15 Years

Today we celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary. Has it really been that long?

What a long journey the years have given us filled with many life lessons of humility, forgiveness, and sacrifice. May we have many more years together as we grow old gracefully.

Happy Anniversary to my husband, my hero, my best friend.

Heisler Park Wedding | David and Becky

Doing a little blog catching up...

David and Becky were married this past summer at Heisler Park in Laguna Beach. The best part? Walking barefoot in the sand, feeling the soft breeze of the ocean while witnessing a union of the two coolest people ever.

Becky's spirited laughter and Dave's beaming grin were a sure sign of a love and affection that was long anticipated for this wonderful day and it was my pleasure to document it.

A swanky reception followed Becky and David's wedding ceremony at the Blue Laguna Restaurant and Lounge.

Rainy Days

Oh how I missed the rainy day weather. Today we had our first rain of the season, and what better way to enjoy it than to go outside?

With Savannah feeling under the weather the last two days, we stayed inside and developed a little cabin fever. So, I turned to Bella and announced we were going outside. In the rain. Really Mommy? She stared back at me wide eyed with her big happy missing-tooth-grin. She ran to find her old play clothes and was soon ready for some rain puddle fun...and of course I documented it!

Chella

Her real name is Celia but we like to call her Chella. We were childhood friends, high school pals and now as grown ups, I still affectionately call her CHELLA....kinda makes me wish I had a cool nickname.

When Chella and I caught up this summer for our reunion, I was happy to have the opportunity to photograph her and her family while her son was home visiting from the military. Let us not forget to mention the sweet classic Mustang her hubby brought along for pictures!


Here are a few favorites I'll share...

Swiss Park Wedding | Jose and Samantha

Samantha and Jose were married at Swiss park in Whittier. It was a perfect day complete with the warm sun, cool breeze and one very excited bride and groom.

Jose first noticed Samantha with her beautiful smile at a bike ride event held by their church and by the end of the day he introduced himself...and as they say...the rest is history.

However, for Samantha and Jose this is the beginning of a love for a lifetime.

Congratulations Jose and Samantha, much love!

Bella goes to Kindergarten

Guess who started Kindergarten today? Oh, my sweet Bella is growing so fast.

Recently, while we were out on errands a friendly neighbor asked her what she wanted to be when she grew up...a princess, she said cheerfully without a blink of an eye.

Below are a series of photos I captured of Bella when she lost her very first tooth over the summer.




Happy first day of school, princess!

Scott and Jenny Married!

I had another wonderful opportunity to second shoot with Karen Barnes for Scott and Jenny's wedding in Marina Del Rey. It was a perfect day and Jenny was gorgeous! Here are a few favorites...


After the formal photographs, we had a little fun with the groomsmen and they were all for it.


A vintage Bentley, sweet!
