Back to School at Rascals to Rebels [Orange County Child Photographer]

July 27, 2010 – 2:13 am

I’ve never liked school pictures.  I didn’t like them when I was elementary school and I still don’t like them now that my kids are in elementary school!  That crinkly blue background with the cheesy pose isn’t worth spending money on!!  SO, I’ve come up with the perfect solution.  I buy the class picture as [...]

Tzatziki [Personal Musings]

July 26, 2010 – 12:39 pm

Even though our southern californian summer has mainly been overcast, it hasn’t stopped us from grilling and eating plenty of summer-inspired cuisine!
Right now I’m a little obsessed with tzatziki!  It’s great for dipping just about anything.  I love pita, vegetables and it’s a great condiment for kabobs.

This recipe is adapted from Smitten Kitchen, which was [...]

Six [Irvine Children's Photographer]

July 21, 2010 – 12:47 am

With a promise of frozen yogurt and 30 minutes until sundown, I sped down the 405 to check out a new location.  My schedule is jam packed this week, so I didn’t have time to spare, but I needed to make sure this place was as cool as I remembered it when I drove by [...]

Another year older [Long Beach Family Photographer]

July 19, 2010 – 12:24 am

I love the familiarity of photographing families every year.  It makes me feel like part of their family.  I love how the kids grow, the families grow…and I get to help them document every step.
The Wong family grew by another member since last year.  This little guy is now a big brother.

Here’s the newest addition…and [...]

Hume Lake [Personal Musings]

July 14, 2010 – 8:19 pm

Today we spent the afternoon on the lake.  The goal is to make it to the big rock so the kids can jump off.  We rented a boat and a paddle board to get this family of five out to the big rock.
Jake wanted to take the paddleboard and I think the fact that he [...]

Time Flies [Orange County Senior Photographer]

July 14, 2010 – 1:25 am

I’m out of town this week and my life has slowed down enough for me to reflect on the first month of summer.  We’ve filled it with play dates, afternoons of reading favorite childhood books and special baking projects…and it’s not even half way over.  When my schedule gets full it’s hard for me to [...]

All about Perspective [Orange County Child Photographer]

July 7, 2010 – 8:18 pm

I’m a huge fan of children looking up and into the camera.  Normally I like to get on their level and make the viewer delve into their world.  But, every once in awhile, eyes up directs the light flawlessly into their face.  It captures every freckle, eyelash and twinkle.  Forever.

On this shot, angle is everything.  [...]

Zucchini Madness [Personal Musings]

July 5, 2010 – 12:59 am

We are going to Montana in August…visiting ‘Grandma and Grandpa that live on the farm.’  It’s not much of a farm, but it is a nice spot of land in the middle of nowhere.  And by nowhere, I mean 7 miles outside of a town that boasts a population of 2,000.
My parents may not have [...]
