orange county child portraits | annah

It’s that time of year again!  I can’t believe Annah is turing 4 this year.  She is no longer the baby that was scared of the grass or the toddler that called older kids “babies”.  This year, Annah followed directions and I didn’t have to chase after her to get a shot!  Ok, maybe limited chasing.

Happy birthday Annah and I look forward to meeting your new baby brother this summer.

Parents ask me all the time about how long a kid and baby portrait session is.  My answer is always…we’ll know when they are done.  Here is Annah- done.

A lot of people are curious about how I started in this industry so here is my story.

In 2003 while I was going to FIDM for Merchandising Product Development, I interviewed for a job at WeddingChannel.com.   I’ve always been fascinated by weddings and at one point, thought about being a gown designer.   I was super nervous for the interview, but everything went well and I started my first day there on March 17, 2003 as the Wedding Shop Merchandiser.  So what exactly did I do? My job was to photograph all the products that were sold through WeddingChannel.com’s Wedshop.  You can still see a few photos on theKnot.com right now!  Follow this LINK.

I can honestly say I wouldn’t be where I am today without working at WeddingChannel.com. ..

  • My first bridal shoot was on top of the building’s roof with Vera Wang gowns.
  • I got to meet Robert Evans and watch him shoot at his studio.
  • Practiced shooting with the best models/coworkers!

Slowly, I started to photograph more people and the rest is history.  I shot my very first wedding in 2005 and haven’t stopped since.  Here are just a few from way back when…

Here’s Andrea & Jason with Ben at 1 week old…

My very first maternity shoot

This might be my first baby portrait too!

This was from my very first wedding- ever.  I was hired for about 3 hours to cover the ceremony and reception at I can’t even tell you how much I was paid.

Here are some recent photos of my old WC coworkers who turned into clients and great friends.  You guys are the best!

Hope everyone learned a little more about me today and enjoyed this post  :)   I’ve been so lucky to have amazing magazine and blogs such as Inside WeddingsStyle Me Pretty, Wedding Chicks, Rock n Roll Bride, Amy Atlas Blog, and just this week…Daily Candy featured my work.  Thank you everyone for all your support and I hope to keep creating images that you will enjoy.

Orange County Baby Photography | Capri

Capri loved being outside, but not so crazy about the chair at first.
