He normally hates when I take his picture but you can see his expression here like “I see you!” Then “Fine, ok and maybe even a little smile!” Haha! We met up with some friends at Laguna Beach a couple of weeks ago and I forgot to post. I always post random ones of Daphne but here is Jevin! Yesterday was the last day of school for us so now I officially have a 5th grader (and Daphne is going into 1st!) Time flies!

A Wedding | Palm Springs, CA

This past weekend I went and second shot for my awesome friend Kelly Mendoza of True Bliss Photography. (Seriously, if you need a wedding photographer you should definitely hire her. She does beautiful work. I don’t do weddings anymore because I can’t commit to the huge amount of editing and album design time right now but I love to go second shoot with Kelly. She is so awesome and laid back and I still get to do weddings but none of the after work! Ha! So go hire her, and maybe I’ll see you there!) Anyways, here are some shots from me from last weekend’s wedding for an adorable couple who got married at Miramonte in Indian Wells.

Kelly does a lot of “first looks” at her weddings which is awesome because it just seems so special to have the two of them alone together AND then they have time to enjoy their cocktail hour because the images are already done pre-ceremony! Win win!

Congratulations to the happy couple and thanks again, Kelly, for having me!

Long time no see!

Wow, I haven’t posted in forever! I haven’t had any boudoir pics I’ve been allowed to post for awhile but I will come up with something soon. Here are a few from today of Daphne (she’s 6 now, doesn’t time fly?!) It was a windy day here in So Cal. Maybe tomorrow if a miracle happens my son will let me take a few of him. Ha!

Here is what we have been up to the last couple months, just being nerds and chillin, per usual. Daph has lost a few more teeth. Jevin still hates the camera. Yep, Zoe’s toenails are pink (dog) and yep, my husband is trying to get me to pay him $2 to wash my windows at 2 am. Ha! (iPhone camera snaps.) We are looking forward to summer! No waking up at 7 am is the main thing I look forward to! Ha! Anyone have any fun summer plans?

Santa Monica Boudoir | Meet Melissa!

First sneak peek coming up for Melissa! She is a photographer in southern California as well and I always get a a bit nervous when shooting other photogs, especially when they are awesome ones, go check out her work HERE. She did awesome and we had a lot of fun at the Viceroy Hotel in Santa Monica. Can you guess her favorite color?

Thanks for being so patient today, girl! Here is your sneak peek!

Nikon girl!

My big girl!

Ever since Daphne started kindergarten this year, she has been begging to get her ears pierced. I am kind of anti-pierce little kid’s ears, but telling her “They poke a needle through your ear!” wasn’t dissuading her anymore. She kept saying “It only hurts for a second, right?” “Yep, but you have to sit really still.” “Okay, let’s go right now!” “Are you sure?” “YES!” I told her to sleep on it and the next day as soon as school was over she asked “Are we going to get my ears pierced now?!” “Okay, fine.” LOL So we went. She started off super excited then got a little nervous when they put the little things up to her ears. She yelled “Ow!” and jumped a little bit when they clicked and then shot both of the girls and me dirty looks. LOL When we left she said “I HATE earrings!” but as soon as we got a fruit smoothie and back to the car, she was excited. The back of one earring fell off in her sleep so that was big drama the next morning but I found it in her bed and put it back on (she thought it was going to hurt like piercing again) and then she was excited to go to school and show her friends. The light in there wasn’t great but here are a few pics I took of the occasion.
