I had the pleasure of photographing my cousin Laura’s family during my mini-sessions at the Camarillo Ranch house.  I love the red barn and I think it makes the perfect back drop for Christmas portraits!

Enjoy Lauren & Matt’s fabulous Rancho De Las Flores wedding slideshow!  It was a beautiful garden wedding with handmade details. I love the ranches in somis.

Lauren and Matt were the last couple to get married at Ranchos De Las Flores in Somis.  I think they went out with a bang! The ceremony, portraits and reception were so beautiful! I thought Lauren looked absolutely gorgeous! I loved her hair and her eyes really popped!  Ranchos de las flores in on the top of a hill behind Camarillo and gets such amazing light. We really had fun shooting some golden hour portraits.  Of course I always love a reception lit by Chinese lanterns!

Justine got this great image of Lauren and her Dad about to walk down the aisle!

Amanda and Andrew had a fabulous wedding at Hartley Botanica on a very festive 4th of July weekend.  The wedding was so beautiful!

I love designing wedding albums. I really enjoy putting the images together so that they tell the story of the day.  Here’s an album that I recently designed from a wedding at Spanish Hills Country Club in Camarillo.  All wedding albums are designed to be square albums.  Once the pre-design is complete you can select the design to be printed as a fine art matte book or a flush mount album.

Desirae and Graelon were married on Saturday at  Spanish Hills Country Club in Camarillo. The wedding was so beautiful!  I knew the wedding would be a fun time after shooting their engagement session at the Santa Monica pier last fall.  Desirae’s mom did all the flowers and they were amazing!  Here’s a sneak peak of some of my favorites. More to come!

Desirae made such a stunning bride! She is sooo beautiful!

I love casual informal bridal party portraits.. the more laughs the better!

I love the moment when they first see each other! So sweet!

Emmett has his Daddy’s smile :)

Noni did such a good job on the flowers!!!!  I love these bouquets!

Desirae and Graelon had the best details!  I’m so jealous of all the crystals that she had at her wedding. Her centerpieces matched the chandeliers from the Country Club perfectly!

Graelon’s brother sang his toast! He wrote and original balled just for Desirae & Graelon!  it really was the funniest thing I’ve ever seen at a wedding to date. I can’t wait to see it again on video!!!

I think pregnancy is so beautiful!  it’s such a gift.  Devin looks amazing in these portraits.  We went with an old vintage boudoir theme for this session.  The best place for vintage portraits is an old vintage house.  I love shooting weddings at Camarillo Ranch and was so excited to shoot some boudoir images on those amazing vintage chaise lounges.  Devin’s 6 months along in these images and I think that’s the perfect time for maternity sessions.

I’m so glad I got to do pictures with Kristina’s family this year. We were supposed to do it last year and postponed. I met Kristina at Kim and Bill’s wedding and was soooo looking forward to taking more pictures of Zoe. Those blue eyes are so expressive and beautiful! It was so much fun to do a session with the whole family. And the pumpkin bread Kristina gave me afterwards totally hit the spot. Enjoy!!!
