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!

Shoreline Village Long Beach Engagement

Her name is Nesheena.  His is Tim.  What can I say, other than they are one of the most PERFECT couples I have ever known!  Well, besides my husband and I, of course, (*wink*). But seriously.  Their love is completely undeniable, as is their deep admiration, connection, friendship and respect for one another.  It makes my heart happy to see them so in love -- and deserving of each other.  We had an awesome time hanging out with them at Shoreline Village, documenting their cuteness overload.  They loved their session so much, they took us to dinner afterward at the fabulous Alegria Cocina on Pine Ave.  Looking forward to hanging out with them again, soon!  xoxo

Sunset Beach Engagement Session

Jason and Marie decided to take a break because they were too young and realized they needed to pursue their individual goals.  Three years later, out of the blue, Jason contacted Marie. — he missed their friendship and wanted to see how she was doing.  Marie was hesitant at first, but decided to meet up with him at Harbour House Cafe in Sunset Beach to "catch up on old times."  They didn't realize how much they still loved each other after spending the day together. They literally picked up right where they left off.  Their love was undeniable. 

Because the wind was so strong, we ended up doing the first part of the session in the restaurant, and then met up another day in South Orange County, where we hung out in the woods of Trabuco Canyon.  :)

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.
