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!

Senior Pictues at the Getty Center: Sarah
I had a great time with Sarah shooting her senior pictures at the Getty Center in Los Angeles, CA. One of my favorite parts of doing senior sessions is hearing about their plans for the future. Seniors are right in the middle of one of the most exciting times in their life and they are full of dreams, excitement and smiles! Sarah will be going pretty far from home for language school soon as she follows her passion and the Lord. Congrats on being a senior Sarah!
Ryleigh: 6 Months Old
You’ve seen this little cutie here on my blog before! You can see her first portraits here. She’s six months old now and cute as ever, even though she cried just about the whole time. We’re all entitled to our bad days. 
We did manage to get a few good photographs of her though.
A Valentine’s Day Inspiration Shoot!
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
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!
Birthday Photos at the Park: Camden is 1yr!
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.
