Happy Mothers Day!

Happy Mothers Day Nadine!

Marcus calls me last minute to ask if there was still time to do a photo shoot

with himself and his girls, as a Mothers day gift for Nadine.

I have been photographing their family since Angelina was born.

Marcus shows up with Angelina - 3 and Alana - 18 months. Both with there hair in pik-tails and in matching jeans. He also brings two brand new matching dresses and a change of clothes for himself. A bag of snacks and drinks for the girls....Wow, he had it all together!

I was so impressed by this dad, taking care of his girls for the day, and managing to surprise his wife with photographs.

Marcus was so excited that he was able to pull this off for his wife.

Wendy & Ruben

Engagement Portraits

I like to spend time getting to know a couple during their engagement shoot.

This familiarity helps alleviate the awkardness and gives me a better

sense of the couple, as well as their interest and personalities so I can capture the essence of them during their engagement shoot, and on their wedding day.

It was my pleasure to photograph Wendy and Ruben...

Their wedding day is 11 weeks away!:)

Congratulations!

Arielle's Senior Portraits

Seniors want an experience that's a lot of fun and feels like a professional, catered model shoot-

it should be an experience they'll always remember. Whether it be on an outdoor location shoot

or indoor studio shoot. Arielle made my job easy for me! Not only is she beautiful, she seemed to have a natural nack of posing like a model.

Maternity Portraits of fellow Photographer

and friend... Loreta

"The Click" got together to photograph Loreta,

who is due in a couple of months.

We headed to the foothills of Claremont.

When all the elements come together,

(Blue sky, sun, trees and all of nature)

we had the opportunity to capture some amazing

moments that Loreta will cherish forever!

Zohar Quadruplets

What an amazing experience I had this past weekend!

My good friend Georgina (aka: Gina, who's like a sister to me) asked me if I would photograph

her good friends Daphna and Eli's babies...well not one or two or three...but FOUR?

You betcha! I don't know when this opportunity would ever come up again.

So, my family and I headed out to VEGAS! (But, no gabln' for us) We were on a mission.

I met this beautiful family in their amazing beautiful home....wow!

I met the babies, lets see... there is Jet, Sky, Aurelia and Max.

What beautiful babies. I was drawn to Jet, I kept picking him up and feeding and burping him, and just holding him. I tell you, I sure did get my baby fix.

The photo shoot went pretty well. I was just feeling bad, because babies ususally do not like to

be naked. But, I had them on a soft blanket and they were content. Overall, I believe it was a success! Here are a few portraits of the babies and parents Daphna and Eli.

Thank you for allowing me to photograph your babies

Maternity

For years pregnant women used to wear the biggest, baggiest clothes they could find. The less seen, the better. But that perception began to change back in 1991, when a very pregnant Demi Moore posed nude on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine. At the time it was shocking for a pregnant woman to appear nude on the cover of a magazine, it really opened the door for today's women, who can now happily celebrate this amazing time in their lives!

I wrap my clients in form fitting material, so I can really show off their bellies. (However, they also have the option of wearing their own clothing or what ever makes them feel comfortable.) I usually request to do a shoot two months prior to the due date. Luckily, I've never had anyone go into labor during a shoot - whew!

I just love shooting maternity portraits, I think everyone should have one, clothed or not, and I think that shines through and makes my clients feel good!

Senior Portraits

We were on location in Laguna Beach to photograph Tiffany.

She will be graduating from DBHS in June 2009.

Tiffany and her family are great friends of ours.

Time flies when you see these kids grow up!

We lucked out with the wheather.

Rain was in the forecast, but we

decided to hit the beach regardless.

What a beautiful day it turned out to be!

We couldn't ask for more.

Congratulations Tiffany 2009!
