An exclusive event at my studio!

I am very excited about hosting an exclusive event for women at my studio! I will be teaming up with Sandy Rains of Mary Kay Cosmetics and Cher Truskowski of CJ Design to offer women an evening of pampering and indulgence. 

For only $59, each woman will have their makeup professionally applied, have their hair styled and their look styled for their photo session. Each client will have a private online gallery to select their FREE 5x7 portrait from three fully retouched images taken that night. And if that isn't enough... we will be serving champagne & chocolates through out the evening and each woman will receive a swag bag full of surprises!

Space is very limited... hurry and book your appointment today by calling Sandy at 951-972-0719!

My Christmas Card

I was really excited this year about my Christmas card that I was going to send out. I had thought of a really fun concept to incorporate my photography, Santa & me! So here it is...

Merry Christmas everyone!

Santa Mini Sessions

There is something about seeing Santa... it puts a smile on my face, makes me feel young & child like! What could be better then taking your child to visit Santa without the hassle of going to the mall... No lines, no crowds, easy parking!


For only $35 your children can have a private appointment with Santa, create a wonderful memory, and have it captured in the comfort of a beautiful photography studio. I have a limited number of evening & weekend Santa Mini Sessions available. Call me at 949-600-3043 to schedule your child's private visit with Santa!

CVCS Seniors 2012

I had so much fun capturing the images of the seniors at Capistrano Valley Christian School in San Juan Capistrano. They each had a unique style and sense of fun. A couple of seniors opted for doing a double session; a studio session and a location session. The studio sessions were held at my studio at 31341 Niguel Rd., #B2, Laguna Niguel, CA. I shot two sessions in San Juan Capistrano at the train station and in the Los Rios District. For the beach session I met the senior at Aliso Beach in south Laguna Beach.

Sweet Emma

I would like you to meet Emma, my granddaughter! I was so excited when my daughter announced she was pregnant on Christmas day last year and even more excited when we found out she was having a girl! Emma is so sweet and tiny, just a little peanut. She weighed 6lbs. 15oz. at birth. Emma was born on August 9th in Greeley, CO. I just wish she lived closer to Southern California! I spent 12 days with them when she was born and it was so hard to leave. I'll be heading back to Colorado next month and throughout the year so you will be seeing more images of my sweet Emma soon!

Father's Day

A day to honor dads, grandfathers, families... It was a wonderful afternoon in the park with Gramps, Dad & Son. Three generations celebrating the day together and enjoying the park.
