Meet Blake. He was a high school senior this year and recently graduated! It was kind of a wonderfully random connection that brought us to Disney Concert Hall for his senior photos on this summery evening and I think we all had a pretty fun time. Blake is really a fun and wonderful human being…. […]

Sometimes life happens in a way that’s amazingly unplanable (Yup, I made up a word). But sometimes amazingly unplanable happenings are God’s blessings for our futures. For the Clinard and Watson families, life’s amazingly unplanned blessing is that every single one of them is pregnant….. at the same time! Whoa. Let’s get a head count […]

What can I say, it’s that time of the year. I have yet another KILLER senior portrait shoot to share with you, and this one I’m particularly excited about because it was so heavily inspired by Anthropologie. Meet Emily Edmunds, a soon-to-be graduate of Azusa Pacific University with a musical degree! And can I just […]

Last time we saw Melissa was waaaay back in 2009 when I was just starting my business, Christopher and I had just started dating, Melissa was 2 years out of high school, and the world was a little simpler. The world, my business, and Melissa have changed SO MUCH SO QUICKLY it kind of makes […]

This is the year Katie graduates from Azusa Pacific University. All her hard work is almost done, and to celebrate, we took some fun portraits around Orange County. I love her smile and her sweet quiet nature. I love her sass and sense of humor. She’s got a heart of gold, and I admire her […]

Meet the Davidson family… a fun loving, beautiful group of people!  We met at Irvine Regional Park to take some holiday family portraits on a beautifully sunny winter morning. We explored around the park, found lots of acorns, pretended to be archers with sticks as our bows and arrows, and ended our time gettin’ our […]

November was a month of family portraits for me. I got to spend the late afternoon hours running around and documenting the love of moms and dads and kids! When Amber asked me recently to photographer her growing family, I was SO EXCITED because I had seen the adorableness of two year old twins through the […]

I got to know Gatsby through Czarina’s Instagram. About a year ago, Czarina and her new husband Brad (I shot their wedding last year) got the cutest little Corgi puppy named Gatsby. I followed along through their pictorial journey as they trained their puppy, and discovered personality in the little guy. I fell in love […]

Fall is my favorite time of year. I’m sure I sound like a broken record if you’ve followed my blog over the years because every fall I post photos of beautiful fall leaves and how thankful I am for them…. bla bla bla. But in all seriousness…. I really do love fall. A few weeks […]

Shay is a recent graduate preparing to step into the acting world. We met at the Los Rios Historic District to take some head shots and portraits. (Side note: it was a ridiculous weather day. Not only was it as humid as Dallas, but it was sunny with a thin layer of clouds that acted […]
