Foley Family | Irvine Regional Park | Irvine, CA

Oops.  I've been MIA on the blog lately because of  all the holiday sessions. It's a busy time of year.  But that means I've got a lot of beauties to post.  These are with the Foley family.  Allison and I went to high school together.  Oh, the benefits of reconnecting on Facebook :)  I got to spend some quality play time with her sweet family.  I love that I get to capture these moments.  Happy Holidays everyone.

Hammond Family | Seal Beach Pier | Seal Beach, California

The last time I photographed the Hammond family was two years ago in a park setting.  The boys were still so little :)  But now, with both of them old enough, we decided the beach would be perfect and I'm so glad we did.  This gorgeous family is so sweet and close and fun.  And the boys are gorgeous!  It was so great to see the four of you again.  Thanks Vicky and Matt.

Halloween 2012 | Montana Avenue, Santa Monica, CA

This is the second year I've photographed a random assortment of kids dressed up for Halloween at the trick-or-treat event on Montana Avenue.  I do this for myself.  It truly is pure joy to see the creativity and festive moods.  And this year I had a friend help me and she was just as into it (Thanks again, Lisa).  

I have to mention that the peacock and pink owl costumes were handmade.  Aren't they amazing?  I hope these little wonders give you inspiring ideas for next year.  Happy official start to the holiday season everyone!

Felicia and Ted's Wedding | | Loews Hotel | Santa Monica Beach

It was a Tuesday afternoon...a small, intimate, sweet ceremony ordained by a dear friend.  I love small weddings and I was so touched that Felicia asked me to capture hers.  It was originally supposed to be on the sand.  But, the weather was being a little wishy washy that day.  So, they switched to a small lounge space in the Loews Hotel.  It was perfect.  I was one of only eight witnesses (including two little ones).  Thank you for letting me capture this day for you Felicia and Ted.  Love and congratulations!  I can't wait for the party :)
