Carolina and Phil

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008

Carolina and Phil’s wedding is fast approaching so we chose the Easter Weekend to do some engagement pictures down at the beach. We were super lucky to get a lovely, clear and rain-free morning. These guys were just awesome to work with and I can’t wait to shoot their wedding in June!

More repeat clients ;-)

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

It’s been fabulous over the last few years to build up a great network of clients…brides, bellies, babies. The best thing is they keep coming back! Tanja came back with her family for their 3rd set of pictures recently. Coen is 11 months now and always has big smiles for the camera.

Welcome back Krumme Family!

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

I just did my 4th photo shoot with Rachel and Ray and their 2 adorable boys, Caleb and Noah. I first photographed Caleb when he was just 10 days old. Rachel and Ray loved the pictures so much they keep coming back…considering they live over 100 miles away that’s one of the best compliments I have ever had.

Check out this picture perfect family

Thanks again Rachel and Ray for letting me create your family memories. Looking forward to seeing you all in September!

Hard Rock Hotel, San Diego

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

What better way to finish my cruise vacation (especially after being quarantined in my cabin with Norwalk Virus for 48 hours…think worst possible food poisoning you can imagine) but to feel like a Rock Star at the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego. Seriously, if you want to pamper yourself, this is THE place to go.

Where do Wedding Photographers go in the slow season?

Mexico! Of course!

Some of you know that I went on a cruise to Mexico back in February for some much needed R and R and sunshine. Imagine my surprise when I turned around on the plane to LA and see non other than Laura Millin from Magnolia Photographic sitting behind me!

And even more surprised to find out we were booked on the same cruise. Here we are on the cruise ship, that’s me on the left with the long black hair.

What can I say…obviously great minds do think alike ;-)

Cyndie’s Belly Pics

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

Cyndie had been emailing me for months to set up a date for belly pictures, thanks to a referral from another client. This was one of the most fun belly shoots I have had. Cyndie and partner Gus were full of laughs and energy…they are going to be amazing parents! Here’s a couple of images from the session.
