I have a NEW Blog!

While I am so sad to be ditching this blog, I am excited for my new one!

All future postings will go on the new blog. I will of course keep this blog active as I do not want to erase everything that has been posted on this blog!

My New Blog

2011 is almost here?!? {Southern California Family Photographer}

2011 will kick off in just a matter of days as well as my new 2011 pricing structure!

Firstly, I want to thank all of you for your support and business in this first year!  It has been a really fun ride- starting out, portfolio building, continuous skill building, and learning all about maintaining my own business.  I couldn't have done it without all of you.

I now realize that in order to maintain my business, grow creatively and technically, I need to make some adjustments to my business model and plan.  These changes will help to compensate for upgraded equipment, editing time, and costs of rental equipment depending on your session or event... just to name a few things.  All of these upgrades will translate to better quality images for your benefit!

As of January 1st, I will be changing my session packages and pricing. You can find these prices HERE

Now because I LOVE throwing out new promotions and offering all of you what I think will fit your photography needs, here is my latest (and possibly last) promo in order to "soften" the blow of my new pricing structure!

And in order to help with understanding custom photography and what separates it from the department store or "chain" studios, here is a  fantastic article on the subject:


Why Custom Photography Costs More?


My goal is to deliver an amazing, quality product without breaking the bank. This is my passion and something I want to bring to the next level in the next year. I hoping to quit the day job and focus primarily on my photography. Thanks again for all of your continued support as my pursue this. It means everything to me!

Robert & Kelly are Engaged!! {Southern California Engagement Photographer}

These two are one of my favorite couples! And I am so elated that they are getting married! So you could imagine how excited I was when they asked me to shoot their engagement photos. I could have photographed these two for hours. They were naturals in front of the camera.

We headed off to one of my favorite locations for a great evening! The sunset was crazy this day! The oranges that spread across the mountains made them look like they were on fire. It was amazing!

Ok, prepare yourself for a very picture heavy post!

Notre Dame Fans!

BTW, Kelly's new last name will start with a Z. It just so happened that the barns at this location had Z's all over them!

LOVE this red!!!

They are going to have some gorgeous babies!!

LOVE this image! Not only because its hilarious! BUT this is the orange fire mountains I told you about in the beginning! Awesome!

The R Family {Claremont, CA Family Photographer}

I know I have said time and time again that I have photogenic clients. This family is up there with the top! I went to High School with Brianne. Let me tell you she was gorgeous back then and it still stunning now! (Hello! Jealous!!). Her little girl has amazing eyes! The catch-lights in each image were awesome! I can't wait to photograph this family again!! :)

5 Little Monkeys {Inland Empire Family & Children Photography}

 My good friend Mandy contacted me about photographing the grandchildren for her parents. I was definitely up for the challenge. These kids kept me on my toes! In fact, they made all of us work. BUT in the end we still got some great images!

At the end, I did a little mini-session with this little guy and his parents. LOVE his curly blonde hair!

The F Family {Long Beach, CA Family Photography}

I just adore this family and every time I photograph them I have fun. The boys are so so cute and the older (Little P) is such a character! We had some great convos about turtles!

We headed out to El Dorado Park in Long Beach for their Holiday session. I was supposed to rain but it ended up being quite sunny (though the rain did  come later the night!) so it was a perfect morning. There were a lot of ducks and geese there but we managed to steer clear!

They brought along their nieces to get in some grandkid pics for the family! Such beautiful girls!
