Jessie Smith... On Camera Strike!!!

The title says it all. This little boy is on strike for taking pictures!!!! No but really he wanted nothing to do with me or my camera. Well I can t believe it has already been 5 months since little Jessie was born, If you remember this little boy was born premature and weighed only 3 pounds 15 ounces! Well he is bigger now and I think he remembers how I squeezed him in football helmets and bowls and now he wants revenge!! Well he just going to have to get over it cause my camera and I will be coming back for more! Here is your sneak peak

Krenek Family!!!

What an amazing and beautiful family. I met the Krenek's down at Laguna Beach on a day when the waves just so happened to be crazy. The weather was hot but very overcast as we set forth to do some family photos. I had such a blast and the Krenek family was ready and willing to do anything. Overall I was able to snap some amazing photos of their family and capture the special bond that they share with each other! I hope you enjoy your sneak peak!

A Day To Remember

As the mid afternoon sun started to set, Leah held tightly to her father's arm as he walked his baby girl down the aisle. No longer a baby, but a beautiful bride. Excited and enamored by her beauty, Jordan's eyes layed fixated on his soon-to-be bride. Tears started to flow and even hidden behind the camera, I have to admit, I too was choked up. That's when you know it is really meant to be. Their love story dates back 15 years ago when the two met in an online chat room. They started dating and the rest is history. It's one thing to attend a wedding, but when you get the awesome chance to actually photograph the beginning of a life long journey, you see it through different eyes. I see the small things that most people miss, like the first time her father saw her in her dress, or when he slipped a penny in her shoe for good luck, or how about the deep breath of the Groom as he see's his bride round the corner of the aisle. These are the things in life that make my job the best. I just wanted to say thank you for letting me take part and I hope you love your sneak peak as much as I do!

Twins!!!!!!

Who doesn't love twins!!! And how can you not fall in love with these "oh so cute" toe headed cuties! I fell in love at first sight. These two little ones were so well behaved and had a blast exploring around the Fullerton Arboretum. I have to say that these twins are Mommy's pride and joy. You can see it in her eyes and in the way she interacts with her children. First born to their family, so of course we can all relate. Such a beautiful bond that it makes me stop for a moment and cherish the blessings in my own life! Hope you enjoy your sneak peak! There are so much more to come!

Oh how I love to "Trash the Dress!" It's so much fun and I love taking that bridal look to the next level! For those of you who have never heard of trash the dress, the title might scare you away, but just keep an open mind for one second. It's all about getting one last photo session in before you box up that dress FOREVER. Yes that's true, you will never have another chance to wear it again. Well, we hope not... ha ha... These shots can be done anywhere you like and can get as crazy as you like. It's all up to you! So let's give it up for my beautiful model. Thanks for the great pics! Pass it on to anyone you know that's getting married or just got married!

Tiny Little Bundle!!

When I met this family I could feel their excitement for their new bundle of love instantly! This new addition to the family, "Brady Gordon Geoghegan" was born on June 15th and weighed 7 pounds 11 ounces. He is the first born grand child for both sides of the family. What an exciting time. This little boy is blessed to have 5 great grandparents. When I heard that I was so thrilled because I think our grandparents and great-grandparents leave such a powerful impression on our lives. His mommy and daddy said "We feel so blessed to have our son in our lives!" I am so glad I could be a part of this time in some small way! Hope you enjoy your sneak peak!

Hats and Cute Boys! What More Could I Ask For!

This little boy brings a smile to my face every time I get a chance to photograph him. If you all remember back a few months ago I did small write-up on this little guys daddy who is away on duty fighting for our country. Dominic is always full of smiles and I just cant seem to get enough. I was so glad when his mommy called me back for some more pictures! She said, and I had to laugh because we all do this. "He has a really cute outfit and I need a photo of it!" ha ha But when you have cute kids its hard to not want those lasting images! Hope you like your sneak peak!

Happy 1st Birthday!!!

This little girl will be celebrating her first birthday! I met the Priess family through a friend of a friend. I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon with this little cutie, her mommy and auntie. We had so much fun using props and playing dress up. The youngest of 3 girls, this little one will have big shoes to fill, but can you imagine how much fun it will be growing up with two big sisters! Lots of clothes!!! Well, Happy Birthday and thank you for the beautiful photos!
