Is it really winter? You can’t tell form these images, thats for sure. 75 and sunny and the beautiful Galway downs in Temecula.The leaves have changed a bit over the past few weeks so it sure made for a beautiful canvas for this pastel toned family session. The Le-Duong family was such a pleasure to work with. Little Emmy was just the cutest little 5 year old! Her smile was contagious and she lit up for the camera the entire session.Anthony, their son was the coolest most relaxed 15 year old. Oncer we fished with the entire family the kids explored the property a bit while we got in some couple images. They have a natural love for one another and it definitely showed in what we captured. 

When you have a super adorable 5 year and a great room to photograph in it is a no-brainer that you must do a Jammie sessions for Christmas for the family. here is my sweet little Cash all decked out in his fox jammies from Zara and as many marshmallows as I would let him have in a 30 minute period. Enjoy !

Lake Oak Meadows romantic wedding.

Is this not a cuteness overload or what! I did  this sweet family’s maternity session last year at the beach and it was one of my favorite sessions to date! We shot in Carlsbad California.

This sweet family was such joy to work with from the very moment we connected!  I love when families value their photos so much that they make it a whole experience.  When they came in for their ordering session it was so hard to choose! They had so many great images to choose from. 

When one of my besties and fellow wedding photographer came to us wanting a completely original  styled adult birthday cake smash I was all in! You have seen it done before but I bet you have never seen it done like this! Every last detail was all our own.Racheal is obsessed with pineapples so naturally, we had to include the most epic pineapple cake. Not to mention this was pineapple flavored and gluten free! All you cake artist know how hard it is to have a pineapple cake stand up like this when it is gluten free, right? I don’t know if her big smiles are from knowing that she was about to eat cake for the first time in 10 years or that we were just having that much fun! We actually shot all of these in our home studio AKA our downstairs living room. We had such a great time. I will definitely want to more of these in the future for sure! Happy 22 miss Racheal! 

Carlsbad, CA. will always occupy a very special place in my heart, so I was beyond excited knowing that Elaine & Erik’s wedding was taking place in Carlsbad last weekend.  The friendly staff at the Sheraton Resort set up a gorgeous, garden style setting, complete with on-demand sunset and ocean views during the ceremony.
