Undercover Part V – Laguna Niguel, CA {Children + Personal}
- Every winter I love to do these sessions with my kids and they are my absolute favorite! I encourage every parent to do these to capture the sweet and fun moments of your kids rolling around under your covers and just being silly. Now, don't let these photos fool you. About five minutes after these were taken sibling r[...]
This Is Us - Laguna Beach, CA {Personal, Family + Lifestyle}
- I don't usually make an appearance on my own blog, but this year I wanted to try something different. Thanks to a tripod and a remote, I decided to take our own family pictures this year. I wanted to make it all about the kids, but it was nice to get a few shots of my husband and I in there as well. We headed to one of[...]
Smith Family - San Juan Capistrano {Lifestyle + Family}
- I love photographing families year after year! Since I'm new to the West Coast, that doesn't happen often. I was so happy and honored to photograph The Smith Family again this year. We had so much fun last year at our beach session and I was so stoked to photograph them again this year! We met up in the old part of San[...]
Bunge Family - Dana Point, CA {Family + Lifestyle}
- Loved getting to know and photograph The Bunge Family this past weekend at Salt Creek Beach for a little Mini! I'm always about adding furry family members to the shoot - just look how cute this family is!
Pilon Family - Laguna Beach, CA {Family + Lifestyle}
- We've been so blessed to have this sweet family in our lives. We met the Pilons last year and they have become an extension of our family and the closest friends we have here in California. Our kids are best friends, the men surf, and us ladies have shopping in common! They chose Victoria Beach as a setting because of [...]
Ryan Family - Laguna Niguel, CA {Family + Lifestyle}
- I'm lucky enough to live on the same street as this sweet family. I met the Ryan Family this past weekend at one of my favorite spots - Serrano Creek Park. We spent the evening exploring, collecting sticks and playing in these amazing tee pees someone left behind. Here is a sneak peak of our time together! [...]
Hendricks Family - Laguna Niguel, CA {Family + Lifestyle}
- I'm still adjusting to fall in California to be more like summer. I do miss the fall foliage back east, but I think I found a great alternative to fall foliage with these gorgeous Eucalyptus tree filled park at Serrano Creek Park. This was the perfect setting for my mini session with the Hendricks Family. We got to w[...]
Undercover Part IV - Laguna Niguel, CA {Children + Personal}
- I have not posted a blog for a long time now. Life in California has kept us busy exploring and chasing sunsets. For the past few winters I have been doing "Undercover" photoshoots with the kids. I'd always wait for a cold and sunny day with some snow on the grown to help bring in as much natural light as possible into[...]
Smith Family Mini - Dana Point, CA {Family + Lifestyle}
- The first time I met the Smith Family was at Salt Creek Beach when they attended my son's birthday party back in October. It was so fitting to meet up with them there again to have their family mini session. We spent our session chasing the sun and took a lot of snuggly pictures on the beach. It was the prefect fall Ca[...]
Crea Family Mini - San Clemente {Family + Lifestyle}
- I have never encountered such harsh sun as the day I met up with the Crea Family. We met up about an hour and a half before sunset yet the light was so blinding. We had to seek refuge from the glare and ended up doing most of our shoot under the San Clemente Pier. I had such a great time with this sweet little family! [...]
Fodrini Family Mini - Laguna Beach {Family + Lifestyle}
- The first family I met when moving to California was The Fodrini Family - so it seemed fitting that they were also one of my very first clients here too. We met up at the beautiful Treasure Island Beach at the Montage Resort. We had a quick little mini session but as always, I had a hard time narrowing it down to a few[...]
Spreckman Family - Newport, CA {Family, Children + Lifestyle}
- I couldn't of asked for a better setting for my first photoshoot in California. As most of you know, we moved here from Pennsylvania over the summer and I'm constantly in awe of beautiful landscape here. I met up with the Spreckman Family at Crystal Cove for their session and as most beaches here, it took my breath awa[...]
