Since Michelle and Steve love the ocean so much Pacific Corinthian Yacht Club was the perfect choice for their wedding reception! I’m so glad we got to take some portraits on the wooden sailboat! That was so much fun. I loved the view from the yacht club at night. The harbor looks so beautiful at dusk. Congratulations Michelle and Steve! I hope your having a fabulous honeymoon :)

We snuck in my last engagement session of the year on a super dramatic winter day. Michelle and Steve got some amazing stormy beach skies that I just love!!! MIchelle works on a boat so it’s sooo fitting that they had thier engagment session at the harbor and on the beach. Michelle and Steve were such a fun couple to shoot! I can tell that their wedding is going to be full of a ton of laughs!
Zhipi wanted some nautical themed holiday portraits so we headed on down to the Channel Islands harbor. Let’s just say that it was sunny in Thousand Oaks and arctic down in the harbor. It’s like we’d traveled up to Alaska.. ok maybe not that extreme but chilly!!!! Zhipi’s hair looked so beautifully straight when we headed over… but it just wouldn’t be Zhipi without those curls ;) LOL! We tried!
I love this one of them laying on the grass. I had Zachary’s crab in my hand and he was just dying to play with it!
loved it in sepia, color and b/w.. just couldn’t decide!
Cute one of the boys!
and we designed the cutest holiday card. It’s a 5×7 folded card. It’s just as cute on the inside and back as it is on the cover!
I met up with the Young’s at the Dune’s in Oxnard. The kids had such a great time playing at the beach. It was so great to catch up with Karen & Ron again. We shot right before sunset and the light was amazing! We went right before sunset. I just love shooting at Oxnard Shores!
Comments from Karen:
The photos are amazing!! They are all so good I will have a very difficult time trying to narrow it down to only 10 for our living room wall. Thank you sooooo much for doing this shoot for us. :-)
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and I’ll talk to you soon!
Hugs,
Karen
