Alex and Angelina

I think I start every blog saying how much fun I had at the shoot but it is always true! So with that said... I had so much fun with Alex and Angelina. They got married about 7 months ago and decided they wanted some photos for their Christmas cards that weren't from the wedding. With facebook and myspace there would be no surprise when people received their cards if they used wedding photos. So we walked around Downtown Fullerton and found a ton of great spots. Some of the interesting/fun moments of our shoot include posing with a fire hydrant while I balanced on unstable valves, jumping in a bounce house even though I really couldn't get any good shots, and posing with an extra wide motorized wheelchair that happened to be sitting outside a store. In the midst of all these crazy shots there were quite a few good ones... check them out!

In case you didn't know, the wall makes it clear. They love each other.


A fun photo






I think this is one of the coolest walls I've found so far


Another fun shot


Some of my favorites were at this beautiful church




Love this wall too!


Aren't they cute together!


Side note- Alex is an awesome graphic designer. He designed the card for my Grandma's 90th bday party. Check out more of his work at http://www.alexanderpavone.com/. Here's the front of the card.



I took the photo of my grandma at her weekly beauty shop appointment. She was pointing at me because she didn't want me taking her picture under the dryer. haha


Thanks again Alex and Angelina! I had a ton of fun with you guys!

Baby Adam

I am so behind on blogging! So far behind that Baby Adam is now driving. Ok, not really, but he is a few months older now. He was so cute I had to share!

OC Fire and Cole

I started with Cole today and there was a small fire burning. By the time we were done, the sky was black and the fire looked huge. We were in Orange and the fires were nearby in Yorba Linda and Anaheim Hills. Here is what it looked like from Orange. The cute girl in front of the smoke is Cole and I will definitely post more of her later on!

Michael, Michelle, Asher and Tova

What a cool family!! I had so much fun at this session. The kids, Asher and Tova, are such individuals and very adorable. Their mom and dad, Michael and Michelle, were great too, letting me chase around their kids with my camera. We shot for over two hours and I could have kept going. Here are a few of my favorites.


A gorgeous family!

I love when kids get along... you can tell they are buddies.





Love her big grown eyes!

A little gentleman!

Precious

Can I use the same caption... this is also precious. =)

I love when I can capture a special moment- no posing- just being a family.

Aren't they sweet! I loved this tree too. =)

So Cute!

Thanks Michelle for trusting me with your family photos. I'm looking forward to working with your family again!!

Christmas Card Fun!

So, I'm WAY behind on my blogging and have a ton to share so I will start with my family's Christmas card photo. My mom wanted me to take photos for their Chirstmas card so we headed to the beach. My brother also went and I thought it would be fun to have a photo of all of us. So after taking a ton of photos of my parents and my mom taking a few of my brother and me, we decided to use this one:



My brother, me, Mom and Dad

Airplanes, Brides and Photogs= Lots of Fun!

I got a chance last weekend to work with a bunch of talented photographers at March Air Force base Museum thanks to Chris Austin of Chris Austin Photography http://www.chrisaustinphotography.com/. What an amazing place for a shoot! Tons of old vintage planes and beautiful brides made it easy to get some good shots. Here are some of my favorites.


Love this! They are newly married and she was wearing her Grandmother's wedding dress.






Jen was amazing! She was totally willing to climb on a plane in her beautiful dress.

Love the hair!

Such an adorable couple!

Gorgeous eyes!


Loved this couple too, they were so much fun! Check out Dana's blog at http://www.thebrokeassbride.com/


I have a feeling they really like each other =)




Enthusiasm, loved her enthusiasm!


Sun setting, an awesome red plane, and a great bride... what else could I ask for!


This was so much fun and thanks to all the brides and grooms... you guys were great!

Mom's New Hair Style

My mom stopped by my house the other day to show me her new hair style. She was very excited and I happen to live on the way home form the salon. My mom always likes to show her sisters in Ohio her new styles so I offered to take a few photos. A few turned into about 100 so I thought I'd share a few. Side note- my mother is (am I allowed to say her age? I'm going to!) 62 years old believe it or not. This is why I still look like I'm about 16... it's in the genes! I know, I know I'll appreciate it when I'm older.



Laughing at me telling her to laugh

I wish I got her green eyes!

Doesn't she look ready for fall?


This was fun. =) I told my mom to go on this spinning thing on the playground. Being the sweet daughter I am, I spun her as fast as I could. When she asked me to stop it, I spun her the other way.





Showing me how much she enjoyed spinning. haha



It's only fair that I went on it too. Photo taken by Janet Dante (aka my mom).



Be sure to leave comments about her hair! Do you love it? So fall appropriate, isn't it?
