We have a couple of weddings we are working on editing and will be posting really soon, but we just had to share a few of Eric and Lina’s wedding.  It was absolutely beautiful and we are excited to share more of there amazing day.  For now, here is a glimpse into their beautiful day…

The Hartanov family are really good friends of ours and their youngest of 4 daughters just turned one a few months ago.  So, we took the youngest two to the park while the older girls were at school and took a few pictures.  The girls are just as cute as can be and their light blue eyes are simply stunning!

Sometimes it is fun to just have recent family photos taken which is exactly what we did with the Kent family.  It was fun to get them together and just let the kids be kids.

One of our favorite things about photography is getting to meet new people and watch all the different family dynamics.  Lauren and her dad, Brad were absolutely so much fun to be around and were a great reminder of why we love our job.  Brad is definitely not lacking in the personality department and well, Lauren is as they say, “the apple does not fall far from the tree”.

Lauren contacted us a few months back to schedule a photo shoot with her and her dad for a Father’s Day gift for her dad.  They have always spent father/daughter days together on Balboa Island enjoying frozen bananas, shopping and a walk around the Island.  She wanted to capture some of these precious moments they have had together.An interesting part of their lives is that Brad has worked in the educational field with children who are hard of hearing and thus, he taught Lauren sign language as a baby.  The first picture is of the two of them signing, “Happy Father’s Day”.

Never too old to have fun and give your daughter bunny ears

They have taken walks along this ledge hand in hand since she was a little girl.

Well, we are running out the door to spend the day at Disneyland before our passes are blocked out for the rest of the summer, but we wanted to leave you with some sweet baby goodness.  The daughter of some of our good friends just turned 18 months old and she is as cute as can be.

Hope you all have a good Monday!

There are times when the lighting, the setting and the people make for a magical moment in the art of photography.  These moments are unpredictable, but when they happen it feels like Christmas.  At least in our own eyes, this is one of our favorite photo shoots.  It has left us with a deep longing inside for more.  We feel inspired and have fallen even more in love with this art.  The art of documenting the most precious moments of our lives.

Ashley and Eric are experiencing one of these precious moments.  They are expecting their first baby girl this July and they are going to name her Emma Grace.  This much anticipated little baby is going to be born into such a beautiful and wonderful family.  One of Ashley and Eric’s hobbies is playing board games.  They love to spending an evening together playing games and enjoying each other’s company.  So, we thought it would be fun to incorporate this hobby into their photo shoot.

Hope you enjoy these photos as much as we do (hence the reason for the really long post).  And seriously, could Ashley be any cuter only one month before she is about to have a baby?!?!

Nikki and Anthony have spent several dates and special moments together in downtown San Juan, so it made for a perfect location for their engagement pictures.  They will be getting married this July and they are really excited about what the future holds for them.

We have been friends with the Trevino Family for about 10 years now and we really enjoyed the chance to photograph their ever growing family.  With some family moving out of the country for a season it was really a great opportunity to get a few pictures of all of them together.  The original Trevino 7 has now blossomed into a beautiful family of 20 including 2 sets of identical twins and more on the way!

Our friend and photographer Chris Hofschroer shot this session with us.  It was great to add his artist perspective.  There were so many photos to choose from, but here are a few favorites:

We were really excited when Megan Gray of Honey and Poppies contacted us to let us know that our photo shoot with Utterly Engaged was also going to be featured on LA Style Unveiled!  Check it out here.

One of the reasons we love photography is because it is a way to tell the stories of our lives that make us unique and interesting. Photography allows us the chance to pass those stories along as treasures that will last lifetimes.

This past Christmas we took pictures of Mike and Kristin and had so much fun with them during our shoot. They were such a great couple to work with, so we were really excited when they contacted us about shooting Kristin’s entire family. Kristin and her brother had decided that their parents’ Christmas gift would be a photography session. We always welcome the chance to gather an entire family together for pictures, because we get to help them tell and preserve their story. Here are a few photos from this amazing family’s story. Hope you enjoy!
