I'm a slacker

I have been going non stop ever since I got home from Thanksgiving. I had at least 2 shoots each day the week after Thanksgiving as well as a few weddings. And I have been working really hard on finishing everyone's album and Holiday Card orders so they will get them in time for the holidays. So to say that I have been busy is an understatement! I am SO behind on blogging, and there are so many that I want to post, but this is what I have so far.

One of those weddings after Thanksgiving was Katherine & Steven's wedding at Arroyo Trabuco. I LOVE this location. Katherine & Steven's wedding was so beautiful. I think I took over 5000 photos that day! So here are some of my favorites.

Holiday Orders **REVISED**

All orders must be placed (with final revisions) by Friday December 7th to ensure delivery in time for the holidays. Please have all FINAL orders in by then. Rush services are available. Please email me with any questions. Thank you!

Holiday Orders

All album and Holiday Card orders MUST be received by Dec. 10th to ensure delivery in time for the Holidays. That includes all edits and changes. Your final approval must be received by Dec. 10th.

Brand New 2007 Holiday Cards!

So many of my clients have been saying that it's so hard to narrow their choices down to one photo for their holiday card. So I'm very exccited to show off my new set of Tri Fold Holiday Cards! The cards are 5x5 in size (so 15x5 opened up) and include envelopes. They are so amazing and the colors can be changed to whatever you want. There are some samples below.

New Family & Baby Albums!

I know it's be a while since I have posted anything, but I wanted to post some samples of my new Coffee Table Albums. They are 10x10 with 20 pages. They have a leather cover and optional dust cover and are awesome! And they are much more affordable than the Leather Craftsman Albums. They are the perfect gift for the Holidays, so if you had your portraits taken this year, there is still time left to order them in time for the Holidays! Click (or copy and paste) on the links below to view a Family and Baby Album. More samples will be coming soon!

On another note, there is still time to get your Holiday Portraits taken if you haven’t done so already. I have brand new holiday cards, albums, storyboards and collages. So be sure to check them out on my portrait website in the “What’s New” section.

Happy Holidays!

Family Holiday Session

Last friday I had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful family in Laguna Beach. Their daughter was so adorable, that I just couldn't stop taking photos of her! I just couldn't resist the shots of her walking to the water. There is nothing sweeter than a little girl in an adorable dress on the beach. Check out some of my favs.............


























LOVE these! I love her reflection
