molly & cody get engaged!
I was so excited to photograph this gorgeous couple’s proposal/engagement! Molly’s mom contacted me and put me in touch with Cody. We worked out the details of the surprise (complete with map). I even parked on a street a few blocks away since my car is very identifyable and I didn’t want to ruin the surprise! Oddly enough, my EXACT car was parked down the block from the beach entrance- what are the odds??-but at least it wasn’t mine! I hid behind a bunch of volleyball players until Cody was down at the water with Molly and got on bended knee. Of course she said YES! A bunch of family met them down on the beach to celebrate and then there was a big (surprise. To Molly.) engagement party back at their home. It all went off without a hitch. I am so happy for them and know they’ll be so happy together!

juliana/sacred heart preprom party
There were about a zillion (give or take) kids at this preprom party, hosted by my friends Carolyn & Jim. I have to say the kids were all super polite, well mannered and kind. They also looked spectacular! A lot of the kids have been my clients & friends for years, so it was great catching up and seeing them all dressed up. And the backyard was done to the 9s! (if you know the Biv’s, this will not come as a surprise to you at all!). Great work by Daniel on the balloons and decor as always- he’s an artist! I hope they all had a great time at the prom and can’t wait to watch them all flourish in their next adventures!

liz & charles get married- part 3 {the ceremony & after party}
Their ceremony was so lovely and was performed by a cousin who is also clergy (so it was all legal and stuff). Their vows to each other were beautiful and there wasn’t a dry eye on the beach. They hit up the Allegria Hotel afterwards for some drinks and dancing. Pretty much a perfect “elopement”, locally! Wishing them many years of happiness!

liz & charles get married {part 1- couple portraits}
A brand new to me couple/family that was referred thru RVC Moms (so thanks to everyone who put my name in!) that did the most fun and comprehensive shoot, ever. It was a couples session, a family session, a maternity session, an engagement session and a wedding session all rolled into one happy day! They obviously have a lot to celebrate!! We shot between the (unforcasted!) raindrops on the beach in Long Beach and the weather held out just enough for us to get our pictures in. So many great moments, it’s definitely going to have to be at least a 2-3 part post.
