The Family Visits & A Wedding

My parents & sister recently flew out to attend a family friend's wedding and visit. I was SO excited. I take the bait on any chance to see them, as I only do about 3-4 times a year.

First, though, we took my mom to the Huntington Library as a late birthday surprise since my grandma and I raveeee about the tea room! One of the most "proper" English tea rooms we know. So we took her as a present, and had a great time! I thought it would be a good time to jump back into film, as school is only a month away! (And we are mostly still a film school).











Then, we went to the wedding! This was only my 3rd wedding, and my first one as a now-wedding photographer. It was blast! To sit back and enjoy it fully. Oh, man. My sister was my dance partner the whole night :)









Love my parents. Probably my new favorite picture of them.

Circle Family Session

I have a really sweet family session to share today! I had the chance to photograph the Circle family a few weekends ago who I've known through Jeremy for a couple years now. Alissa, who owns Rags To Stitches Boutique, teamed up with me to do a big giveaway on her blog in honor of my new site launch! (Click here if you haven't seen it yet!) We also decided to do a session of her family to show on the RTSB blog as part of the giveaway. Alissa picked this great location hidden away in some hills near Costa Mesa, and I was pretty entranced by it! Trails, mountains, and thick dead grass...my kind of place! It was one of my first times shooting a whole family together with little ones, and I think I got some really great moments! You really have to be "on the fly" when shooting, and keep your eyes peeled for signs of the dynamic of the family. They were so relaxed, and the kids were really sweet! + How cute are they all together? Thanks Circle family!

And head on over to Alissa's site to enter to win a free session with me! (Going on through July 9th, so hurry!)

Rags to Stitches Boutique

I love it when mom and dad show some love! So important :)

Andrea: Senior Session

This post has been a long time coming! I've been so behind on blogging and really wanted to get this one up before I went mad thinking about it! I am so grateful to share this amazing senior session I had with Andrea. We've been friends since our young teenage years, so it was really great to shoot her college portraits for her. First thing I think anyone can say about Andrea is that she has a heart of gold. So committed to her faith in God, its so unwavering! She is truly inspiring to be around. She just graduated from Biola in accounting, and is taking on the world with her big new grown up job at Deloitte! What an amazing accomplishment. We had fun going around her future work place, snappin' some photos, and taking it all back to biola. We even went out for crepes after.

So, thanks Andrea for a great day! Its a great privilege to photograph a friend! (And so fun!).
