Sister Portraits

This pretty face just keeps popping up on my blog! She is one of my two amazing sisters who are always willing to let me snap pictures of them. This was the first time getting my hands on a tilt shift and ooooo was it fun!!

Lisa + Jim: Newport Beach LDS Temple Wedding

This summer I have had the pleasure of working with Tegyn Friedman quite a few times! We always have tons of fun when we shoot together. I was her second shooter for Lisa and Jim's wedding day...and what a sweet day it was! Here are some of my favorite pictures.

Benson Family: Candid Beach Portraits

There is something so lively and captivating about candid photos and the stories they tell. We did a large family portrait session at Shaw's Cove in Laguna Beach. If you've never been there I highly recommend it. Here are my favorite pictures of the kids being kids.

This little lady got knocked down in the water after about 15 minutes of picture taking. She was surprisingly good for being soaked!

Doesn't this sweet face melt your heart?




If you missed the animation I made from this last picture, you can see it here.

Wedding Invitation Design

Did you know that I am also a designer?? Yep, it's true! I am currently finishing up my bachelor's degree in Industrial Design (aka product design). So in the middle of all the picture taking good times, I like to mix it up with a little design project. Lately, that design has revolved more around the computer screen than anything else. I designed a friend's blog a while back, and more recently a wedding invitation. I had so much fun with both of these! Here is the invite for you to check out.

Have a LOVELY Thursday!

Nancy + Jeff: Longshadow Ranch Wedding

Ok people...this wedding is the definition of FAIRY TALE! But before I get into that, let me give a huge thank you to Jenn of Jenn King Photography for allowing me to join her and Will for this perfect day. And really it was pretty perfect, with such a gorgeous location, beautiful bride and groom and amazing details. I'll let the pictures do most of the talking from here :)







This next one takes my breath...I love it!

Headed over to the bridge for the "first look".

Benson Boys (A Family Portrait Preview)

I have a lot of great stuff that I'm working on right now, and I can't wait to get it blogged! In the meantime, here is a cute clip from a recent family session. These kids are just 2 of the 18 people I photographed in Laguna Beach. Aren't they the cutest?!

Sunny Sisters

The wind was blowing, the sun was shining, and I had a sister by my side! So we decided to snap a few shots of each other. I love the sunny backlit kind of pictures.
