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!

This was shot through Bliss

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.

Rebecca and Stephen Wedding- Sneak Peak

I met this couple because the groom is my very good friend's brother. They are very easy going and they were so fun to shoot! The wedding was held at the Pasadena Art Museum. There was a lot of DIY elements at this wedding and it was just so darn cute! I will post more on this wedding later, as for now here are sneak peaks!

Omar and Esmihan Engagement shoot- The Lab

This was also shot through Bliss. They were both from new york and wanted more of a urban vibe so what better place to shoo than the Lab and the Camp in Costa Mesa? It had the graffiti art they were looking for and it was clean and not full of crime! Omar and Esmihan was a great couple to shoot, they had a lot of energy and was full of fun! They had their wedding in Orange County because Omar was originally from here and his family still reside in Orange County.Here are the pictures! Enjoy!

We first started on the painted wooden wall

The under the beautiful archway they have there
Then right outside this store, it's not that weird since we saw a few other people shooting at the lab.
Then we moved onto the Camp that is right across the street.
I love these stairs!

Haha he actually pulled her down!We found little places to shoot through out the Camp.
I love how fun this shot is!

Her eyes are beautiful aren't they?
