Orange County Maternity & Newborn

I have known Christopher since he was 4 years old.  When he asked me to photograph his wedding in Sweden, I couldn't be more proud or honored to not only be there to witness his marriage to the beautiful Alexsandra, but to capture these very special memories I will never forget.

5 years later, they welcomed their first born, Theodore Lucas, into the world.  It's such an amazing and wonderful opportunity to photograph their little family -- words just can't express my happiness for them.  LOVE THEM.

Ladera Ranch Portrait Session

In August 2004, I married a wonderful man with 3 children: Brandon, BriAnne and Lindsey.  A month later my son Brandon (who at the time was only 11 years old) was introduced to someone he had no idea would be his best friend forever, someone he would consider his brother.  His name is Andrea.  I am so privileged and honored to have been a part of Andrea's life and to witness the transformation from a little adorable Italian boy who loved ice cream and video games, into an amazing, big-hearted, loyal, loving and intelligent man.  I love him so much, and consider him one of my kids.  When he asked if I could do some portraits of him, I was beyond excited.  xoxo

Coto de Caza Family Portrait Session

I have been photographing the little Pryce, for a couple of years now.  But back in June, she gained a little brother, Pierce.  Here are his newborn photos.  And now, recently, it was exciting to photograph the whole family, with Pierce now 8 months old!  :)  Such an adorable family!  Love them!

Irvine Wedding ~ Michael & Jennifer

Michael and Jennifer met as teenagers, hanging out with the same group of friends, who also were heavy metal fanatics, and would frequently attend metal concerts together. They fed off of the aggression, fast guitars, and pure energy! Entirely unknown to Michael at that time, Jennifer had a secret crush on him. They remained friends for a number of years, always enjoying each other’s company. As time went on, they lost touch.  But after a couple of years, they began hanging out again, and more frequently.  They became inseparable, enjoying each other's company, listening to music, and going to concerts as often as they could.  Needless to say, there was never a shortage of laughter.  Before you know it, they fell for each other.  Jennifer fell in love with Michael's cynical sarcasm and macabre sense of humor. Michael fell in love with Jennifer's her pure heart and kind, genuine personality.

True to form, Michael & Jennifer made their grand entrance with Limbs by Agalloch, followed by their First Dance with Is This Love by White Snake.  It truly was a blast!
