The JOURNAL

I’m not really the wears pink and lace and drinks Cosmo’s type of girl with a wonderfully bubbly personality. I’m not even really the kind of girl who likes to talk about when I’ll have babies and make a home that smells of vanilla and cinnamon all the time. I hate crying, but I do […]

Last Saturday, it felt like summer had come… finally. (But if you took a look outside right now, you would think it’s February still.) We all met up at Irvine Regional Park, my new favorite shooting place and I met the family. Jeanine’s father, Ron, was celebrating his 60th birthday with the whole family… and […]

Do you ever get those cravings? Annoying hankerings for something? Usually it’s food, for me. Chocolate, to be exact. But lately I’ve had this irresistible urge to consume color. I suppose it’s because of the days growing longer and the weather warming up… or maybe it’s because I sit inside at my computer more days […]

I suppose looking back, English was one of my better subjects in school.

She’s a fashionista from Orange County who’s the epitome of cuteness. He’s a musician through and through who’s got the tall dark and handsome thing going on.

Tonight I got to hang out with John and Liz and shoot them some sweet engagement shots. I had so much fun. Aaaand I can’t wait to show you more…

Shooting weddings is fun. That’s all there is to it. Waking up with the anticipation of a great wedding day is like drugs for me…. and I can’t get enough! That’s why I jump on any opportunity I can to shoot a wedding… whether it’s my own clients I’m shooting for, or helping another photographer… […]

I never considered myself “fashionable”. I was a jock-ette in high school… which meant I always had a game or a swim meet and had to wear team shirts and sweats etc. After high school, I worked at an Aquatics Center where I constantly had to battle wet hair and smelling like a pool. Then, […]

It’s not often that I’m asked to shoot subjects other than grown-ups… and it takes a change of gears for me, but I love being challenged. A friend of mine, Allison, gave birth to a beautiful and healthy baby boy earlier this year and now that they’ve settled into each other, she asked me come […]

These make me smile inside.
