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!
