Tiffany + Cristian - San Juan Capistrano Engagement

Such a fun engagement session!! You can’t help but fall in love with Cristian and Tiffany! They are so stinking adorable! We spent our time in San Juan Capistrano at the Historic Los Rios District. Super cute and quaint street with little old cottages! If you haven’t seen this part of San Juan Capistrano, you should definitely visit, and start your day off with Hidden House Coffee! I’ve had so many photo sessions here, yet there are so many angles and photo ops, I love coming back here over and over again! Hope you enjoy the photos and “feel” love between these two kids!

San Diego Proposal ~ BriAnne & Jeremy

My daughter is E N G A G E D!!  What a beautiful and exciting moment it was -- and I was so happy to capture it all as it happened.

Back in 2004, I married an incredible, loving and amazing man who had been raising his 3 beautiful children on his own for 6 years.  It was one of the best decisions of my life to be a part of something so precious.   BriAnne was only 9 at the time. 

Fast forward 11-1/2 years.  I'm blown away with how far we've come and how fast time has gone by.  I couldn't be more proud of my beautiful BriAnne.  She's grown to be an amazing young woman and I am beyond privileged to have a piece of her heart, and to have been a part of something so very special.  We are beyond excited for her and Jeremy and look forward to having him be a part of our family! Love them both so much.

Downtown Los Angeles Senior Session ~ Makenzie

Makenzie was only 7 years old when she met my daughter, Lindsey.  They became inseparable and would spend every waking moment with each other.  Fast forward 11 years.  Makenzie has grown into a very loving, amazing individual.  Though she possess a very shy and timid demeanor, you can't help but be intrigued by her beauty, grace, elegance and unparalleled artistic style.  When she requested Downtown Los Angeles for her Senior Pictures, it was a no brainer!  

We started our trip at the Bradbury Building, which opened its doors in 1893.  Gorgeous!  We then we made our way over to Grand Central Market for some delicious breakfast at EggSlut. OMG!  Delicious!

Next, we headed over to Ace Hotel for some pics in the lobby and on the roof.  Great hotel! After that, we headed towards Melrose and stopped at PaliHotel.  Loved that place!  Great colors, walls and decor!  

Last stop was the Arts District where we were able to get some great shots with an industrial background.  It was quite a busy day, but we had a great time---one I won't soon forget!  XOXO

Ariyana & Stephan ~ Engaged

When Ariyana asked if we could shoot her engagement session in old Pasadena, I was more than thrilled.  The architecture, buildings, restaurants, pubs ...  all of it --- I knew it would make a wonderful backdrop!  Here are a few of my favorites from that very fun day!
