Santa Monica Senior: Emily c/o 2013
Emily and her wonderful mother Cindy came in for Emily's Senior consult and one of the first things Cindy told me about Emily was that she loves fashion. Emily is the type of girl who would eat Top Roman for a month in order to use her money for a Louie Vuitton Wallet, Chanel jacket, or Prada bag. Loving fashion is such a plus for me when I design shoots, and after speaking with Emily, I knew we had to…
Fullerton Senior Portraits, Claire c/o 2013
Claire is gorgeous; very understated yet an absolutely beautiful young woman. She's arty and very smart, and one of the only Senior girls I've ever photographed who was incredibly reluctant to have photos taken for her Senior portraits. I'm sure she was like many who believe that Senior portraits are hyper traditional photos used in yearbooks with folded hands and blueish backdrops. It was my joy to introduce this photographer and arty young woman to a whole new genre of…
30 days till Mrs.
This past summer, on Father's Day, my incredible boyfriend proposed. Very unexpectedly. Let's just say that I was completely surprised, shocked even. It was freakin awesome!!!

Santa Ana Artists Village Senior Shoot: Aly, c/o 2013

A performing and visual artist, Aly's got a lot going for her. She has a really fun style and is still somehow down to earth. LOVE this girl, and her family! And.. her shoot was insane. She moved beautifully and…
San Dimas Senior Shoot: Katy, c/o 2013
I'm pretty sure that Katy dreams in rainbows and Disney cartoons. She's one of the sweetest, cutest, most kind Senior's I've ever met; respectful, courteous and thoughtful... I could keep going, but major credit to Katy's parents. Truly, this is the kid you always want (my upcoming marriage has me thinking about the next step.. oh no!) and her parents should be (and ARE) extremely proud of the young woman she has grown into. I've been getting to know Katy…
