The E-M Family

Designers.  That is what S & L are.  I know how creative they are, and how much work they do for their jobs.  Being a Certified Interior Designer myself, I was a tad nervous to take photos of this adorable family because I knew they had an eye for things.  Shannon designed the dress I wore for our family photos back in August - check out her store, Mixie.  Love, love, love the designs!! 

S & L chose such a great location in Newport Beach.  We started out in the coffee shop because it had been cold and raining.  Mr. Milo is such a character, we had a lot of fun together.  And Miss Penny - the biggest blue eyes I've seen!  Thanks so much for asking me to capture your family, S & L!! xoxo

First, we have Milo enjoying his hot cocoa.

Love this one

We moved outside and Milo wanted to be like Daddy.

Love this spot

Look at Penny laughing with Daddy - so adorable!

The R Family

When I first met B & C, they were frazzled new parents of infant twins.  Oh, how I felt for them because I knew exactly what they were going through!  But, look at them now!  Logan and Ellanie are now 1 and so much fun!  Well, except Ellanie is not a big fan of her brother... but, she was very tolerant of her brother this day and was perfect!  Love this beautiful family and it was so fun collaborating with B because she loves photography as well.  So, let's get to the photos - thanks for a fun time B & C!! xoxo

I think L & E were looking at my boys running around in the background.

Let's end with a few of my favorites.

And this one tops my list as one of my very favorites ever.

My First Wedding - Angie + Freddie

I was so honored when Jennifer, of Jennifer Ho Photography asked me to 2nd shoot for a wedding!!  I couldn't be more excited.  It was my first wedding and I just wanted to see what shooting a wedding was all about.  I was nervous, thrilled, and had no idea what to expect.  It was a day filled with trying to coordinate getting ready, driving to and from OC to LA twice in traffic, and figuring out when I can nurse the baby.  But, it all worked out and I learned so much.  Mostly, how tiring a wedding is!!  Man, I was achy the next day!

Angie and Freddie were such an adorable couple and you could see the love they had for each other.  I loved the ceremony location at Heritage Park in Santa Fe Springs... so beautiful and lush.  And what a fun reception!  I am so happy to have checked off doing my first wedding on my list.  Thanks Jennifer, Angie & Freddie!  xo

A few getting ready shots

Right before walking down the aisle.  Angie was escorted by her son, Patrick.  And check out the awesome car they arrived in.

The Kiss.

I love how happy they are here!

A few formals

Loved this car!
