The Wedding Pantry | Tustin Wedding Photographer

Such an exciting week this has been! I had an awesome opportunity to have an office in a beautiful wedding boutique in Old Town Tustin, The Wedding Pantry. So now I can meet with clients for in person proofing and brides that come for consults can do some shopping while we meet! I am so excited and hope everyone can come visit and see my new space.
The Wedding Pantry had their holiday bliss boutique this Saturday and I was able to be there and meet so many wonderful vendors that have great items and gifts.

Pumpkin Patch | La Mirada Family Photographer | Tanaka Farms

It’s an annual tradition for us to visit Tanaka Farms in Irvine and check out the pumpkin patch. The kids look forward to it and I love seeing how excited they get. If you live in the area you should check it out!



This is pretty much how most pictures end up when I try and get all 3 kids together (and yes, my oldest is trying to shoot himself in the head)

A week of firsts | La Mirada Child Photographer

After having 2 boys it was inevitable that when I did have my daughter I would be putting her in ballet.  I have been waiting for this day and she was too.  We went out and got the leotard, ballet skirt, tights and ballet shoes (I drew the line at a tiara).  When today arrived she was so excited.  She pretty much chattered through the entire thing, ran all around and hung on the ballet bar but she had the best time.  She is usually all around boys and ends up playing whatever they want so it was fun to watch her giggling and being a princess with the other girls.  Earlier this week she started a little pre-school program so this has been a big week for her.  And an even bigger one for me.

My own with a new lens | La Mirada Child Photographer

I have a few weddings coming up in the next couple of weeks so I rented a new lens to play with.  Since my boys are at an age where they are fairly uncooperative I took my daughter out to practice.  She is starting to dread my camera coming out but she isn’t quite there yet so I can usually get her to sit for a few minutes.  She will be starting preschool this week and when I look at these pictures I just can’t believe how quickly she has grown.

I had to throw in a cool macro shot of a dragonfly that landed on my porch.  My middle son found it and was fascinated by how big it was.  Through my picture he was able to see it up close and magnified and that provided hours of questions about insects and a fun learning opportunity.
