Sneak Peek: Seal Beach Maternity Session

Posted in Maternity

Have you missed us?  Our blog posts have been pretty minimal the last couple months.  But, we have a good reason.  This summer has been our busiest one yet.  We’ve shot a number of portrait sessions, engagements, and weddings that have kept our weekends booked and many evenings spent editing photos for our awesome clients.  Including this couple: Stephani and Alex.  These two are expecting a little girl, Ellie, this fall.

For their maternity session, Stephani wanted a location that had both an urban and a beach vibe.  I think we picked the perfect spot: Seal Beach!

We started out with a stroll along Main Street.  Ellie is lucky to have such good genes to work with.

Then we made our way toward the Seal Beach pier.  The pylons framed the happy couple perfectly.

Thanks so much to Stephanie and Alex!  We hope you enjoy this sneak peek!

Irvine Engagement Photography: New Friends

Posted in Engagements

You know how your grandpa always told you if you can find a job you really enjoy, it’s not really work at all? I think we have a job like that. One side benefit to our photography gig is it introduces us to people we might never have met in our day-to-day lives.

Meet Melanie and Keith, a wonderful couple planning their fall wedding in San Diego next year. They met up with us at our secret Irvine Location for engagement photos, but we all had so much fun we had to schedule a dinner date to chat some more!

Melanie and Keith are a photographer’s dream. They look good, they pose without even knowing they’re posing, and they exude a  fun, playful energy. Just look at these two!

And we lucked out during their session.  Keith is a bit of a musician. He brought his guitar and sang to Melanie.

A few weeks ago we met up with Melanie and Keith to get dinner at The Counter for some great gourmet burgers and delicious shakes (thanks for the tip, Melanie!) and ended up chatting until the staff headed home. It’s nice to know who the friendly people are in this town!

Congratulations, Melanie and Keith!

Orange County Maternity Photos: Megan + Stuart!

Posted in Maternity

Remember the sneak peek of this adorable duo?

When we last saw them we were eagerly awaiting the arrival of this little guy.

This morning we finally got the news we were waiting for…Baby William has arrived!!!  He weighs in at 9 lbs 12 oz and is 22 1/4 inches long.  We can’t wait to meet him in person.

Until then, we thought it was fitting to post a few more shots from Megan and Stuart’s maternity session in the historic district of San Juan Capistrano.

Congratulations to Megan and Stuart! And Happy Birthday to Baby William!

Orange County Family Photos: The L. Family

Posted in Children & Family

We always enjoy getting out and meeting new clients, usually at one of our regular photo-friendly locations. But once in a while we try to mix it up and find a different setting to keep things interesting.

The L. family was adventurous and willing to try something a little more rugged and edge-of-nature. Believe it or not, those areas do still exist in Orange County! We found one such spot on the border of Yorba Linda and Anaheim Hills. And Tiffany and Jef were smart to schedule their brood’s session a few weeks before the summer heat wave kicked into high gear.

We knew the greenery would make for a great mother/daughter backdrop.

But we didn’t realize the rocks and sand would be great entertainment for the little guys.:)

We might just add this location to our list of north Orange County options for family portraits. Thanks to the L. family for such a great afternoon!

Irvine Engagement Photos: Shady Canyon

Posted in Engagements

We met up with May and Son in the hills of Irvine—yes, Irvine has hills—to grab some cute shots of them being, well, engaged. We chose this particular area because it looks lively just before summer hits, with willowy wild grass and mustard-yellow flowers sprouting all over. But it was May and Son who brought out the sunshine!

We encourage our couples to bring props with them, especially items that represent their personalities or relationships. May and Son met while playing badminton so they brought their trusty rackets with them.

I think you can tell a lot about people by the way they interact, and these two were so fun and playful.

We finished the shoot just as the sun set over the ridge, which provided some great light and an aweseom warm glow. Congratulations guys! We wish you all the best.

Sneak Peek: Baby William is on his way!

Posted in Children & Family, Maternity

Our good friends Megan and Stuart are expecting their first baby and they were kind enough to give us the first shot at the little guy! We took them down to Los Rios Street in San Juan Capistrano, where they had their engagement pictures taken just a couple years ago.

Megan is beaming, isn’t she? With such good-looking parents, baby William will be a handsome little guy, no doubt!

Love that bump!

Congratulations Megan and Stuart! We hope you enjoy this sneak peek. And we can’t wait to meet the little guy!

Orange County Newborn Photos: Baby Parker

Posted in Newborn

Keith and I hope everyone had a great and safe Fourth of July weekend. While we had a few inquiries to shoot photo sessions over the holiday, we decided it was best to take some time off and enjoy a camera-free weekend.  And it was well worth it!  We had dinner with new friends, caught up with family at a BBQ, headed to the theater to watch Toy Story 3 (yes, I teared up a little), and took a stroll along the pier in Seal Beach.  And if that wasn’t enough, I also had the chance to clear my desk and even prep a few images for this long overdue post.

So without further ado, let me introduce you to Baby Parker.  How adorable is this little guy?

We photographed Parker at three weeks old.  Keith and I loved his full head of hair. We were also quite impressed at his strength.  In the shot above, he propped himself up for a few seconds after we set him on his belly. He’s a future athlete for sure.

Keith and I have been looking for ways to mix up newborn sessions.  We’re in love with all the great and creative crochet hats and diaper covers on Etsy.  We found this adorable bear hat through Crochet TLC.  Based on Parker’s expression, he may not have been in love with it, but we still think it’s pretty cute.

Thanks so much to the T. Family! We’re so thankful for the chance to spend the afternoon with you and meet the newest member of the family.

Orange County Engagement Photos: Heatherly & Chaz

Posted in Engagements

A few months ago, Keith and I talked about how great it would be to go back to school.  Sure, we both enjoyed our college days.  After all, we first met while working on the school newspaper at Cal State Fullerton.  Go Titans!  But this time around we weren’t interested in taking classes.  Instead, we wanted to take photos.  Enter Heatherly and Chaz.  You might remember them from their sneak peek. Aren’t they adorable?

We met up with these two at the perfect spot: UC Irvine.  It turns out both Heatherly and Chaz met and attended school here.  It was fun to hear them share a few stories from their own college days and Greek life as we strolled through the campus.

And I can’t forget to mention Bon Bon, Heatherly’s Pomeranian.  This little cutie joined us for a few shots.

Family portrait.:)

Heatherly and Chaz are getting hitched August 1.  Unfortunately, we aren’t able to photograph their wedding; we have another session on the books that day.  But whoever does photograph them is lucky.  These two are easy to work with and fun to be around.  To Heatherly and Chaz: Thanks so much, and we wish you the best as you start your new life together.
