Olivia & Juliana... I felt so bad for these two sisters. I was making them walk on the stickers in their bare feet. The things I do to try and get the shot. Sorry girls.. I hope you still had fun. HUGS !

Sweeney Family

2010-07-09T14:03:00.001-07:00

This Family was here visiting from Florida. They found me on Google. I usually check the tide to make sure it is not too high, but since this was the only night they were able to do their shoot, we just had to make do. My favorite beaches the tide was way too high so I went to Aliso Creek Beach. This was the first time shooting there. I avoid this beach because it is very crowded, but It worked out.I say if you cant keep the kids still, just let them run and play and the shots are so cute.. Thanks Dyreese. it was nice working with you and your family..

Vintage Airplane Shoot

2010-05-19T16:55:00.001-07:00

I went to a funeral last week out in Riverside.. when I got there soo early I went driving around and came upon this old Vintage airplane museum. I knew I wanted to come back there to do a fun pin up style photo shoot. So this Sat. I took my son and his girlfriend of 2 years out there. I had so much fun getting all the outfits, clothes and makeup ready for this shoot. Its something so different than I normally do. Unfortunately when we drove 1 1/2 hours in traffic to get there. It was closed to a private Christian Prom. As I was getting screamed at " Mam Mamm you cant take pictures here.. Its $500 to do pictures here".. I continued to just click a few shots. I was determined to at least see what the planes looked like. Then When all the men in their Suits and walkie talkies came over like bouncers seriously annoyed we fled. It was kinda fun. Soo we just had to make do and found a close cool spot w/ a field and like a barn building. They wouldn't sit on the big rocks afraid of snakes.,,My son said "Mom why do you always have to pick such sketchy spots"..
I guess when I get my mind set on something. thats it. My poor family having to put up with my craziness.:)

Jillian

2010-04-13T18:54:00.000-07:00

This is little Miss Jillian. There is a very special place in my heart for her. She was the first little face I did when I switched from film to digital. I am kind of sentimental and get attached. I put that adorable face on my business card and have kept her as my logo girl ever since. I thought it would be fun to do the same photo of her when I shot her the other day . A Before in Dec 2008 to now April 2010. She was just as much fun and soooo silly. I Love her. This is why I absolutely Love my job. To be a part of these little peoples lives and get to share in their growing up. Fills my heart:). One day sooner than you think Jillian I will be doing your High School Senior Portraits. Then your Wedding. Luv U

This family is very special to me. They have so much Love. When I see then around town they always come running to greet me with big hugs. This is why I love my job . This shoot was done down in San Juan Capistrano. 3 kids together is always a bit challenging, but especially when your camera takes a dive on you. But We got it done.
I Hope they remember the rooster visit...
Thanks Guys for such a fun time.. cant wait for you to come pick out your photos tomorrow.

I do my photography because it is my true passion. To be able to do what I absolutely love as my career is so amazing to me. Sometimes it can be crazy and stressful, mostly just because the deadline of getting everything done for Christmas. But when I get Thank you notes such as this, it makes it all worth it. It fills my heart. Thank You so much for all of your appreciation. I cant tell you what it means to me. I have the Best job in the world !! .
