Los Angeles and Orange County Portrait and Wedding Photographer

WELCOME!

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ME...

I dance with all my might when I know no one's watching.
I love country music, and currently am LOVING the Ed Sheeran + Sara Bareilles stations on Pandora!
Outdoorsy activities make me happy. The warm and fuzzy kind of happy :D
I am a sucker for furry animals and cute old people. No, really. I am.
Pizza.
I love, love snowboarding. Seriously. Like I REALLY LOVE snowboarding.
I love chatting it up with creative minds.
If I could, I would travel the world with a suitcase full of lenses and my camera, and learn every language I possibly can.

Rustic Elegance : Britni and Mathias

Had the most amazing time at this Photographers Shootout! Major thanks to the SoCal Photog Glam Squad (vendors, models, leaders and all!) for all your awesomeness! The best part, though, is seeing all the other photographers’ sets of images and realizing how different theirs is from mine, just because we have different set of eyes and we view the beauty of each moment soooo differently. So bizarrely cool!

Anyway, there were more couples from this shootout, so definitely more images to come!
But for now…introducing Britni and Mathias…

Inspired Shoot : Rustic Elegance

I had the privilege to participate in a SoCal Photographers’ Shootout a week-ish ago, down in the beautiful Laguna Beach. I think of all the places, I heart Laguna the most. There’s something about the clean air, by the beach, artist-driven city that brings me an overwhelming feeling of peacefulness. Ok, so parking is nuts, but the place is gorgeous! If anyone ever wants to do a photo shoot down in Laguna, I’m game! ;)

Big, ginormous THANKS to all the leaders, stylists, artists and vendors for your skills, talents, time and effort! Y’all ROCK!!!

Playdate Fun

I had the most fun getting attacked by water and bubbles during this Playdate Fun Session with these 7 incredibly adorable kiddos! Ok, so I was just a tad bit concerned how my camera would do in such wet conditions, but my camera survived the water battle (plus, I wasn’t “too” worried” since I have insurance!! Thank God for insurance! Lol!). Thanks so much, Shays, Yus, Suns and Emanuellis, for the Playdate Fun!! I had A BLAST!! :D

And here are more images from this “Playdate Fun!” ;)

Fun in the Sun

This Family Session with the Tungs was so much fun! But my absolute favorite part was when Aaden hugged Ava and Ava winked at the camera. Oh wait, I have another favorite moment. lol. It was also when Aaden and Ava chased after the bubbles. Oh! AND when Ava “posed” for me every time she blew a bubble. AND when Aaden insisted on chasing after each bubble and popping them all. AND when Ava showed me her pretend-mad look/pose (with a smile). AND…I know, I know, I said “absolute favorite” but ended up listing way more. But seriously, such a fun family. AND did I mention that Lamy and Ted have mad parenting skills? They are awesome! Lamy and Ted: teach me thy ways! :)

Enjoy this full slideshow of the Tung Family Session: Fun in the Sun

Oh my goodness, I can’t believe how fast Lauryn is growing up! I know it’s only been 3 months-ish, since Lauryn’s 6-month-old session, but oh my, how Lauryn has grown!

Liz, Ed and sweet Lauryn, it’s always a joy photographing your family! I’m anxious to see Lauryn at 12 months. We are going to have a blast! Hugs!
