crystal + enoch | montage laguna beach [engagement]

Can’t wait to introduce you to Crystal and Enoch! I just recently shot an engagement session for them in Laguna Beach. They really wanted to shoot at one of their favorite resort hotels: Montage Laguna Beach. We walked around the resort and had some great moments on the beach as well…. beautiful rock formations (can’t see it unless you walk down from the cliffs that the hotel/resort rests on).

averi | orange county [birthday party]

Averi celebrated her 1st birthday with the cutest theme – her own candy shop!

I love this custom lollipop cake from Sweet Bea’s. They also did my son’s birthday cake! 
Averi’s mom basically designed and decorated the party – look at the adorable Dum Dum Pops tree!
And the cupcakes and cookies were homemade by Charlotte | Handcrafted Pastries



abbe | san juan capistrano [baby portraits]

I’m so excited to show you this session taken at Mission San Juan Capistrano. Abbe just turned 1 and her mom had the best idea to have her in a tutu and pearls. Doesn’t she look cute with the pearls against her naked baby belly?

Abbe was full of smiles and energy (as long as she had some snacks nearby)…
And her big brother Ryan was the best… he’s adorable, charming, helpful…. he would try to make Abbe smile and laugh for the camera. Otherwise he’d just play with his truck. Seriously the most perfect big brother!
Ryan had no problem posing for my camera…. no cues or pointers. He just said “can I put my legs this way?” and we got this shot!
