I recently posted a sneak peek for this gorgeous expectant couple. When mom and dad arrived at the beach for their session I was so excited to shoot them. I loved the colors that they chose for their session and they were very relaxed and at ease infront of the camera. Made my job much easier. They are expecting their first child and it’s a girl!!! YEAH for the girls! I can’t wait to photography Baby “S” when she arrives. Mom brought some baby shoes to the session and told me that her mother actually made these shoes for her when she was a baby. I could not believe her mom made these little shoes…they are amazing as you’ll see below. I love stories like that and love when parents pass meaningful items along to their children. It just warms my heart! Here are a few shots from their beach maternity session with me!
Isn’t mom’s eyes stunning?

Down by the sea….. | Orange County Photographer
March 12, 2012
My sister is a big enthusiast for landscape photography and every now and then we get together to shoot. I love spending time with my twin sister. I don’t see her enough. She’s so good at long exposure and I learn so much from her when we get together for these types of shoots. I also enjoy the ocean so much…you might already know that if you’ve read my blog before. Check these beautiful sea creatures that I found….
Do you see my reflection?

Gorgeous Mom to Be (Again) | Maternity Photography in Orange County
December 14, 2011
Isn’t this mom so beautiful? I loved hearing her and her husband talk about how they are still married after all these years. Yes, she is young and this is their second child. Their first child is already 12 years old. Isn’t that awesome? They were both so kind and so excited about their arrival. I can’t wait to meet their little girl! Just a little sneak peak for the “B” Family…

Luckily there was a spot for this mama to be to climb safely. I’m so glad there was cuz I just love this shot…she looks like she belongs here. Gorgeous spot for a gorgeous mom to be. I can’t wait to meet their beautiful baby girl! Thank you for letting me document this special moment!

We recently returned from a wonderful vacation on the island of Kauai. One of my favorite places in the entire world. I spent most of my summers there while growing up and both my parents were born and raised on the island of Kauai. When my mom passed away several years ago we sprinkled her ashes there as this was her wish. The island is such a spiritual place for me. One early morning I took my kids to one of the beautiful beaches there and my daughter was just playing and walking on the beach. I took this capture and it has such an ethereal feel to it. I felt my sweet mom was watching over my darling daughter. They never had the chance to meet each other but I know my children would have adored her as much I did. My mom always wanted grandchildren and she pretty much gave up the idea as none of my sisters or I had children before she passed. I know she sees them everyday and is always with us in a higher sense. This image is a reminder to me of that. Thank you mom for being who you are….

What To Wear Guides | Orange County Photographer
September 17, 2011
With the holidays coming and holiday photoshoots coming up I thought I’d get some What to Wear Guides for you all! One thing I tell my clients is to stay away from the white shirts and jeans look. It’s been done too often and no one wants to look like everyone else do they? Other things that I suggest:
1) Stay away from loud, busy prints.
2) Stay away from graphic tees and athletic shoes.
3) Make sure the colors of your clothing work in harmony. A good way to tell is to lay all of your outfits out and see if anyone outfit looks out of place.
4) Outfits do not need to match exactly however, they should coordinate.
5) Outfits should not overshadow the subjects which is YOU.
Here are some outfits that I put together for you all. Outfits were taken from Gap, Banana Republic, and Piperline.
