Kika + Jeff’s Engagement
Saturday, Kika, Jeff and I headed out to the Windansea Beach in La Jolla. I had never been there and I couldn’t believe how deserted it was! Well, compared to the Cove! We shot for a bit there, then headed over to La Jolla Cove to finish off the 2 hour session.

Kika and Jeff are getting married on July 28, 2007 at the Bali Hai. These two were so great, and best of all, they wouldn’t keep their hands off each other! You can just tell that they complete each other. I can’t wait for the wedding! Kika’s family will be coming up from Brazil so it should be a fantastic celebration!
I have to mention, I do edit my photos. But the sky was so blue this day that the water just looked amazing! I barely had to edit these at all, the water really was tropical that day!







The Levine Family

I shot some family portraits this past Saturday at the Levine family property. They were a fun group to shoot, and I love this funny shot I got of them!

Thanks you guys, I had fun!

Ladies that lunch!

On Thursday, Jen and I had lunch with the beautiful and talented Jasmine Star. We contacted her after I read a blog by the amazing [b]ecker. In his blog, he talked about helping up and coming photographers with their business by letting them take him to lunch and pick his brain. So great. He is inundated by lunch dates, and we are avid Jasmine Star blog stalkers so we asked her to lunch.

She chose BJ’s in Irvine. I think I liked the food, but honestly I was too distracted by everything that Jasmine was saying to even taste my pineapple pizza!

The choc chip/peanut butter Pizookie was fab!

The afternoon went better than planned, I learned so much today to help my business and I hope we didn’t overwhelm her with our questions and praise!

Big News…

Okay, so I have been holding this news back long enough…

This Friday, People Magazine is releasing a Real Life Weddings Issue…

And my photos are going to be featured!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s a special edition issue, not a regular subscription one but you can go pick it up anywhere the magazine is normally sold!

They were looking for unusual wedding situations and I just happened to shoot a wedding in Ramona last October that had an unusual bridal party…

Devon + Doug

The whole night was full of laughs. Doug is just hillarious and Devon can keep right up there with him. They fit together like two peices of a puzzle.

And it’s no wonder that Devon and I get along so well…we share a mutual close friend. One of my oldest friends from junior high, Nicole, moved to Irvine her sophomore year. She and Devon became best friends. I tease Devon that she was the new “me” when it comes to Nicole. haha

Devon and Doug were married June 2, 2007 at the Catamaran Hotel and Resort.

They saw each other before the ceremony, which made the whole day fun and relaxed! Doug’s first glimpse of his bride to be:

There’s nothing like relaxing with some beer pong before the ceremony. Don’t worry, none got on the dress!

Doug and Devon were both very emotional during the ceremony:

There was a table covered in drawing paper (Macaroni Grill style) for the kids to draw on. Of course, I feel like a kid still 😉
