Jenette & Nick are evidence that there are simply good people in this world.  Selfless, do-the-right-thing-even-when-its-hard, kind and loving people.  The kind of people I want to emulate in my life.  Honest-to-goodness good people.  And after a super long courtship, these two finally tied the knot on Saturday!  It was a HOT day in Orange [...]

I’m not really afraid of many things.  I tend to jump forward with both feet and figure it out as I go.  I’m especially not afraid of things when I’m pretty sure that I’ll be safe.  I don’t worry about heights when there’s a net and safety lines and professionals.  Typically.  Yesterday was a little [...]

I’m not so much a runner.  I have short stocky little tree trunks for legs.  Exercising outside makes me want to vomit.  All around it’s not my favorite thing in the world.  Occasionally I try it, but then I stop and decide I hate it.
But I’ve hit an exercising wall.  I have no motivation to [...]

It’s rare for me to have as little interaction with a couple before the wedding as I had with Lauren & Brad.  They live in Chicago, so I didn’t have a chance to really get to know them before I arrived on the wedding day.  Typically, this makes me nervous.  I like to know a [...]

I get asked tons of questions about the albums that I offer to my clients.  Which company do I use?  What do they look like? All kinds of things, so I thought I write up a quick blog post.
This album is a 40 page 12 x 12 album from Jennifer & Damons‘ October wedding at [...]

I’m pretty sure these two people are currently changing the world. Not only with their amazing attitudes, sparkling smiles and absolutely genuine personalities.  But with their actions.  Chris met Jillian last year while he was filming a documentary at an elementary school in Watts.  She was one of those teachers that he would come home [...]

One of the hardest things about working for yourself from home is the lack of human interaction.   There’s no one to talk to.  To swap stories with.  To lean on.  I didn’t realize how hard it would be.  Chris would come home from work, after spending two hours in traffic, and I would be bouncing [...]

I love little trips… just enough to get out of the office and stretch and relax.  Just enough to come back revitalized and ready to go.  So, when Amanda setup a girlie photography trip to Palm Springs, I was so in.  I’ve never been and am so incredibly excited to sit by the pool (perhaps [...]

Rebecca was quite possibly the most excited bride I’ve ever met.  She literally grinned from ear to ear all night and the smile never left her face.  Rebecca & Eric were so happy.  They were so happy to be getting married.  So excited to spend their lives together.  So happy to be together.  This is [...]

Cristina & Alec met in high school.  The actual moment they met is a bit fuzzy, as each as a slightly different story, but their first picture together was taken in tenth grade.  Eleven years later they’ve travelled the world together, they’ve lived apart, they’ve moved across the country and they’ve finally made it official!
They [...]
