High School Senior Portrait Photographer

Most high school senior guys hate being photographed and Ryan was no exception.  Usually they are only going along with the portrait session for mom or for some sort of bribe, which was both the case here.  But the great thing is that this is a memorable time and we hope someday will be appreciated.  This being said, I love photographing all senior portraits.  I just mess around with the guys letting them know I know that they don't want to be there.  I really just let them warm up and be themselves, I don't over pose them or push them into poses that they don't want to do.  After about 20 minutes or so into the session they start to trust me and really get into the photographs.  And that is when the magic starts happening and we are able to get some amazing images like you see of Ryan here.  So thank you Ryan for letting me capture you at this important time in your life.  I hope you enjoy the rest of your senior year! Congrats!

Family Portraits Huntington Beach | Family Portrait Potographer

We love taking family portraits especially of generations.  I myself have five generations alive in my family, so I know the importance of these photos.  These three strong, beautiful women are celebrating life and some new accomplishments with family photos.  They know how important it is to document their relationships in life.  Studio portraits are a nice way to really focus on the people important to you.  I am so glad that they reached out to me to photograph them and that I could tell their story through my photography.

We loved photographing this sweet family celebrating Wild turning one!!  She was such a doll to photograph.  It is always important for us to capture great photos of mom and baby and dad and baby in addition to the family photos.  And don't forget it is always great to capture a couples portrait of mom and dad too!

Pregnancy Portraits Orange County | Maternity Pictures Huntington Beach

One of the most precious times in life is when a women is pregnant.  Candace definitely had the pregnancy glow, she is just stunning.  Pregnancy portraits are great for the whole family, not just mom and dad.  We love when the children come to the maternity session.  Big sister is an important job, so we like that they are getting prepared for that role :) 

Family Portrait Photographer | Orange County Family Portraits

Jeff is the best son ever!!!  He surprised his parents with a portrait session while he was visiting them in California.  What a great gift.  Photography is a gift that will keep giving, I'm sure his mom is so excited to see them all together everyday that she sees the photos hanging in her home.  Family portraits are always so much fun to photograph especially when the families bring their fur babies.

First communion is such an important time in a young Catholic child's life.  We love taking beautiful portraits to help capture their innocence.  Studio portraits are always a great choice for fist communion portraits so you can really focus on the beauty of the child.

We are ecstatic for the marriage of Elaine and Angelo. Photographing their special day was such a wonderful experience. This couple is a magnificent example of what love is. The bridal portraits before the ceremony were the perfect pictures for a garden wedding.  These two had so much fun dancing the night away!

Cake Smash Portraits | Baby Portraits Long Beach

Little Landon was such so much fun to photograph for his one year old cake smash session.  Cake smash sessions are too cute, I even love the crying ones when we take the cake away :)  Landon was part of our milestone photography package.  It was such an honor to see him grow in his first year of life.  It's always crazy how fast they grow.  We had the pleasure of photographing Landon for his newborn portraits, 3 month pictures, 6 month portraits (his Christmas photos), 9 month photos, and of course his first birthday pictures.

Wedding Photographer California | Socal Wedding Photographers

Michael and Rebecca had the most gorgeous desert wedding.  The portraits of the bride and groom literally look like we did a stylized photo shoot.  The clouds were beautiful, but not as pretty as the couple.  Wedding days are so much fun to photograph. In California we get so lucky with gorgeous days and epic sunsets.  Rebecca was such a gorgeous bride and her bridal portraits turned out amazing!  Congratulations you two on your new marriage!

All the wedding day details that this wedding had were amazing!
