And I LOVE it … images all taken within a couple blocks of home… all pretty much straight out of the camera…

Super quickquickquick portrait shoot with this family. These kind of shoots are really only about getting a couple awesome shots for the Christmas card. Not my favorite kind of portraits, but I recognize the necessity of photos where everyone is smiling at the camera. Grandmothers NEED those photos. Still fun, because – oh my gosh [...]

Welcome fall! Andrew and I both grew up in the Santa Clarita Valley, where Lombardi Ranch is a big part of most families’ fall traditions. A week or so ago on a Sunday morning – we went to Lombardi’s Ranch!!! Last year, I believe it was closed because of the brush fires. But it was [...]

Make sure you scroll down to see part 1 at Disneyland. We made sure to leave enough time before sunset to tackle California Adventure. Smaller park, but just as (if not more) interesting nooks and crannies. The ‘F’ is not for anything in particular. I think Jenny was taking pity on the F because no [...]

Actually, Bishop, CA – where a lot of my husband’s family lives. We visited a few weeks ago, and I just couldn’t get over the vintage-looking signage.

We went to the beach a couple weeks ago … … and saw scuba divers! So so fun. I love all there is to take pics of in LA. Scuba divers on a Sunday morning in Malibu, walking down the beach in all their gear.

Great list and advice from Darbi G. – fellow wedding photographer and recent bride. Check out her tips here and leave your own in the comments!

I wanted to share one of my recent discoveries. … The One-Dollar Bookstore in Burbank, CA. And, yes. It is exactly what it sounds like. Andrew and I went a week or so ago and spent $18. For about 6 CDs and 12 books. True story. I do have to tell you, though, that the [...]

You may not have noticed, but Andrew and I LOVE living in Southern California again. The other day, we went to Malibu, again. Early in the morning, again. But this time we got there early enough for breakfast. Which you want to do early on a Sunday morning, believe me. The last time we went [...]
