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 […]

Holly in Heels is the fashion blogger every girl wants to be friends with. She’s fun, she’s got impeccable taste in fashion, and she’s a VERY talented writer! I remember going to a networking event for female creatives last year with Holly and as we walked in, one girl after another came up to her […]

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 […]

Meet Danyell Weinberg. I first met Danyell eeeeearly one morning in January when she showed up to do hair and makeup for a styled shoot. While we waited for the models to show up, we chatted a bit, laughed at how much we have in common, and well… we really hit it off. Then, a […]
