Baby photography session @ our garden studio Newport Beach, CA

Bri and Celina brought their adorable kids in for a shoot right before the studio went under construction. Here are some of my favorites. Outside photos were taken in our studio garden!

She looks like we posed her, doesn't she? I love what kids do on their own....


The cousins:




Can't get enough of this cute hat!

Redlands LDS Temple wedding photography - Redlands, CA

Here is another couple that I haven't posted yet - so fun! Their personalities made the whole day. They got married at the LDS Temple in Redlands, then we went to a Garden for some photos after their ceremony. They were so sweet -

Brian got this shot - I love it:














He got some air on this one -

Studio remodel update

We are making slow and steady progress on the studio. I am excited to get this thing finished and have a party! :)

***PLEASE excuse the quality of the photos - they were taken with my iphone. Not the best - but I always have it with me.

Wires hanging everywhere - Brian obviously did all the electrical


They are making beams across because there were certain beams we couldn't remove - so they are going to put crown mould on the inside of each box


Here is the original ceiling about to get covered up


Tyler hanging out in a messy studio


This shows most of the ceiling getting covered up


This wall will be where I project the images for proofing. I am going today to get the couch that everyone will be sitting on for the opposite wall. :)


More progress on the ceiling as of yesterday:


This is one of four columns that will be on the walls. Two will be on either side of the projection screen and then two will be on the opposite wall (kind of where the shooting area will be).


I got the cabinets on Monday - so once they paint (supposedly next week), and we get the wood floor in (still haven't decided for sure on that) - they will put the cabinets up.

Crystal Cove beach houses engagement photo session - Newport Beach, CA

I love engagement sessions - almost as much as weddings! It is so fun to walk around with a couple who is in love. :) Here are some shots we did for a couple getting married in a few months.

What a difference a haircut makes..... :)

Tyler did very well. I had my mom watch Brian while I took him to Cool Cuts for Kids because last time - Tyler screamed - not whined, cried, or whimpered, but SCREAMED the entire time. This time - he was great. I read a gazillion books and tried to keep him occupied with every animal noise I could think of -

The things we do to keep our kids behaved in public. :)

When he woke up




After his hairS were cut. :)

Los Angeles LDS Temple wedding photography - Lost Angeles, CA

Los Angeles Wedding ~
This wedding was beautiful! The couple got married at the LDS Los Angeles temple and had their reception in La Crescenta. I LOVED the brides flowers! Again - a few months late - but trying to play catch up. :)

The beautiful red headed bride. :)

St. Catherine of Siena parish wedding photography - Laguna Beach, CA

Very pretty church, check it out - St. Catherine's Church in Laguna Beach
This couple was such a fun couple. We hadn't met them before the actual day because the bride called and just booked over the phone. He has been serving for our country and I have so much respect for him (and appreciate everything the service men do for us!). They got married in Feb - so sorry it's so late - still fun to take a peak though, right? :)

Getting Ready





Right before walking down the aisle


Isn't the ring bearer so cute! :)


Dad walking down the aisle


One of the officiants has been a family friend since the bride was really little. It's always neat when they have ties like that in the ceremony.


Some shots around the church before we head to the beach...
