The Skinners | OC Couples Photography

Look at this cute couple, so in love! Jim and Jackie came in town from Utah to visit their new granddaughter! Seal Beach is near and dear to their hearts, so we planned to meet there under the pier. Well...unfortunately the beach was closed because they were bulldozing all the sand! We decided to go for it anyway, thinking the worst that could happen would be that they tell us to leave. So we ventured down in the sand, and just as we were about to cross the path of the construction trucks, a life guard truck pulled up and stopped us. Jackie explained that they were visiting from out of town, and that she really, REALLY wanted a few shots under the pier... The life guard (Lori) was so helpful! She called her supervisor and we got permission to grab a few photos and then get outta there! I am so happy it worked out... Jim and Jackie...here's a peek at our session!

little sister | OC Baby Photographer

It's hard to believe that I took this little cutie's newborn pics just a few short months ago!  Look how big she's getting!  And oh, so darling!  Her mama has had a picture like this taken of each of her kiddos, all around the same age...in fact, I took her big brother's pic a few years ago!  We were talking about how sweet it will be to see them all displayed together...the 3 boys, and then the little sister with a cute bow on her head!  I love the sparkle in her eye, and she just has the sweetest smile ever!  Thanks baby Hope!  It's so fun to see you grow!

2011 Holiday Card Preview

I'm happy to share examples of the holiday cards I'm offering this year!  If you take advantage of my Fall Mini-Session, you will receive 25 5x7 cards with envelopes as part of the package!  I still have time slots available on both dates...and remember, if the pre-scheduled dates/times/locations don't work for you, please contact me and we can work something out!  This is the perfect type of session to get an updated family pic to send with your Christmas cards, or even just to get some of that one kiddo who just can't seem to sit still long enough for a full session!  Click HERE for full details about the Fall Mini-Sessions.

Dahl Family | OC Family Photographer

Meet the Dahl family! I photographed their little girl Charlotte when she was a newborn...and boy, how time flies! She's a big 2 year old now, AND a big sister! (Click HERE to see her newborn images) We ended up changing our location at the last minute because of a big music festival going on at Central Park...and so I am thankful they were flexible! I loved the little area we found, and the light was lovely...I hope to go back there again soon! Here's a peek at our session...
