Welcome to my blog! My name is Trista Lerit and I am a wedding photographer based in Orange County, California. Beautiful, Modern, and Edgy Wedding Photography is what I specialize in but every now and then, I love capturing little rascals a.k.a. kids!

This blog is where I'll post pictures from weddings, engagements, and little rascal sessions that I've shot recently. However, I won't limit my posts to photography related things only! This blog also doubles as my online diary where I'll discuss my love of food, 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!

I'd love to hear from all my blog visitors so please don't be shy, my blog doesn't bite ;-)

Thanks for stopping by and come again soon!

So, on Saturday I was shooting my bride Kari getting ready (hi Kari!) and everyone was having a great time listening to the CD her bridesmaid made for her.  There were some really great songs playing and then all of a sudden..THIS song comes on.  I was like "OMG..I know this song..how do I know this song?  Where did it come from?"  They exclaimed "Jeremy Jordan...from 90210!" and then it hit me...I was in love with this guy for like a couple of seconds back in the day..lol..I'm sure some of you were too!  All I can say now is...Thank God it's not the 90's any more..lol..the jeans back then were atrocious!!!

Just thought you'd enjoy a little ride down memory lane :-)  No need to thank me :-D

p.s. go on You Tube and search for Jeremy Jordan "Never Been Kissed"..you will not believe it's the same guy!!

Remember Diana and Derek?  They were the fabulous couple that won my contest I had a couple of months ago!  I have been sooo looking forward to this session with them!  Not only was I excited to meet them, I was very excited to meet their sweet little twin girls!  As soon as I saw the girls, it was love at first :-)  They are both sooo precious..Emma smiled as soon as I started talking to her and of course that melted my heart :-)

Initially, the concept of the shoot was to have Diana and Derek have some "alone" time and just focus on each other.  But really, their little girls are a part of who they are now as a couple so I thought it only natural to also have some pictures of them with their girls.  To see them with their girls is just so precious..I even thought "hmmm...maybe I want twin girls?"  They seriously made it look so easy although I'm sure it's soooooooo NOT!  It did give me hope though that if they can have twins and still like each other a lot, then Doug and I can have one and still like each other a lot :-P

Diana and Derek...thanks so much for inviting me into your home and sharing a little bit of your life with me!  It made me so happy to see you guys enjoying each other and spending some "alone" time together (even though I was with you the whole time snapping away..lol!)  While I was working on your pictures, I couldn't help but notice how lovingly you two look at each other...that made my heart happy knowing that even with the stress of having two babies to care for, there is still that spark in your eye.  Whatever you do, don't lose that!  

Now for some of my favorites!

How adorable is Kristina!  Since Kristina and Emma are identical twins, I asked Derek how they were able to tell them apart.  If you can see the little bangle on Kristina's leg, that's one way.  Emma wears hers on the left :-)  There's also another way to tell them apart involving ears but Derek told me not to tell :-)

And here's Emma...I love this pic!

So adorable!!

I love this one of them just hangin' with their girls :-)

Now for some Mommy and Daddy alone time!  We started the session in their beautiful backyard..

Then headed to Old Town Tustin...such a cute little town!

Love how they are looking at each other here..can't you feel the sparks?!

One hot mama :-) (thanks to Carina for doing a fab job on hair/makeup!)

Love this!

They seriously make such a cute couple :-)
