Family Photography Orange County: My sweet family!!!!

My husband bought me my very first tripod for my birthday this week and of course I had to try it out by taking photos of my sweet family. By the way the only time that the tripod was used was for the photos of all four of us. And the photos of me and the girls my husband took which are amazing! There  is something just magical when you are at the beach. The smell of the salt air, sand, kids and adults alike enjoying the outdoors makes great photos.  It was overcast which for us photographer is the ideal lighting; therefore I did not do much in post editing. Paisley was so excited to be at the beach it was hard to get her to calm down and take some photos, but managed to get a few stunning ones. I love the candid ones of my husband and baby Olive, so sweet. There is nothing like seeing dads and their babies! I'm so happy with the photos and I can't wait take more of the family 









Children and Family Photography Orange County: Grandmother's love


There is nothing like a mother's love and its a greater love when it comes to grandchildren's.  There are no words that can sum up the strength of my mother. She is the person that I strive to be and hopefully one day I can come close to how magical she is.  This session happened on accident... I walked into the kitchen and noticed my mom giving Olive a bath on the deck.  I can remember my mother saying to me....I used to bathe you like this when you were little in Cambodia.  I was lucky then and even more lucky now to be inspired and loved by the strongest woman I know!  I love you ma






Family Photography Orange County and Portland Oregon: Picture Perfect


This picture perfect family is the cutest. Sara is my dear friend from grade school and its hard to believe that we are grown and have families of our own.  Time does really fly by!  I will be spending a lot more time up north in Portland in the next coming years, so you'll see more photos of this lovely family.  I'm so lucky to capture moments for a family that I adore! 















Children Photography: Sugar high


My poor love bug, she fell a few days back from when these photos was taken.  Got a fat lip so I thought I would treat her to straight sugar on a stick!  Big mistake big mistake..... I don't think she fell asleep that night til like 10pm...
