When you gather a growing modern family as big as a village of Timbuktu, you will experience nothing short of wackiness, wildness, smiles and love. This is my second shoot with the Boyer Family and I must say, observing the intricate interactions between this closely knit family truly delights me. Mom, Jennie, and Dad, Michael, still look stunning amidst having to stay focused in front of the camera while occasionally having to glance over to check on the kids. Austin, the tweenager, is maturing into a handsome heart throb – watch out girls! Wyatt, the Jennie-look-alike, is no longer a toddler but a playful and loving boy – he loves the camera! The triplets, Violet, Oliver and Jasmin, can now walk and have unique personalities of their own, which means they know what they want or don’t want – and like all kids, they don’t like to sit still! There’s just something about kids, perhaps it’s their innocence and plump cheeks, but when they smile, it just lights up the universe. The Boyers definitely make a beautiful and happy family and I’m sure everyone would agree! Thanks the Boyer Family for an awesome shoot! :)

I vividly remember the first time I met Sara and Abdel because they were a mirror image of my husband and I when we were first engaged. They have a clear picture of exactly what they want from start to finish and are whole-heartedly thrilled to carry out their dream wedding. I LOVE that about them! This is what I call commitment and passion!
I spent a wonderful afternoon with the beautiful couple and couldn’t have asked for a better engagement shoot. Sara’s wardrobe was fit for a queen! From head to toe, she was adorned with lavishly gorgeous gowns and quaint jewelry. I was excited and amazed with every outfit change and just when I thought the apex was reached, she continued to dazzle me further with more extravagant looks. You’re going to have to trust me on this (literally) because most of the pictures are private and for their eyes only. However, Sara and Abdel were kind enough to give me a short period to shoot public shots to showcase on my blog (by agreeing to this and out of respect to her faith traditions, she graciously had to cover her head with a scarf).
Thanks Sara and Adbel for a delightful shoot and I look forward to your magical wedding in January!
Fireman meets Nurse = Future Mr. and Mrs. Schumachers! Besides putting out fires and saving lives, the dynamic duo have a passion for classic cars. When Jocelynn suggested using cars in their engagement shoot, I was floored with excitement. I mean come on now, what can be sexier than gorgeous people posing in front of classic cars? This 1964 Ford Galaxie Station Wagon is a restoration project so if you notice, Pete is sporting a jumpsuit! Talk about playing the role! What a fun shoot and thanks Jocelynn and Pete for being such great models.
I am so excited to share this next post. I have been itching to finish this since returning from vacation last week. Now that I’m finally done, I gleefully present to you Jocelynn and Pete, who are set to tie the knot in January of next year.
For those that do not know, my friends like to call me “V-Harmony” because I am always trying to play match maker. I may not have a winning track record but I will continue to play cupid in hopes of finding love for my friends just like how Jocelynn and Pete found each other. They of course met through a more successful well known avenue known as “E-Harmony”. I am a sucker for love stories so I was all ears when they told me how they met.
Jocelynn who dislikes the dating scene heeded and followed the footsteps of her coworkers and decided to join the more contemporary trend of online dating. Her online stint was very short lived as destiny took its course because the first guy that she met was…yes you guessed it! Pete!
Pete was instantly drawn to Jocelynn on their first date at Walt’s Wharf in Seal Beach. What swept Jocelynn off her feet was the long conversation they shared while strolling down the pier. It did not take them long to realize that they shared many of the same interests and background growing up. Two years and 2 months later while watching the sunrise, Pete proposed on top of the Haleakala Crater in Maui! This brings us to this moment! 
With both being separated from past relationships, it’s truly an inspiration and blessing to see them get another chance at love, marriage and happiness! Stay Tuned for PART II!!!
I met the bride, Carmen, at Thao and Paul’s wedding not too long ago and was totally stoked when she asked me to capture her beautiful day! It was my first time at the OC Mining Company and it definitely will not be my last… The cozy and intimate venue offered an amazingly breathtaking view, which made for the perfect backdrop for a romantic evening.
It was a delight photographing Carmen and Scott as they joyously celebrated their love. They were relaxed yet playful, calm yet energetic, and poised yet candid, which further accentuated the already picturesque setting. The evening begun with a heartfelt ceremony led by Scott’s son and Carmen’s daughter as they both respectively welcomed and united the two families. Not surprisingly, the evening followed with endless laughter and culminated in unforgettable memories. Congratulations to the perfect match and to their wonderful future ahead!
