Southern CA Family Photography: Irvine Regional Park

Finding new places to photograph families is always a fun thing. My dear friends Matt and Laura moved to the OC and we needed a fun place to go. When I lived in Irvine many years ago I loved to go to Irvine Regional Park with my kids, there are so many fun things to do with the kids there and not mention it is a photographers paradise. I swear I saw like 15 different sessions at one time all in the same spot. I do like to find unique locations for most of my sessions, so I steered away from the crowds and found a quite little meadow of trees all to ourselves.

Southern CA Family Photography: Orcutt Ranch

I just love this time of year, and it feels more like Christmas when its nice and cool with some much needed rain. It is sad too because the family portrait sessions are now starting to slow down before christmas.  I really enjoy being able to get to know new families and continue to photograph my current clients and their families and seeing all the little ones grow a little taller.

Salt Lake City, Utah- Now booking Fall Photo Sessions

Ventura County, CA- Newborn Photography: Sweet Little Eddie

Meet Eddie, he is about a week old when we had his photo session at his home. He was such a joy to work with as well as the rest of the family. His older sister loves having a baby brother in the house.
Having a newborn in the house is magical.. they have such a sweet innocence. The whole mood in the home changes when you bring your newest little life home. I feel so blessed to be apart of the first few days of their life that you can never get back. Being able to capture the pureness of each little one. Standing time still for that moment that a father embraces his new son and looks at him adoringly. And the look you get from an older sister as she gets to hold her new brother for her first time. The joy, anticipation and wonder in her eyes is forever real and precious.

Children Photography- Simi Valley, CA.- Ventura County Photography: My Tiny reader

Decided last minute to pack up the little one and the camera, a few old vintage books from my childhood and do a mini session.

In the morning glow of sunshine I stumbled upon this amazing tree stump. Perfect place to perch on top of and read a few stories.

Updates!

A little bit about the biz!

Moving and starting over is never easy. I've been back and forth for years now, and now I'm Back to California....again.

I've been back since May, but Im finally starting to feel settled. I've been way behind in this blog... Over a year over due! Geez... slacker.

Just as business was picking up in Richmond, VA I move... now I am feeling the itch to get back to into it here.

A few weeks I had the chance to go back to photograph all the wonderful friends and families I met. I can't wait to share some of my favorite images. Virginia was beautiful that weekend, I found a few new places to go and it was fun to explore them.

My adorable little sassy pants Lorelei loves to be my model, can't you tell. She is wearing a dress that I wore, it was made by her Great Great Grandmother. A very special dress that she loves to have on whenever she see's it.
