Andrew & Courtney + Engagement

Sunday, April 26, 2009
Saturday, April 25th, 2009 + Various Locations in Orange County
I knew I adored Courtney from the moment I met her, but watching her interact with the love of her life was quite possibly one of the CUTEST things I have ever seen. She was so jumpy and bubbly around him. Andrew was quite the trooper too! He lasted through about six hours of shooting and four different locations. When you mix the best of these two together (Courtney's enthusiasm, deep love, complete cuteness, and kind heart with Andrew's patience, strength, care, and love towards Courtney) you get an absolutely successful life of love ahead! I have no doubt that these two will have an incredible life filled with adventures and good times. I cannot wait until their wedding in May. It is just a few short weeks away. I have no doubt that this will be a joy-filled event that will bless everyone! :) Thank you two for sharing your day with me. Thank you for sharing your joy and happiness. You two are truly incredible. :) There are a TON more pictures to come, and more fabulous descriptions of this wonderful couple. :)

Hannah + Senior Portraits

Saturday, April 11, 2009
Saturday, April 11th, 2009 + Various Locations in the Inland Empire
Today was quite the priviledge to shoot Hannah's Senior Portraits. Driving around with her, listening to her tales of her best friends, upcoming prom, and hopes for a life after graduation was quite inspriting. She is so vivacious, loving, and at her young age, quite successful as well. I know that her parents certainly beam with pride at the very thought of her. She is headed for a life of complete happiness. I had so much fun with Hannah. She was so confident and comfortable with herself. It says a lot about a persons character when they can just comfortably smile infront of a camera. In the coming weeks, you will see some pictures in front of her church. Hannah is a girl scout. Besides selling those INSANELY DELICIOUS cookies, she also worked on a huge project. She built a beautiful garden-gazebo area in front of her church. Those pictures will be posted in the coming week. Hannah, I wish you a lifetime full of blessings. I know that you will only continue to develop as an amazing person. Never lose your faith. Never lose your fervor for life. I can guarantee that a lot of people will find hope in the love that you have to offer this world. I know graduation is just a short month and a half away, but I wanted to say right now, CONGRATULATIONS! You deserve all of the wonderful things this world has to offer.

Cori and Baby "J" + Family Session & 2nd Birthday Celebration

Friday, April 10, 2009
Thursday, April 9th, 2009 + Crystal Cove A N D Balboa Beach & Pier

Absolute
B E A U T Y that can T A K E Y O U R B R E A T H away. I am not talking about the scenery behind these two. Cori and her daughter "J" are absolutely gorgeous girls. Beyond the surface level beauty, it was quite amazing to see deep love shared between mother and daughter. I am sure a lot of you know what I mean, because you can just sense it when you first meet people like Cori and "J". Their session was certainly one of the most fun ones that I have had (which you know says a lot, since I have a lot of fun on all of my sessions!). Cori is such a great mom. You can see her passions lie in helping others. She certainly has given her goodness to her daughter, as every step they both took was with elegance and grace. It is simply amazing how a few hours can make such a profound impact. One day, I hope to be as good as a mother to my child(ren) as Cori is to her insanely gorgeous daughter. Cori, I am a much richer person because I met you and your daughter. I look forward to more shoots with you. Welcome to the family. Welcome to the O H A N A.
