What a fun shoot! Little Beckett is so adorable with his soccer ball. I can tell he will be a pro someday.

Nate & Casey | Portraits

A dear friend, Christine Lee Smith, who organizes the Pictage User Group of Long Beach held a photo session the other day with the fantabulous Nate & Casey. Nate & Casey were just awesome to work with and everyone had an amazing time. Below are some of my favorites.

When Aileen and Jonathan told me they wanted to bring their dogs with them for their engagement session, I knew instantly that we were going to have an awesome and fun photo shoot.

Rosie + Matt | Engagement

Gotta love California weather. My session with Rosie and Matt was blessed with some of the most dramatic clouds of late. Add good subjects, and you have the recipe for some sweet shots. Congratulations Rosie and Matt!

Renata, Taylor, Grant and Sophia | Lifestyle

I met with Renata's family really early to have their photos taken, hoping we would have good morning light.  We were met with something even better...a misty California beach.  The soft mist was amazing!  It simplified the color palette and helped me in getting dramatic minimalist images.
