinda had an anticlimactic way of giving gifts for special holidays like Christmas, birthdays…you get the idea. That is until he laid the whopper on Erika a few months ago. On this particular weekend, Erika was running late (which she never does) while making their way to Vegas. She still had to pick up Ryan to catch their flight so of course she was a little irritated when he asked her to come inside and wait for him. As he met her before she entered the house, he was carrying his nephew….and there in his nephew’s tiny hands was a ring. He urged the little guy to give it to his Auntie Erika. She was floored. Not only was she make-upless but his entire family acted as if they were hired paparazzi for TMZ as they were photographing and videotaping this very special occasion. How could she resist Ryan’s super secretive surprise proposal?

Erika and Ryan I absolutely loved photographing the two of you. Seriously, fun, fun, fun! It’s pretty crazy how your dogs are totally like you two, completely different yet perfectly compatible. I can not wait until your wedding.

Diana, Ario & Baby Noah. Maternity. Orange County Maternity Photographer.

December 3, 2013

Hugs and kisses are definitely food for the soul. With a little princess on her way, this lovable family of three will soon be four. I have watched, prayed, and embraced Diana and Ario since before their first baby (Noah) was born. At about six months of age, he had to undergo Cranio surgery putting them through some tough times. Yet, no matter how many times their faith was tried, they continued to push forward and love on. Indeed they are blessed and during this season of hope and family, what could be a better gift then a newborn’s arrival? I’m certain that Noah will be a caring and protective older brother. During the session he smothered mama with love and played alongside dada. Although he is almost only two years young, you can tell by his little smirk that he knows his very own playmate will arrive soon. What’s even better is that Diana’s sister Emily is also expecting a girl and they are due just weeks apart. Lucky duckies I tell ya! These cousins are going to have a blast together. Diana and Ario, congratulations on your sweet pea! I can’t wait to meet her and dazzle up her newborn session with bows, sequins and of course some pink!

Kim & Victor, Eric & Isa. Family. Los Angeles Family Photographer.

November 25, 2013

Another year photographing this beautiful family of four. When I first met Kim and Victor…and their lovable littles, I wished one day I would have a pair of my own. Thanks for rubbing your boy and girl vibes on me Kim…it worked! I love the way these parents are so involved with their kids’ extra curricular activities and interests and of course wanting to document it all. Last year, Eric turned himself right into a crime-fighting super hero right in front of my own eyes (put a cape on and I’ll tell ya, magic!) and Isa loved all things girly like dressing up as a disney princess. Now, Eric is a baseball stud and Isa a prima ballerina. Kim, I’m totally going to borrow this idea from you. I want my kids to experience their interests, but I also want to be able remember them through beautiful images as well. Victor and Kim you have a precious set! Happy Holidays ya’ll:)
