Resch Family {Orange County Family Photographer}

This was an absolutely fun session to photograph! The Resch family contacted me earlier this year asking for a documentary styled session as they prepared for their most favorite holiday of all: Christmas! It was also the first time they’d be celebrating as a “family” with their little girl’s first Christmas ever! There were so many favorites from this session that I had a hard time narrowing it down, so when you’re through looking at this post, be sure to watch they slideshow!

…Decorating the tree…

This sweet girl even had her own Christmas tree in her nursery!…

And of course, how could any family session be complete without it’s furry companion? For more images from their session, please view their slideshow!

Kira Belle & Family {Mini Session}

I absolutely enjoy watching families grow, so it’s always such a delight to be contacted by a client for another session! Earlier this year I had photographed little Miss Kira Bella as a newborn! Now here she is again, at the milestone age of 6 months, with her beautiful parents for a mini session!

Belly kisses from dads are always the best!

To Kira Belle and family, thank you again for having me document this time in your life!

Eva’s It’s A Small World Birthday Party!

This past weekend, we celebrated my daughter’s 1st birthday party which was themed, It’s A Small World. Linsey of Lux Events & Design brought my idea and vision to a reality and I couldn’t have been any more excited to share these!! I was also excited cause it was the first time I didn’t have to stress over decorating another party (thank you Linsey!!) If you know me, you know I tend to go a lil overboard with my party themes and that I’m a sucker for detail, so be prepared for some detail overload!

First up! The dessert bar!

…The back side of the room…

In addition to the catering done by the venue, I also wanted to incorporate a dessert from a different country… Hence.. one of my favorite food trucks – Crepes Bonaparte!

Next up, the party hat and kiddie bags table! Aren’t the little people cute? I got them off the etsy store, Nested. There was one at each table centerpiece!

Hope you enjoyed this post! I know Eva probably won’t remember this party (other than through pictures), but she’ll always know her parties were a labor of love!

Eva Turns 1! {Small World Birthday}

This very day last year, we spent our Thanksgiving day celebrating what most would consider the greatest gift… the gift of life…

Little Miss Eva Jade came into this world as a dainty little 6 pound 2 ounce turkey, and our entire little “small world” was forever changed. This weekend we will be celebrating her first year with an “It’s A Small World” themed birthday party (her first ever Disneyland ride!).

So of course I could not pass up the opportunity to photograph my little lovebug in some of her party decor. MANY thanks to Linsey of Lux Events and Design for putting this setup together for me!

To my sweet, sweet baby.. your dad and I are incredibly honored that God chose us to be your parents. We love you so much and we look forward to watching you blossom!

After finally coordinating our busy schedules and also combating the unpredictable weather, I finally got to photograph my lovely sister and her family!

I can almost picture my sister’s reaction to this photo with her husband. But because it’s a “family inside joke,” I guess you’d have to know us to get it!

My niece Khayla, is quite the diva. lol!
