Candid Children's Session: Pasadena

WOW! These three kids were so energetic, curious, bright, funny, and adorable that they were a pleasure to photograph in their candid session. The oldest sister started the session when she picked an apple off their apple trees in the yard... I started snapping photos and from that point on there was never a dull moment. The twin brothers followed their sister and enjoyed the apples, which I thought was cute for the photos. I am so glad that their mom told me she likes candid photos more than posed photos, because I am not sure how many posed ones we would have taken. I love how these photos turned out and I really enjoyed spending time with this family in their candid session.

Wedding: Chelsea and Jeremy

Chelsea and Jeremy got married at the Sierra Madre Congregational Church in Sierra Madre. They had their reception in Chelsea's mother's beautiful backyard in Glendora. They worked so hard planning, paid attention to all the details, and planned an amazingly beautiful wedding reception as well as one of the most fun celebrations! Their wedding party and family were great and really helped them celebrate their wedding day with lots of heartfelt laughter and joy. Thank you for the honor of being a part of your wedding day... you guys are great, it's clear that your love goes deep, and your day was so truly beautiful. Congrats again!

Sneak Peak: Newborn Session

Introducing Baby Sawyer! I met her a few weeks ago and she was so fun to photograph at 10 days old. She was a little bit over 6 pounds and slept almost the whole session. What a dream for a photographer! Congrats Shannon and Brad... you have a beautiful daughter. Thanks for the honor of documenting this time in your family.

Pasadena: Kids' Headshot

WOW! These kids are so adorable! That's all I can say. I had so much fun taking headshots of these siblings. Of course I had to include a couple serious expressions in this sneak peak, but their smiles can just light up a room!

Pasadena Moms Club Playgroup

I recently had the pleasure of photographing some children that are part of a playgroup that meets regularly in Pasadena. Most of the children were around two years old so they were very active and fun! I had a great time and wanted to post a sneak peak of my favorites for the moms. Enjoy!

Wedding on the Queen Mary: Ellen and Jerry

Ellen and Jerry said "I do" at their church and then celebrated their new marriage with family and friends aboard the Queen Mary in Long Beach. Its clear to see that they are madly in love with each other and really know how to have fun and enjoy life with each other. Ellen's love for vintage style showed up in so many of her wedding details... so I had to enhance a few of their photos with a vintage feel. Thank you for the honor and pleasure of documenting your wedding day!

I love this look of excitement that Ellen gave Jerry during their wedding ceremony.

Jerry and Ellen both restore old cars... it's a long story, but that's actually how they met. The next few photos are of their own cars that they restored. We had to get a couple of photos with them both.
