I’ve photographed several milestones in the life of this wonderful family. Baby D first visited my studio a mere 3 weeks after her birth, and I was also there with camera in hand when she donned a frosting-covered face on her 1st birthday. I was thrilled when Baby D’s dad gave me the great news that a baby boy would soon be added to the family! I love the journeys my job takes me on- I’m immersed in the emotions of a couple’s wedding day, then I get to watch them build a life together, and eventually a family. It’s so cool…

I met Doreen about a year ago when I took her corporate headshot. At the time, her daughter, Crystal, was pregnant with her first child so we got on the subject of maternity portraits and family portraits. Doreen was sure excited at her soon-to-be grandma status! While the family was together for Thanksgiving, we planned a photo session at the Fun Zone on the Balboa Peninsula. This spot is great for childrens’ portraits and family portraits because of the vibrant, fun backgrounds. The beach and Balboa Pier are right across the street from the Fun Zone, so there’s the opportunity for beach portraits as well. If you’re looking for a unique location to have your family or child photographed, call me up and we’ll meet at the Fun Zone!

Mandee and Tom are past wedding clients of mine, so I was thrilled when they returned for family portraits. Their son is such a ham in front of the camera; I had a great time joking around with him while simultaneously snapping away on my camera. I’ve learned that method works a lot better than telling a child “Smile for the camera Johnny!” Once they’re told to do something, they think “What’s in it for me?” and they end up on a sugar high from all the candy their parents bribe them with. Luckily, our session was quite successful and there was no candy bribing going on. We started at my favorite little quaint location: Peppertree Lane in Laguna Beach, then stopped at a few spots around downtown Laguna. Our session ended across the street at the beach. Thank you Mandee, Tom, and little Z for being part of the reason I love what I do!
