Las Vegas Family Session

Meet the Popes, whom I originally met in California, before they moved to Las Vegas. Would you believe Julie and Kenny have been married for almost 20 years?! These two have walked through the fire of life together, are still in love, growing strong, and have formed a beautiful family. It is always a pleasure to catch up with them, which happens every once in a while as they live in Vegas. This year they asked me to take their 2013 family portrait. We did some family pix and then some couples pix in honor of their upcoming wedding anniversary. Here are some of our faves. Enjoy:)

Laguna Beach Family Session

This session showcases the gorgeous California coastline and the beautiful Suarez family! It was a privilege to meet up with them for a sunset family/anniversary shoot! Alex and Norma just celebrated 15 years of marriage (2011). Congrats you two! Here’s to another 15 years together and beyond!

Orange County Family Session

I worked with children at a Child Development Center for 6 years. Being surrounded by little ones has taught me so much about myself, relating to others, and life in general. I am endlessly amazed at children’s ability to love and forgive freely. Their creativity and spontaneity is absolutely refreshing! It was great getting together with Becky and her boys to photographically welcome Baby Sami (2011) into the beautiful bright world! It was especially fun getting silly with big brother Zain. Much love to your family!

Lakewood, CA Family Session

There is a gem of a park in Lakewood, CA called Monte Verde Park. It is available to rent for special occasions and portrait sessions and has a wonderful green space beside it. It was here that I gathered with the Araiza family for the first of several family photo sessions. Theirs is the only family that I currently accept extended family session booking for. Here is a little piece of history.
