Orange County Newborn Photographer - Newport Beach

Newport Beach Newborn Photography

I love when couples come back after a few years! I did this little guys parents wedding at the Turnip Rose 5 days before I had my second son. They got pregnant pretty quickly and I got to photograph their first son...and now their second son is here! He is a doll! I am really enjoying working with newborns and little ones. Maybe because my third is so good - I have a big love for newborns right now....who knows? :)

Here is the announcement we made from her two favorite shots:

This couple was so sweet and laid back. Brian and I had a great time at their wedding and loved the details! :) Here are some pix from their big day at Tivoli Terrace

Getting Ready






I thought this was cool - very neat looking chest.....


and inside a bottle of wine for them to open at their 25th anniversary or when things start to get a little rocky. They put letters in the box to each other. Instead of doing a unity candle or sand during the ceremony, they nailed the box closed (along with their maid of honor and best man). Very cool and different idea (too bad I don't drink - otherwise I would have loved to do this!)




The groomsman always have something else in mind other than photos. :)


Love the shoes!


During the ceremony at Tivoli Terrace. I love when they do flowers on the walkway.











I have been to A LOT of weddings in the last seven years. I can count on one hand the times I actually had tears. My wedding, my friend Melissa's, and this one. For some reason - during the father daughter dance I got a couple tears in my eyes. It was SO obvious how much love they had for each other. Very touching.

I loved taking photos of these two brothers! We found a barn by our house and loved the look it gave! I think I might have to take my boys there now (if I actually ever took photos of my boys - poor guys).

introducing... The CRAZY BOOTH!

The Crazy Booth is a brand new photo option for your next event. We set up a plain white backdrop and photograph whatever your guests want during the reception. Here are some reasons why EVERY wedding needs our Crazy Booth:

1. It's fun for everyone.
2. It gives the bride and groom tons of hilarious pictures of their friends and family.
3. There is no limit- take as many as you want.
4. All the photos are available for online viewing and purchasing for all of your guests.
5. It's a lot less expensive than a photo booth, with much higher quality photos!
6. You can fit more people into the shot
7. you have Jennifer thinking of "crazy" stuff for your guests to do if they get stumped.

Here are some Crazy Booth photos from the wedding we did in Long Beach last week. (silly props are optional)

Baby Shower

I am so lucky to have such great friends! A few weeks ago they threw my youngest a baby shower and it was awesome. They put so much work into the details. It was based off the book Where the Wild Things Are. I have not been to such a cute shower in awhile. Unfortunately I was enjoying myself too much to take many photos - I only got a few...

On the front door when you entered:


All the balloons in the home were green and blue and instead of having ribbon tied to them, it was twine. So creative


The amazing rockin' friends that threw the shower!


The inspiration


My sister Jules made these awesome sugar cookies. I keep telling her she should sell them on etsy. Maybe one day - they are to die for!


One of my only pics of my sweet angel from the night. He is seriously the best baby I have had so far. I finally understand what parents mean when they say they just want to rock and hold their baby all the time. He is the best baby!


Thank you for throwing such a wonderful and memorable shower. I will remember all the "wild" things you had everyone reveal. And of course - it wouldn't have been a party without all my friends and family that came! It was a great night.
