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!

Furry Friday?

Cheesy blog title....Guilty!! But how can your resist saying "awwww!" when you feast your ojo's on these little guys! Go on, try....see, resistance is futile! (nerd alert!)

Many of you know Jack and Sophie already. They are rescue dogs that came to us by way of Tassie's Hope and Petfinder.com. Jack was first, then 2 yrs later, we decided, on most days to his chagrin, that he needed a buddy/friend/playmate. So we adopted Sophie. And I may have slightly overlooked the fact that she was only 1.5yrs old at the time, still a puppy pretty much. I was too blinded by her cuteness, can you blame me?

In April, we moved back to Orange County, and our rental condo has a skylight. Every afternoon, these two follow the block of sun that slowly moves across the living room...ah, the life! Andrew and I often say that when we come back in the afterlife, we want to be one of our dogs....

Kendra & Cody :: Destination Wedding, Part II

After the ceremony, we headed to the beach for some not-so-formals, including the infamous bridal party "jumping shot!" Note: it is important to clarify if you want people to jump on 3 or after 3!!

And I think the guys though it was their tryout for "America's Next Top Model," they had their struts down!

Kendra & Cody :: Destination Wedding

They did it! Kendra and Cody tied the knot in a beautiful beach ceremony at the El Dorado Royale Resort in Mexico! Kendra went all out, she planned every last detail, and mom Becky was her florist extraordinaire! The heartfelt ceremony was delivered by a friend of the couple, and there was not a dry eye on the beach, even I had to "blink one back" a few times! We had a fabulous time at this amazing resort, and even got to reunite with a lot of our Dallas friends, and make some new acquaintances from North Carolina! Hope to see you in Ashville soon!

Kendra :: Boudoir

"HAY-SOOOS!!" That's all Kendra's groom, Cody, could say as he flipped through the book of boudoir photos she made for him. Like many brides, Kendra choose to give her groom a very personal gift on their wedding day, and lucky me, I shot her boudoir session and the wedding, so I was able to capture Cody's reaction as he flipped through page after page of gorgeous, sexy images of his bride! We did her shoot back in February (oh my, that seems so long ago!) but I couldn't share until after the wedding...and for anybody who knows me, you know I have zero-zip-zilch patience....so I've been dying to blog these! You might need a towel to wipe the sweat from your brow after looking at these!
