Christmas at my house!

Christmas is almost here!
I’ve aways liked Christmas.  In the past few years I’ve grown to LOVE Christmas.  This year, maybe more than any other year, I’m aware of the importance of Christmas.  I guess I’ve just been overly aware of the hurt and pain that fills this world.  A lot of it has hit pretty...

Meagan & Stephen- Riverside Engagement Photographer

One of my favorite things is when I get to photograph siblings of past clients.  It’s so fun to be asked to be part of one of the most important days of a family’s history, but then to be part of more than one… well that’s just an amazing honor.
This one’s super special.  Meagan is...

Hempel Family- Fullerton Family Photographer

Well it’s definitely that time of year.  Time for Christmas photos!  It’s so fun for me when I get to photograph families from year to year.  I love seeing how the kids grow and how their personalities develop.
Seems like my families have a lot of boys, which means, LOTS of energy.  Which in turn stresses...

Williams Family- Fullerton family photographer

I just love this family.  You’ve seen them a couple of times on my blog this year with the addition of baby Tessa!  Jennifer does a great job of styling.  They are a PERFECT example of how to coordinate without being “matchy-matchy”.  One dose of cuteness coming up!
These kids crack me up!

These little tigers go...

Kristin- Pasadena Headshot Photography

I’ve heard that the friends that you make when you’re in the “trenches” are some of the deepest and are the ones that last the longest.  Kristin and I bonded years ago in such circumstances.  When we met we were on the same team preparing to go to Rwanda on a missions trip.  I called...

Lewis Family- Santa Cruz Family Portraits

Facebook is pretty great in a lot of ways (and not just because I get to see all sorts of fun videos of cats).  I love that I’ve gotten to connect with people I haven’t seen for years, including family.  My cousin Bobbi lives in Kentucky and I hadn’t seen her in at...

Eric & Kristen (and Miles)- Huntington Beach Engagement Photography

This engagement session was so fun.  I think it’s the first time one of my couples has brought their dog.  Eric & Kristen’s puppy, Miles proved to be very popular!  People kept stopping us to talk to him and ask what kind of dog he is.  He’s just so handsome and has such a great...

Ronda, Spain- A sweet surprise

You know… I realized that I never finished blogging my trip to Spain.  So I’m determined to finish before the end of the year!
When last we checked in on this traveling duo, they were in Granada.  We had decided that we would rent a car for part of our trip so we could see more...

Mark & Yasmin- Laguna Beach/Cannon’s Dana Point Wedding Photography

Wedding days can be exhausting, both for the couple and for me!  Emotions run high and there’s a lot going on.  I often feel like I’ve been hit by a truck when I wake up the next day.  But Mark & Yasmin’s wedding was different.  When I left, I felt refreshed.  I don’t know if...

Aimee & Mike- Fullerton Wedding Photography

I think there’s just something romantic about trains.  Maybe they make me think of old movies, I’m not sure.  But I love to ride the train!
That’s why I love Mike & Aimee’s story.  They met on the Metrolink!  How great is that!  Every day each of them would board the train on their commute to...
