A little mix of both outdoor and studio...

Last year I did the Crouch Family holiday portraits, and this year they wanted to do both outdoor and studio photos. Here is a seek peek of some of my favorites. The studio photo was taken in my home studio and the outdoor photos were taken at a nearby park in Irvine where I live.

Beautiful, autumn Leaves....

My friend, Lily and her son Chase, came to visit me and we did a mini photo shoot in my neighborhood. I had been driving by the beautiful, autumn leaves and was dying to do photos. :)

Ferndales Bridal

I wanted to get some nice photos of a bride in my studio, so I asked my friend, Alexis, to be my model. The next thing I needed was a dress and accessories. A month ago, I went to an event at the Museo in Anaheim to check out the new venue they have to offer for weddings and events. While I was there I came in contact with Ferndales Bridal. They are a family owned bridal and tuxedo shop in Orange and have been in business for over 15 years. I had the opportunity to work with Connie, the owner, and her two daughters, Emily and Ana. They were very generous to loan me a bridal gown and accessories and in return a gave them beautiful photos to display in their store. I highly recommend them to any brides and grooms in search of the perfect attire for there wedding. http://www.ferndalesbridal.net/

Oceanside Pier

My friend, Mandy, is a long time friend. I remember the days we would go and do just about everything together. The camping trips to Idyllwild, playing hide and seek in my neighborhood, and to being in pageants together. All good times. Her and I were also roommates in college, and I was a bridesmaid in her wedding. Now she lives in Lake Arrow Head with her husband Tommy and their little boy, Tommy Jr. He was so cute the day of the shoot, I can't believe how well he could talk. It was like carrying a conversation with an adult. Unfortunately, Tommy was unable to make it down to Oceanside for the shoot, so we will be getting together again soon. I love you guys!

Wedding of Tiffany and Jose

The Atnip Kids

Every year for the Holidays I like to get photos of my nephew and nieces. They grow so fast and I want to capture my memories of them. My Brother, Jordan and his wife, Theresa live in Lake Elsinore and I love when I can make it out there to hang out with the family. Kayla, 9; Tait, 3; Teagan, 17 months.

Newborn Shoot

Mike and Jen have a new little addition to their family, his name is Blake Tomarelli. It was a pleasure to shoot a newborn since I haven't done one in a while. He was such a good sport, and a cute one at that! :)

Hello!
So you ask, "why the star on my face?" hehe! Well, I entered to win a profile photo contest to win a free Photo Workshop in New Zealand. We had to make something creative with the use of a star in the image. So this is what came to mind. Check out this link to view the information on the workshop. www.JasmineStarWorkshop.com

A Day at the Beach...

Brand Model and Talent Agency_Photoshoots

Brand Model and Talent had a model search last month at the District in Irvine and I was fortunate enough to be introduced to Patty Brand, owner of Brand Model and Talent Agency. After reviewing my work on my website, she offered me the job of shooting the new faces discovered at the model search. Here are some of the photos from the shoots.

Family Day at the Park

I met Cheryl and Garret a few years back from a mutual friend, right before they got married. We recently ran into one another at the WaterMarc Restaurant in Laguna Beach and I was so excited to hear that her and Garret had created a wonderful life together with two amazing children. We immediately set up a day to shoot and it was great to meet the kids. They are so cute and it was nice to see the family. :)
