Baby Jordan :: 1st Birthday

Our good friends Brian and Jen threw a fun birthday party for their youngest son, Jordan's first birthday! I think Jordan might be the most mellow, chill one-year old I've ever met! He was so good the whole day, and he ate that birthday cake like he was born to do it! Happy Birthday Jordo, thanks for letting us celebrate with you!

Amanda F :: Boudoir

Amanda found me thru her bestie and make up artist Tiffany Georskey of Make Up Your Event. She wanted to do a hot boudoir shoot for her hubby as a birthday present, and I think we accomplished that! She was inspired by the shots Khloe Kardashian created for Lamar, with bathtub full of candy....you'd be surprised how many gumballs it takes to fill a tub....and we didn't even come close!

Baby Dean :: Family Portraits

Remember this adorable shower? Well, Baby Dean has joined the world, and he is too adorable for words!! I was honored when mom Lisa asked me to take some pictures of the new arrival, who wasn't quite so new by the time we were able to get something scheduled. He and big brother Dillon were so well-behaved that day, given that they were pretty pooped from a week-long family wedding! And I love how coordinated the outfits are...Mom had on some amazing Christian Louboutins!

Note: The first 3 images were taken when I went back to visit Dean 2 weeks later....can you believe how much he's grown?!!

Just Sophie :: Personal

Today I found this image of our 2nd dog, Sophie, on my hard drive, in a folder I haven't looked at in months. She is standing on our patio at our Texas house....the weather looks similar here in Orange County today. Sophie is a funny dog....she will always let me take her picture, while Jack, on the other hand, will bury his head or turn away every. single. time. He has some sort of 6th sense about the camera, I swear, even my iPhone camera! We miss that house and our TX friends, but are enjoying life in SOCAL again!

Busy weekend ahead for me....stay tuned!

Ken & Laura :: Anniversary Party

This party was AH-MAZ-ING!! My friend Melissa, her husband, and her siblings helped plan a surprised 30th Anniversary party for Melissa's parents, and it went off without a hitch! No details were left out....there was a vow renewal, bar, cake, food, and even a candy buffet, in coordinating colors, of course!! Ken and Laura had NO idea the party was for them, they thought we were meeting to do some family pictures, and they were shocked to see their closest family and friends waiting for them when they walked through the door! It was truly an honor for me to witness it all! Congrats to Ken and Laura!!!

5 Ladies and a Bun in the Oven :: Boudoir

Sunday I worked with make-artist and hair stylist Tiffany Georskey on a boudoir shoot for 5 hot ladies, one of whom will be a mommy in a mere 4 weeks!! The girls were super excited, and I think they will be excited to see themselves all glammed up!! The hair and make-up was fabulous, great job Tiffany!!

Lisa :: Baby Shower

Recently I was honored to be able to photograph a very special baby shower that my friend Michelle co-hosted for her friend Lisa. They have been fabulous friends since their UCI days, so it was only natural for Michelle and another friend Sammie to go all out for their dear friend. Not a detail was missed, including the awesome donut favors!!

Best wishes to you and your new little one, Lisa!
