Super Hero Birthday Party

So, I am not incredibly crafty, but I admire those who have the vision and the ability to imagine such fun ideas and pull them off really well.  T’s mom is the epitome of what I want to be when it comes to creativity.  She is the go to person with all things amazing.  Her invitation line, Amy G Papers are beautiful high-end custom made invitations.  Amy made custom silk lined capes and masks for every boy at the party and they immediately took on the roles of SUPER HEROS.  I was sweating from chasing them all around the park, but it was soo worth it.  I felt like a kid again, but I admit, I would like a cape too!!

Balance In Everything

I am always so excited to meet my brides and grooms, but so often I don’t really get to see their personalities interact much until their actual wedding day.  Last weekend I had the opportunity to share in Kyle and Seham’s wedding day and I have to say, they are soo perfect for each other.  Like anyone’s wedding day, there were a roller coaster of events and emotions throughout their day that caused them to stress a bit.  Sometimes it was Seham and other times it was Kyle, but I got to step back and just watch them support, love and calm one another.  It almost gave me chills, because I wish for every couple to have that one person that makes the world right for them as they have found.  They seem to be a perfect balance for one another. I am so very excited for Kyle and Seham to start this new journey together.  Thank you for letting me be there with you, thank you for being so kind and most of all thank you for trusting me with this moment in your life.

Thank you to Anaheim Faith Lutheran Church, Santa Ana Train StationJay’s Catering,  David Lockett DJ, Mindy Turner, Lakeview Senior Center,

From Russia With Love

What an amazing day for my favorite little Russian beauty and her dashing man of mystery!!  From one side of the world, to the other, these two seem to have been meant to cross paths that eventually end up on the same trail leading to this amazing day.  Somehow they made the distance between Russia and Southern California seem so small.  Krystina has been waiting for this day her whole life, so there were no complaints about starting the day very early.  She was bright, happy and couldn’t wait to see Robert.  She was so calm and collected in her santa jammies that she managed to keep everyone else on track and at one point she was actually dressing her bridesmaids.  The Orange County Mining Company was a great venue for an afternoon wedding.  A strong Santa Ana wind cleared the valley, so the view was amazing and created a fantastic backdrop for their ceremony.  Everything ran smoothly thanks to their amazing coordinator Debbie who kept a calm course throughout the day.  Amazing Blooms also did a beautiful job for Robert & Krystina.  It all came together and turned out to be so beautiful for them and the pictures…well, it’s hard to take a bad picture of Krystina.  She is sooo BEAUTIFUL!!!  I am excited to see these two over the years and see what amazing things they do with their lives that have been so blessed up to this point!!

I wish you both the absolute happiness in the world!!

Doll Faced Cousins

If I must have a muse, I think this beautiful little girl would be her!!  She looks like a porcelain doll and her mother dresses her in the most amazing clothes.  She wanted nothing to do with me no matter how hard we tried, but her curiosity for the bunnies and flowers at the park helped create many beautiful images.  Her sweet cousin tried so hard to do everything she could to be helpful, but she too could not ignore the fun things that were catching her attention.   All of the adults were worried about not capturing anything to share with their family, but little did they know that by ignoring me, we got our best shots!!

Please Mom & Dad…no PDA!!

With the Holidays bearing down, I always look forward to capturing family portraits for some of my wonderful friends!!  Trey & Erin are always so much fun and their kids are a riot.  The girls are filled with sugar and spice and everything nice…but they can hold their own when their brother teases them with his snakes and snails and puppy dog tails.  Put them all together and you find crazy, wild, fun kids who can’t help but gag from the PDA of their parents!!
