Long Beach Baby portraits | Victoria

admin — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 06:26:01 +0000

Everyone, meet Princess Victoria. She is 2.5 years old and loves high heels, her fuzzy crown, dogs, and yogurt. She may look familiar to a few people and that is because this is her 3rd appearance on my blog. I’ve been photographing Victoria since she was a few months old and can’t believe what a little lady she is becoming. Tim and I were lucky enough to photograph her parent’s destination wedding in Puerto Vallarta a few years back and we can’t wait to shoot their 5 anniversary photos next year. Also if you look up on the banner, the couple in front of the pink wall is Victoria’s Mom and Dad. Here are a few of my favorites.

Newport Beach Wedding Photographer | Therese + Dee

admin — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 16:45:09 +0000

The conclusion of my photo shoot with Circle Ten Events has finally arrive. Part of what makes my job fun is meeting amazing people. Therese and her husband Dee are not just adorable, but I think they can be comedians on the side. Usually I have to make up anything to make people laugh, but I think I need to bring Therese with me on all my shoots from now on. Thanks guys for making this so fun!

This is not just any wedding gown. It was Therese’s mom’s gown taken apart and rebuilt for her special day. I’m glad she wore it again for the photo.

Special thanks to: Linh at Everyday Flowers, Jamie from Jamie Michele Make-up, Rochelle Randall for hair, Irene Legaspi for hair and PRES Gardens in Newport Beach.

Costa Mesa Baby Portraits | Warren

The advantage of having an older cousin who is a photographer is that your whole life will be documented. The disadvantage? Having your adorable photos posted all over her website! Warren is now 8 months old and is becoming such a funny little guy with so much personality. Here are a few from the last time I visited him. Don’t grow up so fast!

How can I not post these?

Disney Concert Hall Engagement Teaser | Anita + Ben

Tim and I headed up to LA this afternoon to photograph Anita and Ben’s engagement pictures. When we scheduled the shoot a month ago, we had no idea today would be game 5 of the NBA finals and Anita might just be the biggest Laker’s fan- ever. So…this teaser is for you Anita More to come on Wednesday’s post!

Wedding Vendors | Orange County Headshots | OC Photographers

admin — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 19:49:34 +0000

I’ve been so lucky in my line of business to meet so many great vendors and fellow photographers. A few of us got together last week at my apartment complex to do a headshot swap. Ask any photographer about having their photos taken and you will get the same answer. We do NOT like to be in front of the camera. You would’ve never guessed from these pictures that Hanssie, Stephanie, and Shawna didn’t like their photos taken.

Here are my a few of my favorites from the day. Also big thanks to Toni from All Dolled Up for making us look fab and camera ready!

Downtown Orange Engagement | Ariana + Vince

admin — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 22:49:07 +0000

Who says long distance relationships don’t work? Ariana and Vince are proof that it does! I met up with these two at Downtown Orange for their engagement shoot last weekend and we had a so much fun walking around finding cool places for pictures. They also brought along their new baby Cole and he was the most well behaved 6 months old I’ve ever seen. I’m saving his photos for another post because I think he deserves his own post. Here are a few fun shots of the love birds, aren’t they stunning?

It will be a fun one in Vegas when these two gets married!

Aliso Viejo Children Portraits | Sophia & Luca

admin — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 18:44:00 +0000

Sophia and Luca are no strangers to the camera. As soon as I pulled out my camera, these two went into model mode! I love photographing kids and see their personalities pop in the photos. Here are a few of my favorites.

See how shiny the apple is? I’ll tell you why on another post later.

The Great Park | Irvine

admin — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 16:55:55 +0000

Tim and I moved to Irvine almost 2 years ago and we pretty much live down the street from the Great Park. With that said, we finally made it to the big orange balloon! The balloon is actually smaller than I expected and I will remember to bring a jacket next time as well.

Downtown Anaheim Wedding | Muzeo Anaheim

admin — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 22:04:48 +0000

Last week, I met up for lunch with my friend Lorena from Palomaya Divine Celebrations and we discussed briefly how beneficial it is for vendors to network in the wedding industry. She was then able to pull together a LONG list of amazing vendors for a special photo shoot at the Muzeo in Anaheim in less than 1 week! Here are some highlights from the shoot.

HUGE thanks to the MUZEO, for letting us shoot at your facility. Can’t wait to photograph a wedding here!
