The Masters Family {Laguna Beach, Ca Family Photographer}

This was my first beach session of 2011. It’s been a while since I’ve shot at the beach and it was a nice change of scenery! It couldn’t have been a more beautiful day. It was about 80 degrees out so the beach was packed. But we had a blast!

V & M: I hope you enjoy this little sneak peek! I think we got some amazing images and I hope you love them! You have such a beautiful family and I had a ball playing with the kids! Enjoy!

Jolie Turns 1! {Orange, Ca Children’s Photographer}

The last time I saw sweet little Jolie, she was just days old. And now look at her! Isn’t she just the sweetest little thing ever?? She is such a doll and a breeze to photograph! She had many outfit changes and was happy as a little clam! I absolutely adore this family! M & R: It was a pleasure photographing you all again. I had so much fun with you and I can’t wait to watch Jolie grow! Thank you for allowing me to capture such a big milestone of turning 1 year old! xoxo

Happy New Year Everyone! {Orange County, Ca Portrait Photographer}

I hope everyone’s 2011 is off to a great start! Mine has been a little hard due to my kids being sick for the past 2 months. But other than that I am SUPER excited about 2011! I’ve got lots planned for this new year so stay tuned!

First up: getting caught up on this poor little blog! I’ve been neglecting it for a while to focus on getting all  client holiday orders designed and in on time, talking care of sick babies, and taking some time off to spend with my family during the holidays. Since most of you have seen our holiday card I can FINALLY post this amazing shoot of my kids from last month for our card. Since I already posted the ones of Landon in his birthday post, these are mostly of Chloe. Chloe was 9 months here and Landon was almost 4 years old. Where did the time go??????

BTW: if anyone is wondering where I got Chloe & my amazing custom headband, you’ve got to check out Banner Boutique on etsy! Lindsay is amazing and so are her headbands! All 47 of Chloe’s headbands (yes, I said 47!) are all from Banner Boutique! So go check her out! Click here to become a fan of Banner Boutique.

A lot of these will for sure be blown up huge to put around the house. Poor Chloe still does not have a canvas of her on our walls. Gotta change that soon!

Happy Birthday Landon!

Well 4 years ago today, I had a teeny, tiny baby boy. At only 4lbs. 4oz., Landon Thomas came into the world. Although he was small, he was a BIG fighter. He spent the first 3 weeks of his life in the NICU here at CHOC with a whole list of doctors and specialists. He was watched very closely during his first year, (and with a few problems) we were relieved that we made it through his first year. It was a tough one, but SO WORTH IT!!! Now at 4 years old, Landon is full of energy! He’s always laughing and telling me jokes (and he’s quite funny!) He introduces himself to new friends as Buzz Lightyear and loves to dress up as all sorts of superhero’s. He’s the BEST big brother to his little sister Chloe. And everyone that meets Landon (from his teachers to strangers) always tell me how they fall in love with him instantly. He’s just got this way about him that makes everyone smile.

So HAPPY BIRTHDAY LANDON!!! We LOVE you so much and you are the BEST little boy a mommy could ask for!!!! I LOVE YOU!!! xoxo

Below are some photos I took of him last month. I will be doing his 4 year old portraits soon! (as soon as this rain stops!) So stay tuned!!

PS: I will be fully back to work tomorrow (tuesday, January 4th) Happy New Year!!

Nate {Irvine, Ca Family Photographer}

Oh how I *heart* this family! They are always SO fun! Every time I leave their session, I remember why I love my job so much. And this session was no different. I was over the moon when I left! The light that day was my best friend. :)

C & C:  Nate is such a doll! I literally could have taken photos of him ALL day! Thank you for being so fun. You made my job easy as pie! I really hope you enjoy your sneak peek! xoxo

Jolee {San Juan Capistrano, Ca Family Photographer}

I was SO excited to see these two because the last time I saw them was on their wedding day a few years ago. I fell in love with this couple the moment I met them so you could imagine how excited I was to shoot their first family portrait. Jolee is such a smiley little one and SO cute!! I would love to see her and my little Chloe play together.

A & D: I had so much fun catching up with you two and hanging out yesterday. Jolee is the cutest thing ever and I can’t wait to watch your family grow! Congratulations on Jolee! She’s darling! Hope you enjoy the sneak peek!! xoxo
