{brittany & brendan | e-session}

I am excited to share Brittany & Brendan’s 1940 modern twist themed engagement session. We started out around downtown and then headed to Union Station to wrap up the prefect setting for the 40’s theme.

Brittany & Brendan are a fun loving couple that like to joke around (a lot, lol), as you can see in the images below. We all had a blast playing around, tossing popcorn, dancing in the streets and just goofing off. We gave Brittany and Brendan their first practice at their first dance, which turned out to be a lot of spinning, lol.

As we walked around and goofed off, while capturing some amazing images, I got to know the wonderful Brittany and Brendan. Both are very sweet and make a wonderful couple, and they like to have a good time. I am really looking forward to spending their wedding day with them in July at Spanish Hills. I love Brittany’s attitude about photographs, she can’t get enough, just like me. Hopefully somewhere in the midst of the photos there will be a ceremony for the wedding day, jk, I think. Haha. I am very glad to have gotten to spend some time with you guys and hope you had as much fun as we did.

And our new slideshow feature...

{alivia | portrait}

A couple weeks ago I had the joy of photographing Alivia for her 6 month session. Little Alivia is so adorable with the drool dripping down her chin her big green eyes and the happy pouncing and slapping of the floor. 6 months is one of my favorite stages to photograph. The joy and happiness of a chucky rolly baby just makes me smile and laugh with them. :-) Alivia must be getting used to being photographed with us because we even got a few smiles out of her. YAY! I am looking forward to her next session and a few more smiles. Loving our new backdrop, can't wait to use it again.

{alisha & tyler | slideshow}

In addition to the blog posts, I thought I would spice things up a bit and add a slideshow of some of my favorite images. The first slideshow I am proud to share with you is from Alisha and Tyler's wedding on February 20, 2010. You can also view their blog posts below for more details. Alisha & Tyler's wedding was so much fun and I love Alisha's style and am very excited to share this new feature with them. This is something new I plan on adding to each post, so stay tuned for more. We would love your feedback as well.

{alisha & tyler | wedding}

This past weekend I had the delight of photographing Alisha & Tyler’s wedding at the Hyatt in Valencia followed by their reception at Knights of Columbus. Alisha looked stunning with her birdcage veil, blue shoes, gorgeous dress, make-up and hair. Tyler didn’t look so bad himself, lol. And Alyvia, our mini bride was so cute and helpful. For anyone getting married at the Hyatt in Valencia I highly recommend the McBean Room. It is huge and has so many photography opportunities, I love it! We got some amazing shots in the room as well as on the grounds of the Hyatt. The bridal party was so awesome and fun; we all had a great time! It was a beautiful day, and we did the “no rain dance” to make sure it stayed that way, lol. I had a wonderful time and I hope everyone enjoyed the day and photos as much as I did. Tyler, Alisha, and Alyvia are such wonderful people and are going to make a great family!

{matt | bar mitzvah}

I had the pleasure of photographing my first Bar Mitzvah for the Witkin family, which was held at William S. Hart Park. The Witkin’s are very fun and energetic and I had a blast getting to know the rest of the family. We got some stunning shots of Matt and his family and friends. Although Matt was very nervous prior to the ceremony, he did an awesome job reading. It was so wonderful seeing the ceremony and how proud his parents and family were. During the reception Matt and his friends who are in a band performed and did a great job. I love the street fair theme and all the details, everything looked great. I really enjoyed the day and new experience. Thanks for the awesome opportunity and I hope you enjoy the images!
