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.

lauren | 3 months old - part 2

I love these pictures from the black background series for Lauren's 3 months old session. It has a totally different feel. I am working with Lauren's mom to pick out 9 favorite pics for the framed art. We are having such a hard time because we love them all. I love Lauren's skin tone too but we need to convert the pictures into B&W so the framed art will match her sisters' pictures.

I am looking forward to photographying little Lauren again. See you all in December.

connie + rob | engagement

Stories about how couple met and fell in love always fascinate me. This is a story about two passers-by fell in love. Rob met Connie on the street when he was looking for directions to some places. Was it love at first sight? I didn't ask but I felt a strong connection between the couple. They are so happy together.

isaac | strong little man

We almost gave up on this because we arrived after the park closed. Isaac's dad, Peter dropped us off at the Abalone Cove Shoreline Park and found street parking a mile away. Peter is one super daddy!

Isaac was able to play at the beach for a while before the sunset. We had a great time. Isaac was one cheerful strong little man, moving heavy rocks around. He even ran up to the life guard tower visiting the life guard on duty.

second before Isaac dropped the stone on my feet. He almost got me =)

Thanks for hanging out with me. Mommy Beverly, I'll see you in a couple months for your *special* session. I'm excited as you are.
