Newborn Twins: Caylee & Carter

admin — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 08:59:05 +0000

This shoot was my first newborn twin shoot and I was extremely excited for it. Patricia contacted me originally to take her maternity but as things tend to not go how we plan she ended up needing to wait until after the twins were born for pictures. These two precious babies truly are Christmas miracles! Caylee and Carter are a boy and girl, and Carter’s lungs are not healthy enough yet so you’ll see him with oxygen on in the pictures. I say he was being a good big brother and giving his sister more nutrients while still inside mommy. This family is beautiful and if you think of them say a prayer as Carter is still having some health struggles that they are learning more about and continuing to manage.

Had a fun and short time with Evelyn for a few headshots the other day. She is incredibly sweet!

San Juan Capistrano Serra Plaza: Yianni & Vanessa

I attended my first SoCal Photog Shootout last month and had the best time! I was able to learn from great photographers, work with lovely models and photograph some amazing details. This event was by far one of the funnest things I’ve done to grow as a photographer and meet other photographers. Attending events like this one deepen my passion to do what I love and always teach me something new.

All the vendors, leaders, stylists and hair & makeup designers did a beautiful job at creating an awesome shootout. Thanks to each of you!

This post is just Part 1 of several. I’ll be posting more photographs over the next couple weeks. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy the photographs!

Wedding Send Off Ribbon Wands

admin — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 05:55:37 +0000

I’ve recently fallen in love with these Send Off Ribbon Wands. I think I mostly love them just because they are used in the send off scene in Sense and Sensibility which happens to be one of my favorite movies. I didn’t realize these even existed until watching the movie. I just love timeless wedding traditions and wish I would have thought to have these at my wedding.

You can get these personalized Send Off Ribbons online at weddingfavors.org and if you’d like to see the clip from Sense and Sensibility I’ve posted it below.

A Valentine’s Day Inspiration Shoot!

admin — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 07:26:38 +0000

Last year I started a new tradition, a fun and creative Valentine’s Day inspiration shoot. It’s my one shoot a year where I get to be as creative as I want with the location and little details. I picked out all the decor and picked up the cupcakes from Nadia Cakes in Palmdale, CA. Below are several photographs from my Valentine’s Day inspiration shoot at the Ventura Beach Pier in Ventura, CA. I love the lace detail on the bride’s gown! (Thanks Luke and Sharon! You two were perfect for it!) This shoot was also featured in Sparkle & Hay wedding blog and you can see that post here.

Bianca + Joel: Wedding in Victorville, California

admin — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 05:28:19 +0000

Bianca and Joel are two very sweet people and it was a joy to be part of their wedding day in Victorville, CA. They met in college while they were attending Pensacola Christian College. One of my favorite things about their wedding day was that you could sense just how much they loved their family and friends. Although it was Bianca’s big day she didn’t hesitate to congratulate her good friends on their pregnancy during her wedding reception. Her friends had been trying for a long time to have a baby and they told Bianca at her wedding that they were expecting. Joel and Bianca are a lovely couple and I am so excited for them as they begin their journey together as a married couple. Below are some images from their wedding. Enjoy!

Bianca found out that one of her good friends was having a baby. Her friends have been trying for a while to this was big news. It was a sweet moment when Bianca announced the exciting news to her guests at the reception.

Baby Ryleigh: First Portraits

Had the privilege to photograph this little gem recently. Such a precious and cute little girl she is! She managed to down an entire bottle while I was there even though her dad said she just ate. Pictures can give you a work out I guess.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas….

admin — Sun, 05 Dec 2010 08:00:49 +0000

Celebrating Christ’s birth is quite miraculous and I absolutely love the Christmas season!! There’s something about the lights, music, manger scenes, busy stores, hot cocoa and cool air that makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

While we did get off to a bit of a late start on the decorating we managed to get it done this last week. We put the tree up on Wednesday night while watching little women and drinking some hot cocoa. Little Women was my pick of course. My mom has probably watched little women 100 times, it’s quite the family favorite. We’re all decked out for Christmas now and feeling pretty jolly! Here are a few pictures of our tree and the pictures we took today for our Christmas card. Merry Christmas!!

I love this guy.

And because we like to make silly faces…

Birthday Photos at the Park: Camden is 1yr!

admin — Tue, 30 Nov 2010 06:46:40 +0000

Enjoyed time at the park with Camden Mordh and photographing him for his first birthday. It was so fun to photograph this cute little guy! His mommy Danielle and Aunt Kristi did lots clapping, singing and noise making so we could get some good smiles. We had to scare some 10yr old boys out of the baby swing but as soon as they were gone we put Camden right in. I think the swing was his favorite part of the day! He loved going high like the big boys do. Well maybe not like some big boys but he was having a blast. Happy first birthday to Camden!!

The picture on the left below is of Camden when he was just a week or so old. They grow so fast!

Here is another one of Camden’s feet at just a week or so old.
