Maternity + Family Portraits {Gonzalez Family}

Already perfect with a sweet girl and a charming boy, the Gonzalez family excitedly awaits the arrival of a third child. Photographing their family was such a fun experience... watching the brother/sister dynamic between the two little ones brought back lots of memories from my own childhood. Clara described the challenges of taking care of the little ones while being in the last stages of pregnancy. Never underestimate the superhuman strength of a pregnant woman! I'm so appreciative to the Gonzalez family for the opportunity to photograph them during such an exciting time. Their newest addition is a lucky one indeed... he'll be coming into a family full of so much warmth and love. Best wishes for happy, happy times ahead!

A Sneak Peek {Calamigos Ranch}

Details, details... 

The sparkle of an earring... a delicate lace veil... lush petals on a perfect pink peony bouquet. While each thoughtful detail is beautiful on its own, something truly magical happens when a bride puts all of these pieces together. Enjoy a sneak peek of a few images from my latest wedding photographed with Sae Lee at Calamigos Ranch...

More to come soon! Happy Friday!

Noah...

Meet Noah. With a face like his and a personality to match, all I can say is, "Remember me when you become famous someday!" =) I know, I know... I'm slightly biased. Noah happens to be my godson! It's amazing how much he's grown. He's always been my little man but Noah's definitely a young man now! It seems like just yesterday he was calling  me "Ya Jame" and learning how to walk. {SIGH} I had such a great time with our photo shoot... my daughter Leyla was with me as was Noah's mom. Next time Mary, I'm forcing you to get in a couple of shots OK? {WINK}


Here are a few of my favorites from our day in Tustin Ranch!

Happy Monday!
