Happy Birthday Annika you are growing into a young beautiful lady......

Hang Ten

I actually walked away from my computer today to hang out at the beach with my kids and good friends. I don't bring my camera out to the beach often enough for personal days, but I thought today was an exception....

Its never to late to say "I DO" | Lifestyle Wedding Photographer

Today I had the honor to photograph Carlos and Aribels Wedding. She is a dear friend of my moms and invited my daughter to be in the wedding. Wedding planning can be so stressful from start to finish but seeing the end result in the photographs is so worth it. Everyone did a beautiful job and the photos really told the story of their special day.

Baby Number 4 | Maternity Session

I am so blessed to work with such great families. Families that I get to see grow and that I get to document for them to share and have forever. Photography is such an Amazing thing and is such a powerful tool. It has really opened my eyes....

I Love working with the Bonafede Family. So many great, yet different personalities going on, that makes such a awesome variety of photos. Seriously... so much fun! I can't wait to watch them all grow up right in front of the camera...

Magnolia Country Store

If you are ever around La Habra, Ca, there is this amazing store filled with all kinds of treasures. I personally love going to this store to find all kinds of vintage collectibles, anything handmade or even shabby chic props. Magnolia Country Store puts a smile on my face every time I walk in there.

Charlie ATOM turns 1 | Science Party

Today was the big day filled with science and cake....My sister went all out on the science theme and what better way to get props then from her chemistry\ science teacher husband. Science experiments going on in the front yard, while beakers filled with dry ice going on in the backyard.

Birthday Parties are such a good excuse to see family and friends. Wish we partied more often....

Sweet 16

Every year, I donate a Session Raffle to a local church. This family was the lucky winner for the Christmas Raffle. It all worked out perfectly, because a few months after was their daughters Sweet 16. Oh to be 16 again... (snap *#* snap*#!) OK... I'm here.... So it was nice to spend the day with the lucky winners and their very sweet 16 year old...
