Hotel Valley Ho wedding photography - Scottsdale, AZ

Hotel Valley Ho Wedding in Scottsdale, AZ

Brian and I got to go to Scottsdale AZ for a BEAUTIFUL wedding a few weeks ago. The bride and I have been friends since I can remember (probably my first friend in life). Her hubby is one of the sweetest guys I have ever met! They are such an awesome couple and it was so fun photographing their wedding. WARNING _ LOTS OF PHOTOS. I couldn't decide what to put on - so I am putting on a LOT!










The Guys:






The Bride with her sister and bro-in-law






The Ceremony:








Father Daughter Dance:






With destination weddings - it is common to take photos the day after with just the bride and groom. There is no stress and we can take our time finding cool spots. This day was definitely worth it!


























This is where they got engaged - so it's significant to them:










Can't do AZ without a cactus!


All in all - a gorgeous wedding and awesome weekend. Thanks guys!

MARCH OF DIMES - March for Babies photography - Fashion Island Newport Beach, CA

MARCH OF DIMES - March for Babies

This weekend was a great weekend. I was asked to photograph the March of Dimes ~ March for Babies walk at Fashion Island. It was such a cool experience. I just had to take candids - so photography wise - it wasn't difficult - which let me take it all in. It was neat to see so many people walking for a great cause. So many babies are born premies and many don't survive. A ton of the babies, toddlers and kids were born premature - and are healthy and happy now. Check out their site if you want more info:

Such a hot day - they had yummy snow cones, cotton candy, hot dogs, burgers, etc - the works!


















Love the messy face. :)

....ROBOT....
So - it started with a space helmet Brian and I picked up for the boys when we were in FL and grew from there. My boys now take these soft boxes, put them on their head and walk around with stiff legs and arms (kind of a wabble) and say ROOOO-BOT over and over again.
Here is a photo before they get started -

Flower Fields engagement photography session - Carlsbad, CA

Flower Field Time!

We had a couple want to go to the flower fields for their Engagement Session - which is always fun. (The Flower Fields are only open a couple months out of the year - so not everyone can go - which makes it very different). They were good sports about the whole thing. :) We are REALLY excited for their wedding next month.

I LOVE MY DUCKS!

The Ducks team had a good run this year. I was so sad that they were taken out by Dallas on Sunday - but all in all - it was a fun season. I loved the game we went to last week! We got to bring a small camera in and got a few shots for the warm up. I can't wait until next year!



Doug taking a nice shot


Love this one


How can you not love Jiggy!?!


We met a really nice lady at the game during warm ups - ends up our kids go to the same preschool - she took this shot for us. :)






Hopefully not the last time we will see Teemu


Love Getzy!


Our backup goalie Hiller - he is great!

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!
