Boudoir Teaser!

It's been a while I know, but I've been busy around here.   I've been working on making a new website go live and editing some new boudoir shoots!  So excited to show you some teasers.  These beautiful ladies wanted to have their shoots done before Christmas for their very special men in their lives!

Want to see?  Here's a sneak peak because I wouldn't want to give it away for their surprises!

Mee Ceci:

More to come after the holidays!

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all!

Newborn: Lil'Abe

Meet Abraham:

This guy was born just a week ago and he became a model for day!  Although, I must admit, I don't think he wanted to be bothered!

He would rather be doing this:

...or just fed + burped by mommy!

He's a super alert little one...and he loves to stare at his uncle!

Vintage Bridal Shoot

Less than a month ago we held a bridal event in Tustin and I should have definitely taken advantage of taking more pictures but I was much more involved in making the event run smoothly.  I just captured a couple before they were off to the McCharles House but this one was my favorite.

We're going to have a full on shoot soon!  Excited!  More news to come as well!

Real Wedding :: Seta & Wesley - Part II

And now for the ceremony, which was also beautiful beyond words!  Oh and the flower girl, cute as a button!

And the party commenced!

Congrats Seta & Wesley!

Real Wedding :: Seta & Wesley - Castle Green, Pasadena - Part I

I am so happy to share these pictures and story with you!  Earlier this month, Holly of Cakes and Kisses asked me to assist at this beautiful wedding and I was so psyched!  The traditions in this culture seriously blew my mind.  From the time Seta slipped into her dress, it was a full blown party!  It was smiles all day!

Instantly beautiful!

It was a party all morning, but the festivities really started when the groom came!  I love this shot!  You can see all the happiness and energy surrounding them!

Before the ceremony we went to Cal Tech.

Love this one!  The boys really wanted to "suave" shots!

Next up the ceremony and reception!

Aleah + Nick

- Wendy style!

I tagged along with Shannon for an e-zine shoot for Aleah + Nick and she decided to shoot a retro stylized shoot of this awesome couple.  I had to practice, so here are my favorite shots!  HERE are shots by Shannon btw.

Aren't they cute?  They work together and live right off a beach in SD.  That's the life!

Thanks for letting me tag along Shannon, Aleah + Nick!

Meet

my St. Maarten friend.

and the food I will miss!

and oh...the sights!

I'll miss you!  BTW, these were taken with my point & shoot.  I still can't seem to travel with my 7d because I'm scared I'[ll break it, lose it, etc...some day!
