It’s funny to me sometimes, when I realize how much I have taken living in California for granted. I’ve got the Ocean, the mountains and snow, the city, the desert and so much more all within driving distance of me, yet there’s still so much I haven’t seen. As much as I hate to admit […]
I am SO excited about this post. I’ve been working so hard at keeping the lid on this new secret- although if you follow me on instagram (@belindaphilleo) you may have gotten a sneak peek already!

Last month I met with Kamrin & Morgan in Huntington Beach to take their engagement photos. We’d chosen a park not too far from where Kamrin grew up as the backdrop for our session. It provided lots of cute spots to capture the love between her and Morgan. Kamrin wanted to theme their session around […]
I met up with Ashley in Fullerton, her college stomping grounds, for her portrait session last month in celebration of her recent graduation. High school senior portraits are a big deal in the photography industry, but this was the first I’d come across someone looking for college graduation photos. I loved the idea and thought […]
