merry christmas

From my heart, my best wishes to you and your family

Remember Evan? He is turning one year old in two weeks. I can't wait to see him at his birthday party.

lauren | senior portrait session

It was an inspirational session with Lauren. She is a high school senior at OCHSA. Lauren is a beautiful and kind person with a creative mind. She is very quiet but once she started talking about mythology, her eyes sparkled.

Congratulations on your high school graduation. The best part of life is just beginning.

Note: Yes,... I admitted my love of Richard Serra's sculpture. Here's the "Connector" by Richard Serra.

holiday family sessions

I really enjoyed this holiday season. I'm fortunate to work with the most adorable kids and families in the Los Angeles and Orange County area. Thank you for sharing the joy, love and holiday spirit with me. Looking forward to seeing you all soon.

~ Emilia & Lily ~

Sometimes, I love the outtakes as much as the formal portraits. Emilia and Lily always crack me up. They were really having fun.

~ Isaac ~
Remember this strong little man? It just amazed me how fast kids grow.

~ David & Elsa ~

We reserved some time for a session within a session for little Elsa. She is one adorable 8 months old. Love her little swirl on her forehead. I heard that her older brother, David got that "superman" swirl too when he was a baby.

The Lo Family

I was back to OC again for the holiday family portrait sessions. This family was super cute. The little 4-year old was so energetic. He disappeared from the frame before I counted to 2. He was such a funny little guy to work with. Here are some of my favorites.

stella | 5-week old

I spent a wonderful Saturday morning with this sweet little 5-week old, Stella and her family. It's such an adorable family. I love Stella's room. It's so cute with a cherry blossom tree right by her bed. We got so many options for the holiday card design. Can't wait to see how the holiday cards will come out.

stella totally looks like a monkey on daddy's shoulder.

My family portrait season is in full swing so I am *very* behind on blogging my wedding assignments. Hopefully, I will have more time to organize everything before the holiday and post them on my blog.

happy halloween!

Met with Erica Tucker at Sweet E's again last week. She whipped out more whimsical cupcakes and got some new ones just in time for Halloween. They are so cute.

halloween 2009

We had such a great time having Chloe and Noelle to join us for an early Halloween Party. Evan was so adorable in his costume with a huge belly, wobbling like a drunken dinosaur.

Noelle's grandma tailored made an "Alice" costume for Noelle. She looked so cute with a little black bow on her curly blonde hair. Chloe totally got into her character of Snow White, reaching out for apples whenever she saw one.

We have enough apples to share but apples in other's hands are always sweeter and crispier. =)
