Orange County Muscle competition

Drove up to Anaheim this past weekend to support my brother in law in a muscle contest and to hang out with my sisters. I was blown away...now I really want to start working out. Here's a couple I snapped...

here comes a 3rd one...

Here are some teasers...more to come in a few days.


Can anyone guess the sex of the baby? Look for the little hint...let me know when you find it!

Boudior session

Okay...I've been debating whether or not I should post some and I've finally made the decision to go ahead and post. So here I go...

But before I do, I want to let everyone know that I've gotten FULL permission from my client to post some of these photos. And if anyone should get offended by the content...please please scroll really fast to the next post :-) 

Well, this is Sarah and she is a wife of 10 years and a mother of 3 kids (set of twins and 7 yr old).   She approached me a few weeks ago wanting to do this for herself and husband.  My first thought was  'what a great idea.'  I couldn't pass it up, definitely wanted to add this into my portfolio.   So, I studied different angles and poses, and I wanted to use natural lighting as oppose to using strobe light. They all turned out great.

Sarah looks amazing for having 3 kids and I'm so grateful that she gave me a chance to do this. We had an awesome time, giggled and joked around.  She was such a trooper.  Thanks Sarah!

Well, here they are:

Let me start off with this one...

here's a few teaser...

Here's a few more...

I thought this photo was so cute, loved the way Sienna and her little elephant looked at me.


Big sister and little sister



Here's a little something from Saturday's shoot over at Leo Carillo Ranch Park.
Carol, whose name I can't forget, wanted some family pictures done, and what better timing it is when you have grandma and great grandma that's 96 yrs old visiting from out of town.
Carol and her husband have 2 beautiful kids, a 3 yr old and 21 yr step daughter.
We had a great time during our shoot especially because there were tons of peacocks roaming around the park that kept us entertained.

here's a few from today, Easter Sunday over at the McBrides...

I really like this photo, especially in b/w, but Dave/Mason turned out blurry.




The next Martha...what a nice spread!



Seriously, how cute is this! Skateboarding in her spring dress, and she's pretty darn good on that board, I was quite impressed.

Marisa took this one of Jake and Paige, I just love it.

Paige and Anjali trying to show me their dancing skills.

Husband took this one, not bad.
Cheers! Hope you all had a Happy Easter like we did!

Trying my sun flare skilz, needs a little work but pretty decent overall.

Aunt Emily and Drake, birthday girl's little bro.

Tom and Heather...

Tom and Heather were referred to me by a previous client, Melissa. They were married at Torrey Pines a few years back. So, they wanted photos taken after marriage and 2 kids later at the same spot where they got married. Sweet couple and two beautiful kids, can't get any nicer than that.












whatta a cutie patootie!

This kid is going to be a ladies man, I can tell. Check out his million dollar smile.
