Welcome to my blog! I’m a photographer based in Orange County, California. Wedding photography is what I specialize in but I love capturing ALL the special moments life has to offer! This blog serves as my online journal where I’ll post pictures from my most recent photo shoots, share my favorite “YouTube” videos, post adorable pictures of my dogs (yes, I’m one of “those” people), and talk about anything else I feel like! Take a look around…I hope you enjoy your time here!
Kate and I met a couple years ago at a workshop and have been internet buddies ever since :-) We share a love of photography, cute doggies, and of course…NKOTB!!!! When Kate contacted me a couple of months ago letting me know that she was going to be in town and that she wanted to do a shoot with lil ol’ me, I was excited beyond belief because I knew the session was going to be totally rad no matter what we did. The cool thing about shooting other photographers is that they are down for ANYTHING! During the shoot..I actually think I heard the angels sing when I told Kate and Joe to get into a certain pose and she asked “do you want smiling or fierce?”…you know it’s going to be a good day when you hear someone utter the words “fierce” :-)
Kate and Joe..thanks so much for being such troopers! We risked life and limb (and Kate nearly touched doggy poo) to get some of these images but it was totally worth it :-)
Here are some of my favs from the shoot. Kate and Joe wanted a mixture of casual “we’re hanging out in California” images and then some dressier “we’re fierce” images.
I’ll post the casual ones first…
this ones for Joey :-)
love the light in this one!
Now for the “dressy” ones! Kate really loved the anniversary shoot Doug and I did last year and wanted to do part of her shoot at the same location..I happily obliged :-)
fierce!
Love this one!
This bridge was quite scary to get to..I didn’t know if we’d be able to do it but Kate and Joe proved me wrong!
It was gloomy for most of the shoot but the sun peeked out for a little bit :-) Thanks sun!
how cute are they?
I hope birdcage veils never go out of style…they make me happy :-)
Very special thank you to Carina Lindgren from Flawless Faces for doing a fabulous job on Kate’s makeup/hair! She ALWAYS does such an amazing job!
