happy 4th of july! | ladera ranch photographer

Posted in community, events show hide 5 comments

There are so many reasons why I love living in Ladera Ranch and one of them are community events such as these…
our hometown 4th of July parade. Decorated bicycles, children in wagons, happy pets, local community groups, families and neighbors walking the parade route together… it was wonderful. I had the honor of being the photographer for the event this morning and enjoyed taking part in this special day. Here are a few images!

Happy 4th of July!! Have a fun and safe holiday weekend!
I am excited to watch the 4th of July fireworks here in Ladera tonight (we haven’t missed them since we moved here 4 years ago)! It’s going to be the biggest and best show yet… Ladera Ranch’s 10 year anniversary celebration!

be still my heart | ladera ranch newborn photographer

Ah… another sweet newborn babe. Just as all newborns are, he is beautiful and simply looking at this little guy
takes my breath away.

I was waiting for the right time to share this recent session and thought today, June 30th, would be perfect. Why June 30th? Today, Eclipse, the lastest movie in the Twilight Saga opened in theaters and it’s a perfect fit when the newborn being feautured is named Cullen. Yes, he is named after Edward Cullen from Twilight! Look at his beautiful head
of brown hair… he is already showing some resemblance!

Team Edward…. Team Jacob… I think this little guy already has a team of his own, Team Cullen!

Like a true “Twi-hard”, I camped out for four hours last night until midnight to be part of Eclipse’s 30-million-dollar making midnight release. Crazy, but it was fun! If you have an IMAX theater near you, watch it in IMAX… IT WAS AWESOME. Eclipse is definitely the best of the movies in the saga so far and I cannot wait to watch it again. Novmber 18, 2011 is aleady marked on my calendar… the first part of Breaking Dawn’s release date!! Eeeek!

perfect | orange county newborn photographer

Posted in newborn show hide 22 comments

This little babe was five days new when we met for her session this past weekend. Five days old is a wonderful age for a newborn session, especially for those sweet and dreamy newborn shots. She looks so angelic and peaceful… perfect in every way.

I love capturing tiny newborn details. Those gorgeous lashes (a gift from her Daddy) are already being noticed!

It’s no surprise that Baby K is quickly becoming the princess of her mommy and daddy’s hearts and they adore her so.
It’s easy to see why.

K and C, congratulations again on the arrival of your beautiful baby girl. It was an honor to spend the afternoon with you and your daughter. Thank you for the cupcakes too… they were delicious! Can’t wait to show you the rest of your images.
