Leah | Downtown Santa Ana 30th Birthday Photo Session

 

Leah contacted me because she wanted to do a fun photo session for her upcoming 30th birthday.  She had seen one of my birthday shoots that I had done for my own birthday a while back and really liked one of the alleys that I used. After speaking with her, feeling out her personality and seeing what she looking at as far as wardrobe, we decided to do two outfits: one dressier look and one more fun/casual. We started off with a bit of an editorial, moody vibe. Then we just had fun and were silly while I captured it all. The best of both worlds! We shot these in Downtown Santa Ana at some of my favorite spots.

Karen + Robert | Los Angeles Arboretum Engagement Photography

Just a few days away from Karen & Robert's wedding and I wanted to share a few images from their Los Angeles engagement session a few months ago. We spent a few hours together at the Los Angeles Arboretum in Arcadia. We kept it casual and fun and got to know each other. I loved how much they enjoy the other's company. Robert gets extra points for being a total trooper because he hates taking pics. But then again, don't most men? Actually don't most people? In my experience, it's the people who hate taking pics that do the best. Listen we're just here to have fun and be dorks and I think I can get a good laugh out of most people so that's really all I need. Can't wait to hang out with these two again at their upcoming wedding.

Isabella | Orange County Quinceañera Photography

I don't do very many quinceañeras these days, but once in a while there is a perfect match and all the stars align! Such was the case with Isabella and her family and I was so delighted to be their ideal photographer for such a special occasion. I had the best time documenting this lovely fifteenth birthday celebration. Because even though 2020 ruined the huge and lavish event she had planned, nothing rains on Isabella's parade. A small and intimate backyard gathering took its place with beautiful details, great food, a stunning dress, her closest friends and family and, of course, yours truly to capture it all. Take a looksie!
