Last Saturday I was invited to attend a workshop with Bella Pictures in La Jolla. I had a great time getting to know some OC and LA photographers during our day together!

I want to say that I have shot one wedding for Bella last year, but I do not and will not be working for them in the future. If you are a photographer and would like any more info about working for Bella, I will be happy to give you my personal opinion through email.

Cris, I can’t find her website right now, but when I do, I will update!
Hillarious photo of Carrie Chow!

Like I said, it was great getting to know everyone! I hope our paths cross in the future!

I just got an email from Clara and Todd. They were the couple that I photographed at the OC Trash the Dress last year. They are entered in the Knot’s contest to win a Safari trip to Africa! How fun!

Now, I was not their actual wedding photographer considering I met them two days after their wedding! But they did use one of my photos for the contest! 🙂

Click the photo below to head on over to the Knot and vote for them! You do need to sign up to vote, but it just takes 1 minute and they promise not to spam you 🙂

Good luck Clara and Todd!!

When we were doing the album shoot from my previous blog I got to meet Jermaine’s daughters for the first time. Leah is 4 years old and little Leilani is only one month!! They are so precious!

This was a quick impromptu photoshoot, I wasn’t there to actually shoot them, I just got these will waiting for the guys to get ready!

Tim (my fiance) has some really great friends who are all musicians. His good buddy Jade Flow is working on an album coming out and asked us to take some photos of him for it.

We met him at his home in Menifee last Sunday afternoon and headed over to a local park.

I love this shot, just having a good time:


This was so funny, we had a great time doing this shot over and over
Tim and his buddies:
Good luck on your album Jade!

Last Saturday, I surprised Tim with a trip up to Running Springs, just below Big Bear. The Harris Family joined us for Tims first time ever seeing snow!

Jen’s other son, Logan (age 2) loved the sled!
Jen’s in-laws live up in Running Springs so we went by their house. Here are 3 of their 5 dogs.

Dudley, Bear (actually belongs to their son and his girlfriend) and Fiero:

I love this one 🙂
Tim took a little hike down a huge hill by himself. He took all of these shots! I am so impressed!

We had such a good time and Tim adores the snow now…next up! Snowboarding trip! Who’s in?
XOXO,
