Southern California Family Photographer ~ Schauers Family {Beach Session}

I loved everything about this session with my friend Donna and her family down at the beach near Oceanside. The colors she chose were fabulous! The different shades of Teal/Green/Blue really popped against the white and sand.

Newport LDS Temple {Orange County Photographer} ~ gorgeous sunset

I had to share this image I captured the other night after shooting a wedding at the Newport Beach LDS Temple. It was an absolutely gorgeous day...just a little cloud cover as to not be too bright...as the sun was setting...the sky turned the most amazing pinkish purple...and made for an amazing back light to the temple. I hope you enjoy this beautiful image that could have only come from Heavenly Father's own canvas! I can't wait to have this in print on my wall!

Southern California Family Photographer ~ Published School Session {Kira}

It was so nice to wake up this morning to find that my session with our sweet Kira had been featured on Modern Teen Style It was such a wonderful school session and the lighting was just amazing that I'm glad they saw that too! I know she will be super excited to see her pictures on their website! We are all living in her dream of her year abroad!

Murrieta / Temecula Family Photographer ~ Wilson {Family}

I just love the Wilson's! One of my favorite families! I met Laura when we moved to Murrieta a few years back. We worked together with the Young Women at church. Moving for me always meant reinventing your business (before Facebook and Social Media helped with marketing!)...building a clientele and it was getting to be that time of year when everyone wanted family pictures. Laura asked if I would do their family and if I minded doing a beach session. Well I had just moved from Orange County so that was what I was used to!!! Every year since that time...I have done family pictures for them and I'm so glad that I have these wonderful friends in my life! I was sad when at the beginning of the year they had to move out of state to Utah. I thought I wouldn't see them for some time...but I am so glad that twice in the past couple months I have been able to meet up with them. They were so awesome to come down to see Korey off right before his mission and then again to do pictures while they were visiting Murrieta...I can't believe how quickly time passes and the kids are growing up! It was bitter sweet with Alex gone on his mission...but I popped a picture in the collage of him from the mission field! Enjoy just a few of my favorites for now...

Southern California Wedding Photographer ~ Published Wedding

You know when you see something and it right away just takes your breath away...you just know that it is something really special! That is how I felt about Ronnie and Chelsey's wedding... Every little detail of the day was perfect. Chelsey's dress is simply amazing! One of the most unique, gorgeous dresses I've ever seen! The color was fantastic! The San Diego weather was perfect! Not too hot...or too windy...beautiful blue skies! Spent some time doing pictures first at the LDS Temple in San Diego then off to LaJolla Cliffs...and then finally to the cutest backyard vintage reception at a friend's home in Murrieta. Every last detail was PERFECT! I'm so excited that other's have discovered how awesome their special day was as well! Mrs2be a website that is from the UK is the first to publish pictures from this beautiful wedding. You can check out the link to see the full post...they also tweeted it! So cool to be published on the other side of the world!
