Heather wanted pictures on the beach. You never have to twist my arm to go to the beach. It was a beautiful day! I got down there really early, so I decided to take a quick trip over to Balboa Island. I was on cloud 9! I still haven't gotten used to the fact that I live in California again and I am less than an hour away from some of my favorite places in the whole wide world! I called my parents and bragged about where I was and they were jealous, that was mean, I know, but I couldn't help it. I even got my FAVORITE "hippo" cookies at Dad's. You have to try them, they are fantastic! Then I went over to Laguna Beach for Heather's bridals. She is such a stunning bride, beautiful! I can't wait for her wedding on Saturday!
This shoot was so much fun! Ava's daddy is one of my good friends from college, way back, like 9 years ago. It 's so fun to watch all of my friends grow up, get married and become mommies and daddies. And what adorable babies they have...
What a fun time I had with Hilary. She is such a cute girl and she doesn't know how to take a bad picture! Seriously, I had the hardest time choosing favorites, in every picture she looked so beautiful. That makes my job so easy. That is why I love capturing this age. Everyone wants to remember when they were young and beautiful.
Wow! 22! This was definitely a first for me, 22 kids, not including parents. They were all so much fun and so full of energy. It was pretty much impossible to get ONE picture where all of the kids were happy and looking at me, but we came pretty close. I did have to switch out like 6 heads, I thought it would be a lot more, but I am really happy with the outcome! It didn't hurt that the kids are BEAUTIFUL! I had such a blast!
I was so happy with how these images came out. Stephanie is such a beautiful, so it wasn't very hard to take a beautiful picture. These were taken at Wheeler Farm, it has been one of my very favorite places to shoot while I lived in Utah, so many fun hidden places. Stephanie didn't get to do bridals before she got married, so while I was back in Utah we decided it was the perfect opportunity. Enjoy!
