Dominic’s Monkey Business

admin — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 00:36:10 +0000

Meet little Dominic… he’s 6 months ‘old’ enjoying the simple life in Huntington Beach. Of course being 6 months is not any easy job. You’re constantly eating, sleeping, and well… going thru a lot of diapers. Though young he’s gaining traction and has recently graduated from lying on his belly to sitting up straight. A lot of work when your arms & legs are trying to catch up to your head! At any rate we had a great time doing a mini-shoot and with Halloween upon us he decided to unveil his festive costume this year. Enjoy.

Dominic insisted that his friend Clifford the Big Red dog make a cameo

Alyssa & Todd at St Regis Monarch Beach Resort & Spa

Alyssa and Todd decided to have their memorable wedding day at the St Regis Monarch Beach Resort & Spa in Dana Point. The day was a bit unique as TLC was on-site with cameramen, boom mics, studio lighting, and producers running every which way recording their day. The grounds of the St Regis is immaculate with several venues to accommodate a bride’s liking. Alyssa chose the lush & private Botanical Garden with panoramic views.

Hello TLC crew!!!

Precious Lamb at the Red Horse Barn

A good friend of mine, Lailanie Cruz, is the Director of Precious Lamb a non-profit that provides education and developmental services for children who’s parents are homeless in the city of Long Beach. On occasion the school takes the kids on field trips through out Orange County. Well this time around the little yellow school bus landed them in Huntington Beach (my backyard!) at the Huntington Central Park Equestrian Center, just next door to the Red Horse Barn. The kids had a blast as they strolled through the stables learning all about horses as they fed them carrots, petted their wet noses, watched a jumping exhibit, and even had the chance to dress up like princesses and gladiators as they trotted around on their majestic stallion! This day was all about the kids and loving on them but I think the rest of us had as much fun as they did.

Love this shot with the Shetland’s smile haha

Cowboy hats were handed out to help the kids get more into the spirit. I think they were ‘em well.

Miss Lailanie rules with a big heart as represented with the tiara and pink scepter!

Central Park Family session

I had the pleasure to do a family session for some great friends of mine. The Rottschafers are the classic American family: He’s a pastor, she’s a nurse, and their kids, Wylan and Brenton, are adorable with large personalities! We headed down to Central Park which was perfect for the boys to run wild and to capture some fun candid shots.

The many faces of Wylan: Funny, Sad, Crying, Surprised

Country Style Wedding

Chris and Lizzi shared their beautiful wedding day with friends and family on this modern country-style ranch in Murrietta. The aging oaks stretching their canopy of leaves and fields of wild grass made for a perfect backdrop as they gave their vows to one another. The long summer day provided great lighting especially toward dusk as the newly wedded couple took to the dance floor for their “First” dance as Mr. & Mrs. McCall.

Country E-sess

admin — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 02:31:14 +0000

Had a fun E-session with Nate & Katelyn. Being that she’s from Grassvalley Katelyn was hoping more for rolling hills and big red barns. Easy if you’re in Grassvalley. Not so easy living in Orange County. I found this old ranch that used to be a former spaghetti western movie-set back in the day complete with Sheriff’s quarters, barber shop, bank, hotel, and… a barn. It was a perfect day for shooting and Nate & Katelyn did a great job being playful and bringing out some great candid shots. Can’t wait for your wedding day!!!

Los Verdes Golf Course, Palos Verdes Wedding

admin — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 22:29:48 +0000

Who says online dating doesn’t work??? Suzie and Juan might have something to say about that considering they met while living several thousand miles away in two different countries! While Suzie was living in Costa Rica and working for a christian ministry she met Juan who was living in the suburbs of Chicago. Well after that first ‘flirt’, a few emails, and many phone conversations later John decided to take a flight south bound to see if the chemistry was true in person as it was in their correspondences. After giving their vows and sealing it with a kiss, I think it was confirmed ; ) The day couldn’t have been more beautiful for them at the Los Verdes Golf Course and Suzie even got her much anticipated shot on the 15th hole, blue pacific ocean and all! Congrats and God’s blessing to you both!

I love the overwhelming emotion seen in the eyes of Suzie and her mom

Try finding the flower girls mom & dad… hahaha

Hoffmann family session

Spring with its vibrant colors from the changing season is always a great time to update those family pics. Steve and Chin decided to do just that with their 4 month old (young?) son, Christian. We took advantage of the beautiful Saturday in Huntington with clear skies and blooming wild flowers.

I turned a handful of the images to black ‘n white as it draws more emotion from the moment

Steve has a silly & playful side so I asked him to dance for Christian to get him to laugh. Don’t know about Christian but I was laughing haha.

Northwood High School Prom

admin — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 18:56:15 +0000

Last weekend I shot a group of soon-to-be high school grads from Northwood Irvine for their prom pics. It reminded me of my proms and our swanky attire with cummerbund and bow tie hahaha! This young group was definitely styling with class as everyone was dressed to the nine’s (a few guys even had 3 piece suits)! Being seniors it’s all about leaving a lasting impression right? Best of luck to you all as you head off to USC and UCLA!
