Petey | Southern California Dog Photographer

What a beautiful guy. He is just about a year old and is so well behaved yet silly and adorable.

Petey’s dad is the owner of TAPS Fish House & Brewery, and my former boss man who was cool enough to put up with me for two years while I finished my degree. The best restaurant ever! Head on down for Sunday Jazz Brunch if you are in the Corona, Brea or Riverside areas. It’s honestly worth the drive. Oh, and call to make a reservation…

I am actually heading there today with a friend for lunch. You should be jealous.

Thanks Michelle for making the drive.

Blueberry Fields Forever | Temecula Maternity & Family Photographer

This session started on the family blueberry farm at 7:30 am and it was already quite bright out. Heaven forbid that the poofy light diffusing clouds that hung around for the several days prior make an appearance.  This mama to be is just gorgeous and I can’t wait to meet the new little guy in December! Officer Mike, thanks for sitting in the dirt and protecting the mean streets of Temecula. I appreciate your service.

More to come…..

Sneak This | Laguna Beach, CA Photographer

Holy fun sauce captain! This gaggle of family was a blast. I really got to put my fisheye to work and I am in love. I wasn’t sure how it would work with portraits but I think it just busts out a whole new level of fun and these guys were the perfect guinea pigs. It will be in my bag from now on.

I can’t even think of anything to say about the one below. It’s just rad. l o v e!




Heather - This session is an all time fave for me. I am so glad we reconnected on Facebook and thanks for coming with an open mind putting up with my camera 6 inches away from your face. I think you guys are going to love your gallery.

….and let’s not forget….

As always gang 25 comments and I will throw a 5×7 in for you

Tres Generations | Murrieta Family Portraits

As soon as I rolled up to this location I was pretty stoked to see a flurry of tattoos and a few piercings. My sessions have been pretty tattoo free so far. When I suggested throwing some gang signs for the holiday card photo I got a bunch of laughs and at that point I knew that I wasn’t going to have to throw down. You guys didn’t fool me for a second. A bunch of softies and from what I gathered, your mother would be proud.

I had to stop myself from posting more. So many goodies to choose from.

I totally caught the tough guy snuzzling up to his new buddy. I loved his reaction when he caught me spying. So cute.

Miss Taylor - You are a natural beauty. So pretty.

I love love love the shot on the left. That look. The love. Sigh. The favoritism card was pulled for the image on the right. I was also the baby of my family until the grand kids came along. Hmmm? Good to know it’s not just my family. :)

the guys.

…and a Marine. Thank you for your service! I cracked him a few moments later. He’s got a great smile too.

Speed Racers | Yorba Linda Family Photographer

When I lived in Orange County [Anaheim Hills] I used to take Shryner to this park to run while I cruised on my Schwinn. It was so nice to shoot someplace I have never taken clients but have a personal attachment to. It is officially on my list.

Well, these two little cuties were all over the place but I think I managed to capture some of their spunk. The first photo was the first snap of the day and the extra cute part is the fact that mom said “I have no idea where the hand on the hip comes from.” I think I found your answer Nicole.

Baby Love | Newport Beach Maternity Photographer

Isn’t she gorgeous!?

Traveling out from Newport Beach to Murrieta this beautiful mama to be was down for anything. The weather was a bit questionable but it didn’t stop us. At one point we were out in the middle of the road for a few shots and 3-4 cars stopped to see if we were ok. I suppose an expecting mother wearing an evening gown in the middle of nowhere turns heads. Who would of thunk?

I really like the feel of the last two individually and to me there something special about lensflare as well as a soft focus. Call me crazy but i think several of my peers would be in agreement with this but what about the general public? If you love I would love to hear what you think. yes, photog pals…you too! I think I feel like giving away a complimentary session for the beginning of the year? Would love to hear from you guys. C’mon chime in. :)

I had a blast Laura stay tuned for your gallery. I can’t wait to meet little Aubrey in December!

Sneak Peek | Anaheim Hills Family Photographer

This super cute family made the trek from my old stomping ground Anaheim Hills to Temecula for their family portrait session. OK…OK… I am breaking my own rule by posting one of their family photos because I just couldn’t help myself. I have several to choose from so I am going out on a limb and posting one that I really like with a more nontraditional crop that won’t really work on a holiday card. I wouldn’t want all of faithful blog stalkers [all 14 of you] to think I can’t get a decent family shot.

Angie - I hope you enjoy your little sneak peek. It was so much fun hanging out with you and your family and thank you for letting me in on that super cool bond that you all share. Stay tuned for your gallery.

7 years old | Sneak Peek • Temecula Child Photographer

In 1998 I was in college and working at a preschool in Anaheim Hills with 2-4 year olds when I was asked to transfer to elementary school to take over a class of 1st graders and run the after school art program for K-6. I soon found out that the previous teacher left because she could not handle the class. She lasted all of two weeks. Nice. I managed to stay the entire school year and it was the most challenging thing that I had ever done up to that point. There is no possible way that I can deny that those kids gave me something special to take with me into the future even if it was unknowing at the time. To think that those kids are now 17 years old just blows my mind. Long gone are the days that I taught them how to read a clock, tie their shoes and count change.

This little guy was so cute and took me right back to that place 10 years ago, but rather than dealing with 22 of them, I just had him. Time moves so quickly. Capture it.

Mr. Man | Orange County Child Photographer • Sneak Peek

This little guy was so mellow in every way. He did not shed one single tear and just observed his mom and I act like dorks trying to get him to smile. He was a tough crowd for smiles but sweet and so cute in every way.

R, I enjoyed my morning with you. Keep an eye on your inbox for your session password.
