The DeLeo Family

12.11.08

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!!!

Amanda + Andrew

12.08.08

Amanda and Andrew were my first mini-session of the day on Sunday. I was so excited to shoot at Camarillo Ranch for an engagement session. The fact that it was already decorated for Christmas was an added bonus. The red walls of the stables and barn are amazing! Amanda and Andrew are such sweethearts. They totally worked it for this session! Congratulations on getting married later in the year at Hartley Botanica!

I can totally tell which ones are Amanda and Andrew’s favorites by thier order.
This one was a hit!

I’m so glad they liked some of the unusual angles :)

I love the christmas card they picked out!

and I love, love, love the picture they picked out for the back of the card. It’s my favorite from their engagement session!

The Lowen’s

12.07.08

I met up with the Lowen’s for thier annual family portrait for the Christmas card. I was so excited that we got to use thier neighbor’s vineyard for the portrait session. There is nothing I love more then portraits in a vineyard at the golden hour. It’s the trifecta! ;)

And if anyone wants to know how they can look as cute and styled as this family check out Julia Rose & Company in Ojai. Taffy owns it! They have the cutest boutique clothes. Tell Taffy you saw her on my blog and that she looks fabulous!

Kip + Davina

I had the pleasure of photographing my kick ass second shooter Kip and his wife Davina. It was about time I did something nice for Kip. He really helps me gets through a wedding. Next time Kips going to take some pictures of me and Steve :) After this session we had a fabulous dinner the King’s Head. We had a really fun wedding there the night before and had to come back and enjoy it on a night off with our spouses. Great night, great photo session!

Kelli and Jimi’s Family

12.02.08

I met up with Kelli & Jimi and the new addition to their family. I love seeing Brides and Grooms again once they start a family! Isn’t Brayden just the cutest! I loved seeing his personality come out in his expressions. I can’t wait to photograph him again when he’s old enough to walk!

This was them then…

Tobi’s Family

11.23.08

For my second mini-session last week I met up with Tobi’s family at the Santa Monica Pier. I just feel in love with the green wall underneath the pier and thought it looked like a fun backdrop. We had fun playing the sand, doing a little hide and seek and running from the waves. I love the beach! If only I were a kid again :)

Kaoru and Patrick were my first mini-session of the day on Sunday. I was so excited to shoot on main street in Santa Monica again. I just love all the brick walls! The way these two look at each other is just so sweet! There was lots of laughs in this session. These two have a great sense of humor!! I can tell their wedding is going to be tons of fun! Can’t wait!

The Wisk Family

10.05.08

I met up with the Wisk’s for my second family session on Saturday. We did our session at the pier in Ventura. The beach was beautiful but the weather was a little crazy. I’m so glad the wind died down a little :) We had tons of fun playing with Ryan and Jack on the beach. The running was tons of fun!
