Danielle + Trent Engagement shoot

Danielle and Trent suggested us shoot around their neighborhood in Seal Beach. I have never been there and I am always excited about shooting in a new place! We found this cute train that was a museum and we shot on the pier. They were such great sports! Danielle sat on everything with those white pants on! Best of luck on wedding planning and I am sure it will be as beautiful as ever!

Jennifer's Maternity/family shoot

Jennifer brought her daughter and husband along for this shoot! I love shooting maternity shoots outside. They were such good sports and sat in the grass! I love it when my clients are not afraid to get down and dirty! Jennifer actually had their daughter and I recently took pictures for their 2 week old. I will post those when I have a chance to blog about it ;) , still catching up on my late blogs!

This shoot was through Bliss. I do independent contracting through them when they need extra help :)

Monique had a girl!

If you guys can remember I shot Monique's maternity pictures. She had her baby and she is 10 weeks old! She was so photogenic and looked directly into the camera! what a joy and she fell asleep towards the end. We started with some studio lights (the first two pictures) and we ended with a few with the natural light at my studio. Enjoy!

Tim and Tammy's Engagement shoot

Some couples choose to do their formals before the wedding, not hours before but months before! It seems like it's popular withing the Vietnamese community because they have the formal portraits blown up on a canvas and hung out at the reception. Tim and Tammy chose to do this option. They also changed and did some casual. Here are a few pictures from that shoot. Can't wait till their wedding in July!

Brittany and Zach are having a baby!

My friend from middle school/highschool contacted me about shooting her pregnancy pictures. The last time I saw her was at her wedding when I did her makeup a few years ago. After brainstorming I convinced her into doing an outdoor pregnancy shoot. I love the feel of the outside wilderness ;). There was this really sweet moment when I was shooting Brittany by herself and Zach was behind me and he said "she is so beautiful." that made me smile so much and I am glad to see that they love each other so much.

Jen and Paul's The Notebook inspired Engagement shoot

Man have I been behind on editing and blog posting! I've been super busy and finally and putting aside time to blog a little bit. This was shot through Bliss. Jen and Paul are great friends of ours and they asked me to shoot their engagement. They were so fun to work with and they both are just so perfect for each other! We first shot at the Irvine lake then we headed to heritage park for more of a rustic look.
