I love Leo Carrillo Beach in Malibu because of the variety of landscape in one area. The grassy fields, flowers, trees, cliffs and beach make the perfect backdrop for a portrait session. Jerilynn and Ryan and I had a great time exploring the landscape while documenting her beautiful pregnancy. Then we all got a little wet at the end! OK, really wet! Here are some of my favorites from this natural and romantic outdoor maternity session at the beach in Malibu.

Ferry and Irene are having there wedding in their home country of Indonesia in June. I am so excited for them, but it must be so hard to plan a wedding that far away! I got married in San Diego and that was difficult at times! :) This stylish and adorable couple was really fun to work with and I am very happy with their images. After an adventure of very strict rules at Gardens of the World, we decided to head down the road to Paramount Ranch. With my new permit in hand, I just fell in love with this location. It is now my new favorite place!! The mixture of vintage editing and the couple’s modern style make this engagement session one of my favorites!

Lesli and Nam are clients of mine from 2008. They flew in from Denver for the weekend and made time to come see me for a session with Holden! Unfortunately Holden’s first weekend of air travel and family visits combined with a photo session, was not very appealing to him! He was very upset for most of our session, but we did manage to get some good shots! Here are a few of my favorites…

The timeline of your wedding day is one of the most important and overlooked elements of your planning. With my clients I like to help any way I can to determine it if they aren’t using a coordinator because it is absolutely crucial to having things go the way you want them to. The timeline includes everything from when you wake up that morning until you get to your Honeymoon Suite that night!! You may feel that you want your day to be relaxed and not plan every minute of it, but I can tell you from experience that you will actually be much more relaxed if you plan everything out properly from beginning to end. If you need any help or tips about what takes how long…etc. please feel free to ask me. I also have some wonderful coordinators that can be there for you every step of the way, or just on the day to make sure you can be relaxed and really enjoy your wedding day. After all, that is the idea, right? :)
