“the wedding day” The blog is back in action folks! I am thrilled to bring you a wedding that tugged at my heart strings a little more than usual. Living in Australia, Vi + Robin traveled to California to get married at a closer destination to her Vi’s family. I first met Vi + Robin as a couple during their engagement session (4 days before the wedding!), and I instantly fell in love with their…read more

“so hard to say goodbye to yesterday” I apologize for being a lil’ M.I.A. on the blog this past month – it’s been a lil’ hectic with the holidays and the end to a wonderful 2010 wedding season! It’s hard to believe 2010 is already coming to an end – it has been such an incredible, overwhelming and adventurous year for me! This was the first year I worked full time for KLP and I…read more
“could not ask for more” After being a part of their engagement and bridal sessions, I knew Katie + Shaun’s wedding was going to be nothing short of fabulous! They put on the glitz + glamour and were the perfect hosts for all of their families + friends. Katie + Shaun are stylish, successful and full of energy + life. But, what I admire most about these two is their incredible love for one another.…read more
“only girl” Before I share photos from Katie + Shaun’s fabulous wedding, I wanted to share the photos from the bridal portrait session we shot just a few days before their wedding day! I love having the additional time and location to shoot and just hang out with my bride & groom! Sure it helps that Katie is a talented makeup artist and can glam herself up anytime :). From the photos below, you can…read more
“everything” I knew it was going to be a great, fun day when I arrived to the ladies’ getting ready suite at the Pasadena Hilton and found them watching college football and polishing off a bottle of bourbon. I remember I even rechecked my phone to make sure I wasn’t in the guys’ room. These fun ladies were just part of all the awesome elements of Jane + Shawn’s fabulous wedding. What’s not to love…read more
“…baby one more time” Meet my old college roomie! Yes we go waaaay back to the UCLA days and although we don’t share a tiny room (no we didn’t have bed bunks but if Joann’s twin bed wasn’t a loft, I bet I could have reached out an touched her) anymore, we still kept in touch a lil’ thing called facebook :). When Joann (Jobay :)) contacted me to take 30th birthday pictures of her…read more
“i’ll be loving you forever” What I can relate to most about Anna is our mutual teeny bopper love affair (i.e. NKOTB, Edward Cullen and dare I say Justin Bieber?!). But what I admire most about Anna (besides her height) is her success in finding such a good man and carrying out such strong bonds with her family, all the while continuing to pursue her teenage dreams. Anna + Ryan compliment each other in so…read more
“thank you” My crazy phamily just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!!!! I guess we are what we eat (although those aren’t turkeys below) and we will be doing a lot of it! Thank you to everyone who made this year extra wonderful!
“my one and only love” It’s hard to believe the first time I met Margaret + Mua was on their wedding day! They booked me on the phone after finding me on google :). I am so glad that fate/the internet brought us together because Margaret + Mua are two of the sweetest, most genuine people I have ever met. They have such a gentle, happy nature and I kept smiling to myself all day…read more
