A couple of weeks ago, my friend Kary and I took our kids out to a great location to shoot some fun, colorful images of our children.
Kary wanted to get some really bright and relaxed images of her girls…
Grace, Brooke, and Hannah
my daughter, Katie
Be careful while in these fields…we found a baby rattlesnake!
It’s that time again to announce baby ME’s customer of the month, Nicholas! It was a lot of fun working with Nicholas and his mom, Leisl.
He was a little unsure of me at the beginning, but as soon as I showed him my little vintage car, he was super stoked on it! We had a blast and I really enjoyed playing with him!
Congrats to our customers!
Since Andrew and Gila live in the heart of Corona Del Mar, they thought it would be fun to have their engagement session right in their own backyard! We started out at a little winery in Laguna, then made our way to the beach!
We had a lot of fun:
This one just makes me laugh!!!
Can’t wait until your wedding in August! Thanks for the great time!

Chris and Kelli live in the bay area, and it was really important to them to capture their engagement pictures in an area where it is very special to them…San Fransisco!
I flew up there for the day and had a lot of fun getting to them more as we drove to several locations that they loved.
We started at the Golden Gate Bridge but the wind and fog were so bad that day, it really didn’t work out. BUT….there were these really cool abandoned bunkers that were there and i absolutely LOVED the feel and texture of them:
This is their baby, Otis. He loved making his appearance!
On to some cool architecture…
Then to downtown & the wharf!
This is “The Bush Man”!!!
He hides behind these branches and scares people as they walk by!!!
It was hilarious!
The Bush Man has been around for 28 years…
Kelli & Chris: Looking forward to your wedding in October!
Aaron and Leslee were so much fun to hang out with and get to know! We had few different locations and started super early, so we made the best of it and even took a couple of breaks to enjoy a cold drink in between as we were waiting for the sun to come down!
We stared out in downtown La Verne by the University of La Verne, because that is where their relationship evolved from friendship into a very special relationship between the two of them!
Some fun and colorful pictures!
the best light of the day…..
Can’t wait until your wedding next month!
Many more laughs to come!!!!
I know I always say this, but I just love my clients! With each engagement session i do, I enjoy getting to know my clients better and have so much fun laughing with them throughout our shoot.
It is so important to click (no pun intended!) with your clients because you are documenting something very special to them, and it always puts them at ease when they can let their guard down and just be themselves.
I have been very lucky with getting clients that i REALLY enjoy!
Chris and Clarissa are no exception! As childhood family friends, they have had the advantage of knowing each other and their families for a very long time. Clarissa’s brother and Chris were great friends, and I can picture Clarissa as the little sister who always wanted to be a part of their fun….well, as the years went on and their interests changed, guess what happened???!!!
They fell in love!!! We had a blast in Pasadena at City Hall and the surrounding area shooting their engagement session!
Thanks for the great time, and I can’t wait until your wedding in August!
May’s customer of the month for is baby K….so adorable, and we had such a blast at our session!
Be sure to visit baby ME in Glendora to qualify for the next customer of the month!
How am I going to choose???
That is the common question I have been getting at my order sessions with my portrait clients….What should I order? Where am I going to hang these? I need help!!!!
I absolutely love meeting with my clients for their order session. We sit down, watch their children’s amazing slideshow and relive the fun from our photo session! Then we talk about their needs for reprints and how they are going to display their images.
Here are some display options that I design for my clients before I meet with them to give them ideas of how to display their images, whether they are canvas prints or framed collages….
The Simple Style Canvas Gallery:
The Clean & Classic Framed Gallery:
The Mix & Match Framed Gallery:
OR….many of my clients are just LOVING this storyboard canvas. If they are having a hard time deciding on the images because they love so many of them, I suggest this:
Happy Thursday!
One of the highest compliments for me is when a past wedding client comes back to me to document their next journey in life…starting a family.
Katie and Chris got married 5 years ago. I just loved their wedding day, and their family and friends were so sweet and welcoming to me. I am honored to begin the documentation of this journey.
Katie and Chris will be welcoming baby molly in the next couple of months, so stay tuned for some really beautiful newborn portraits with mommy and daddy!
what can i say….look at these beautiful images captured for the Giuliano family….kik, vince, christopher, joey, and graciella. Love their ability to just be themselves and have fun in front of the camera. I hope you enjoy these images as much as I have!
this is one of those blessed mistakes when you are testing out your settings…honestly, this image happened purely by mistake and I absolutely LOVE it…might be one of my fav’s:
