Gary & Paula's Family


Gary and I have been friends since I think 1983...{you know when dinosaurs roamed the earth - aka high school days} in fact all those many years ago, Gary and I went to the prom together...my blue dress and blue eye shadow and his blonde, curly mullet...makes me giggle thinking about it.
Fast forward several years...and this weekend, I was so happy to have the opportunity to take pictures of his sweet little family.
We had lots of fun...and the boys being boys...they wiggled, giggled, played and asked a million questions.
So I hope you enjoy just a few of my favorites from our time together.

Austin's Senior Portraits


What a great {busy} day!
Started off with a HUGE downpour! Thought I was going to have to cancel the entire day!
After alot of prayers...
It cleared up and the sun came out!
First was this amazing young man. Austin has a contagious smile and he is just so sweet too {can I say that about a boy??? lol} but he was!
Anyway, here are two of my favorite shots from his shoot.
I followed his session by two family sessions...those will follow shortly! I'm just saying...what an amazing day!
enjoy!

And at the end of the shoot - we got her brother to take some Christmas card pictures {those will follow} which turned out to be hilarious!
So glad I was able to spend a few hours with Alyssa...what a sweet young woman she is!

Sharon & Jordan {Wedding} - Orange County Wedding Photographer




I was so honored when Sharon called and asked me to do the pictures for her wedding.
I met Sharon when she was a teenager and she was always so bubbly and energetic and happy! You couldn't help but smile around her...
Fast forward about {10} years...and here she is on her wedding day...
She and her new husband, Jordan are perfect for each other!
I know I've said this before, but I love weddings because for no other reason, they remind me constantly of how much I love my husband ~ even more than I did when we were married almost {18} years ago!
Congratulations to Mr & Mrs Beal...may they always be as happy as the day that these pictures were taken...
so...for now, just a little sneek peek...so many more to follow very soon!
