Post Thanksgiving Post

Hope everyone had a safe and warm Thanksgiving. It was a nice week to just relax, see old friends, and enjoy some holiday cheer. I think I ate too much turkey. Okay, correction... I think I MADE too much turkey, which then led to me EATING too much turkey ;o)

Manhattan Beach Wedding :: Stephanie + Joe

Stephanie and Joe were married this past Saturday in Long Beach, CA. Afterwards, they had a lovely reception at the Ayers Hotel in Manhattan Beach, CA. Thanks to Carrie McCluskey for having me out to shoot with her! This bridal party was one of the most relaxed and calm bridal parties I've ever seen!

It was interesting to see the guys pin eachother. None of them knew how to do it, as Joe was the first in the group to be getting married.

Malibu Wedding Photography :: Eilish + Chris

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of shooting with Elisa again at Los Calamigos Ranch in Malibu, CA. The weather was perfect, and so was the day for this easygoing and fun couple. Eilish made a beautiful bride. Once I saw her feathered hairpiece, that's when I knew she was cool! ;o) Yay for feathered hairpieces! The details were classic and elegant, just like the bride and grooom.

The hairpiece...

Southern California Maternity Photography :: Dianne

A few weeks ago, I was sent an email from a client wanting to gift a cousin with a maternity session. I had never met Dianne prior to the day we did the shoot, but I was pleasantly surprised to meet an energetic, spunky, petite, and super cute young lady! Dianne is due in about a month, and she looks amazing! After research some locations, I found that the Kenneth Hahn State Park was a convenient and varied enough location to give us some options for the shoot. I was blessed with nice cloud coverage that day, and was really pleased with these shots. Enjoy! :o)

Let's start off with my favorite shot of the day...
