Man (and woman’s) Best Friend

Meet Kali….
My clients/friends Matt and Jen have remained in touch with me since their wedding one year ago.  In fact, right as the wedding was approaching they were in the process of trying to lock in a beautiful home in Laguna Niguel just minutes away from me.  Their dream came true at the first of [...]

The Greco Family

I met Deri and Sam over 4 years ago when they chose me to photograph their wedding.  Wow how the years slip through our fingers!!
Luckily I have always stayed in touch with them although they moved away to Florida.  Had they not relocated I am sure I would have gotten to be friends with them. [...]

The Treats of Spring

Just made an executive decision yesterday morning… as I bike, hike and am all over “the great outdoors” I can’t help but notice how exceptional this spring is… which has inspired… ANY FAMILY SESSION FOR $200.  You heard me right!  Any location (within 20 miles of Laguna) and an entire family shoot with singles of [...]

Welcome to the world Gavin Thomas Boyle!

If you keep an eye on my blogs (or want to search pregnancy category and look it up) I couldn’t resist posting Gavin’s newborn shoot after such a cool shoot of Christine pregnant.  Brendan’s really a hands-on dad.  So cute to see a military guy who’s had to be so brave be so sweet.  And [...]

Everything Happens For A Reason…

This is truly one of the most unique reasons I’ve come across for creating a family session.  It goes a little something like this…
Emily was referred to me by my friend Nicole who works with her at Skechers.  But not for photography.  Emily was interested in renting my Big Bear house for New Year’s Eve [...]

Madeline’s Family

First off, I gotta say that I cannot believe how fast this month, no wait, this YEAR is flying by!!!  Sorry for the lapse, I’ve just been so busy DOING that I haven’t been documenting it.  But this one has to be shared…
I photographed Sarah and Ignacio’s wedding back in ‘05.  I was so excited [...]

Shawn, Richard and the fur-kids!

This is a fun shoot to share because of the background behind how they found me.  I had just ran in Starbucks by my house for a fix…  I mean coffee… when I come out to see Shawn and Richard hovering by my car.  Although I am not a believer of leaving animals in the [...]

Avery the 4 year old rock star!

I wish I could blog every shoot… it’s the ones that stand out to me that are irresistible to share.  After meeting Miss Avery and spending a few hours with this unbelievable 4 year old I knew I’d be telling you all about her.
Let’s start with her first walking through my door.  She immediately took [...]

The Alfaro Family-San Clemente Pier

I am officially old.  (sigh)
I photographed Stephanie and Jim’s wedding over 15 years ago… before I even did weddings professionally.  They have been friends of mine since they first met so their wedding was an ‘experiment’ at the time when I was pursuing fashion.  Little did I know it would be my bread and butter [...]

Dan Jr- Newborn Session

If you scroll backwards a few blogs ago I’d posted a few highlights from Cat and Dan’s pregnancy session… well, baby Danny came 3 weeks early!  We were all so glad we did the shoot when we did, that was a close one!!!  Luckily he was already 7 pounds and perfect health, no premie status [...]
