Love this little family! They’ve been around the blog a few times before. ;) This year for their annual family photos, the mom and I wanted to change things up and bring a little more of an urban feel to the shoot, but with an old town feel. What better place than her hometown of Seal Beach? So much fun to run around with this fam, finding different backdrops and working with the afternoon glow. I love my tried and… Read more »

Rome | Santa Barbara, CA Newborn Photographer
This little man was a dream to photograph. He listened so well to my directions and let me pose, cuddle, move, and then pose again. Good job, buddy. ;) I traveled from Orange County up to Santa Barbara for this little man’s newborn session, and it so worth the drive. And hey, I’ll take 2 1/2 hours of uninterrupted time in the car with peace and quiet. Baby Rome, it’s fun watching you grow, and I’m looking forward to your… Read more »

I’ll take you on a quick little glimpse through my Valentine’s Day goodies I set out, and show you how to easily use the photos from the Valentine’s Day mini sessions you did with… Read more »

FitzGerald | Orange County, CA Family Photographer
How is it that I have the best clients ever? While going through this session’s photos, I was trying to narrow them down, and I was cracking up remembering the fun we had. Jumping in on another photographer’s super adorable mini session props, thinking we’re getting busted, and contemplating climbing an old, rickety, abandoned chicken coop’s roof. WHAT?! Haha, FitzGerald family thank you for making my job fun and adventurous. Love your free spirits and Wyatt’s love of trains. And LOVE… Read more »
K Family Wait for #2 | Orange County, CA Maternity Photographer
I love this sweet family! They let me be crazy and silly with sweet big brother B, and trusted me to do the maternity shoot for #2 and #2’s newborn shoot.

Afternoon in the park + a cute baby belly + an adorable big bro = a great family maternity session. Funny story!… Read more »
Girls’ Room Update | Paper Fans
In an effort to keep GOING in redecorating the girls’ room, I’ve got an update for ya. Paper fans pop up everywhere in blogland and on Pinterest, and they’re just so dang cute. I decided to try this tutorial from Land of Nod’s blog to make some custom paper fans for my girls’ rooms to finish off the wall with the window. As I mentioned in my first post about the girls’ room, I am not a self-proclaimed crafter. I… Read more »
Top 5 Recipes I’m Loving Right Now
I had an old blog–a family blog–and I used to blog “Meal Planning Mondays.” That was fun! I wish I could be so on top of my game and blog MPM again. Sigh…that’s not going to happen. However, I still cook every weeknight, and still plan out my meals for the week. I’ve been doing it for so many years now that I can drop Jake off at preschool on Monday mornings, brainstorm my week’s meals on the way to… Read more »
