Sunset Beach | Shoot and Meet Photography Event

Portraits

If you’re a regular reader of my blog, you’ll recall that about a year ago I joined a small Facebook group called Shoot and Meet. Shoot and Meet is a group that organizes events for local photographers every few months to network and photograph each other. At first I was really shy about getting to […]

Diamond Bar Portrait Session | Chris

Portraits

High school. It’s that time when you’re starting to figure out who you are and where you want to go in life. A rite of passage. Photographing teens/high schoolers has unexpectedly become one of my favorite parts of this career. Especially for the ones I photographed when they were little. To me, it’s an honor […]

Shangri La Estate, Temecula, CA | Styled Wedding Photography

Weddings

Last year I joined a photography group on Facebook whose purpose was to network and help photograph each other. Every few months we get together, mingle, and photograph one another so that some of us can portfolio build and others can get photos of themselves.

Jackie & Leia | Huntington Beach Portraits

Griffith Observatory | Shoot & Meet

Travel

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 […]

Orange County Maternity Session: Jennifer

Portraits

It floors me to think that my first maternity session was already three years ago. My sister in law was carrying my nephew, her first child, and I was overjoyed at the opportunity to record such an exciting time in her life. Now, three years later she’s about to give birth to my niece and […]

Romantic Night in Newport: Desiree & Christos
