ZUMA BEACH

We had a great day at beautiful Zuma beach! The best part for me was getting these pictures of the dolphins out surfing with the locals. You can make out their shadows in the wave and then just as the wave is about to crash on shore they launch themselves up and out of the wave. It was amazing!

Seth & Michelle Wedding

Here are a few of my favorite pictures from their wedding - it was a beautiful ceremony in the beautiful backyard of her parents home.












I especially love this picture - it captures Michelle's expression after she realized that she just put Seth's wedding ring on his right hand....


One of the most tender moments was when they whispered their vows to one another...

Senior Danny

Danny was so easy to work with from the first picture to the last. We had several images that really turned out great - here are a few of my favorites.


I loved the color or Danny's guitar - the color really brings out his blue eyes too!


We found a green door out by the track field - a great back drop for his uniform!

Ashley Senior Pictures...

What beautiful brown eyes! Working with Ashley was fun - she wanted some different images, so we had a good time playing around with that.















I love this one with the amp - whenever she laughed I could always count on a great smile!

With such a beautiful backyard - we didn't need to travel to a park. Mike designed and built the rock pathway behind them - with all the love and care that went into that, it's practically a member of the family so I needed to get it into the shot!

I can't help it - I love "squishing" families!! More "squish" equals more smiles and fun.


Okay - sometimes I make a fool of myself - but then it gives me the best results, like with this picture. I think I said "You all look so mice!" instead of saying "nice" - that seemed to crack them up.

Lastly - how can I resist this shot - a father lovingly giving his daughter a "noogie"!

Family Tree???!!

I wasn't sure this one was going to work - it was very, very dark under this tree - but how could I turn down the request for such a unique picture?!

A stroll through Kubota Gardens...
