Loved photographing this sweet little family here visiting from Atlanta! Shooting at Little Corona Beach is always a favorite of mine  , nothing beats those cliff views, rocky areas and gorgeous sunsets! Despite the high tide this evening, we were still able to catch some great shots playing along shore, cuddling and strolling the beach! While I love all the candid interaction shots most, I  do still try to snag at least one good image of everyone looking-into-the-camera ...Here are just a handful of my favorites from this Little Corona Beach Family Session!

Alesia + Garrett | Crystal Cove Engagement Session

Alesia + Garrett | Crystal Cove Engagement Session

Alesia & Garrett were so much fun to photograph! For their engagement session we decided on Crystal Cove State Park to really get the diversity of the scenic there, the rocky areas and long stretches of sand plus those gorgeous ocean view cliffs you can’t beat. We strolled the beach , they giggled and hugged along the shore line and explored the rocky areas for some even cooler shots. When we headed back up the beach we decided to throw down a blanket to enjoy the sunset. These two requested to incorporate their fav drinks in their session to add a little bit of personal sentiment, so they had a refreshing few sips while enjoying the sun making its way down the horizon. I love when my clients come out of their shells, and these two did just that with their playful piggy back rides and beach wandering. I try as much as possible to get clients to a relaxed state so they can just have fun and be themselves, because thats when we are able to really capture the raw emotion and connection, the realness between two people in love. For this session we wanted to go for a more soft romantic vibe so we looked for a long flowy blush pink dress for Alesia to wear and thought a pop of color in Garrett's pants would add some character & contrast too so went for a forest green tone. I usually cling to lighter tones for my sessions but for this one we went toward the deeper & richer tones being near the rocks and romantic cliffs. It was a great day for an engagement session , we got some killer sunset colors in the sky!

Congrats Alesia+Garrett! Cant wait till your wedding!

Congrats Alesia & Garrett, can’t wait till your wedding!

Strawberry Farms Golf Club Wedding

 

These two. Oh let me tell you. They are so incredibly in love and it shows. Kathy & Sergio tied the knot at Strawberry Farms Golf Club and they had their small group of friends & family there to witness their very touching love story. It was incredible to see their guests moved to tears and so much laughter during their vows. These are the weddings I live to document , the ones with raw emotion and connection. Kathy & Sergio are so incredibly easy going and made my job super easy. 

They had their dinner reception at Cucina entica Newport Beach . When I stepped in the restaurant, I died a bit inside because it had seeping sunset light with hanging plants everywhere, tons of greenery (all of which are my fav. ) and lots of gorgeous touches of details that my camera was so enthused to document. 

These two are just so incredibly fun and it shows in all their wedding day details!

This wedding was one I will never forget and I love that I can truly call Kathy & Sergio my “friends” after being a part of such an intimate day ;) 

The Schwartz Family // Vintage French-style girl’s nursery and newborn photos

The Schwartz Family // Newport Beach Newborn Session // Nursery Inspiration

This sweet family invited me into their home to document their new little addition to the family . When I entered into this nursery that this mamma pieced together and designed for her little girl arriving , my jaw about dropped. For starters, every last detail was so intentional and the color palette was pretty much a photographers dream!  Second, big brother Fin was super excited to show off his new little sister and definitely stole the show (in a good way) Every mamma wants their baby’s first ever room to be special and Nicole definitely nailed it ! I mean c’mon,  look at that hand made bracelet with baby girls name spelt out, how stinkin cute & personal is that?!

The aesthetic of this nursery is honestly to die for and I couldn't stop swooning over it our entire session, clicking away on my camera.
