Jessica | Los Rios Street Photographer

Jessica is my friend Dawns beautiful daughter, Dawn and I have been friends for almost 30 years!  Most girls are a little intimidated being in front of the camera, not Jessica, she loves to have her picture taken...works out great for me because I love to shoot!  I'm sure we will be seeing more of Jessica on the blog I have a few ideas and can't wait to try them out with her! 
A fun fact about Jessica, her grandfather was born on Los Rios street in San Juan where we shot these!  

Tori Johnson | Irvine Senior Photographer

I have known this little spitfire since she was born!  I couldn't believe she was graduating when her mom contacted me for Senior Photos.  I still see little 6 year old Tori playing at the beach, not 18 year old Tori all grown up!  Amazing how fast time goes by.  She will be going off soon to Culinary Institute of America in New York for Baking and Pastry Arts!  Oh, and she loves theatre arts so I'm sure she will be auditioning for a show or two while she is in New York...

 I had SO much fun with Tori on her shoot.  I love her playful nature and zeal for life!  I had never done a session at this location and there were so many fun spots and I had a willing party to shoot, so off we went.  Two and half hours and 614 images later we were finally done.  Wow!  

Thank you Tori I had so much fun!

We had fun doing some model poses....

She cracks me up!

I these sweet shots in the clover and the one with her mom is so them....

 If you know Tori the one on the bench is all her....NOT!!!

THis is Tori....attitude and all!

She even does a good test shot....

As we started to set up for another pose I spied a dandelion so we HAD to do this...

This is one of my favorites...

 And another favorite....

 Her moms favorite...

This girl doesn't take a bad photo!

Jake | San Juan Capistrano Senior Photographer

Jake graduated this week from Tesoro High School!  I am so proud of Jake for accomplishing his goal of going to Annapolis Naval Academy!  Jake has wanted to be a Navy Seal since he was just a little guy and is well on his way to achieving that goal also!  Not only is he going to Annapolis but he is going with a full ride scholarship for water polo!!!  Way to go Jake!!!
I met Jake and his sister Emma when they were in my pre-school Sunday School class years ago.  I love these kids so much they were the sweetest kids and still are!  He is also the best big brother any girl could ever have.  I will always remember him not wanting to move up to the next level in Sunday school and leave his sister behind...and we let him stay until she moved up too.  So sweet to see such a great sibling relationship!
This guy has an amazing future ahead of him...Congratulations Jake!!!
