A Little Whimsy For Your Week.. {Southern California Child Photographer}

Oh goodness.... Sweet, sweet, Rylan. As much whimsy as these photos hold for me is as much fun and whimsy that we had together. This is my cousin's little girl and I got to take her out for a little mini session while visiting my Nanny recently. She has so much sparkle and light that it's so fun to be around her. Even while editing I couldn't help but smiling the whole time remembering the day. I already can't wait until next time. We did all these set-ups in about 30 minutes. That's how fun she was. Don't get me wrong, there definitely was some bribery jelly beans in the mix but boy did they work! I love you guys! I hope you enjoy these as much as I did making them! xoxo

Chris and Rachel Steiman {Orange County Wedding Photographer}

I met Rachel and Chris one cold afternoon last Winter at a sweet little coffee shop in Big Bear to talk about their engagement and their future wedding date. Wayyyyy in the future wedding date.. a whole year! She was on the ball when it came to planning and I loved it! I got to see them a few months later to do their engagement session and we had tons of fun at different locations on the mountain. I honestly cannot believe that their wedding day came so fast. But it did and it was beautiful! The day was not without it's challenges, some i saw and I'm sure, many that I didn't see. But the biggest one on my mind was the threat of rain! Really!? C'mon!! But guess what, rain never came. It sure did threaten to though. The sky was gray and moist but not one drop of rain fell on their beautiful day. I loved the hustle of the day. The fun bridal party girls were full of energy and spunk. (girls, don't be mad at me for the funny faces! I couldn't resist sharing your spirit!) The guys were cool and calm, just hanging out for the day to start. We tried not to get ran over by some impatient city drivers who really didn't like us in the street. But we had to get the shot! And we did. I loved Rachel's Dad. He disliked his photo taken and I really enjoyed catching him off guard. It was like a friendly game of cat and mouse. He was a good sport about it. I was enchanted with the small and charming grounds of the French Estate in Orange County. There were little bits of love in the details all over. And Rachel and her team really did a beautiful job of making those small things important. So pretty! So with a huge thanks to the Steimans for being patient with me over the Holiday craziness, and without further adieu.... here is your sneak peek! Love you guys!

Cinderella Couture {Orange County Beach Photo Session}

I love this couple! I photographed their wedding on September 17th, 2011. Then I got to see them again a few months ago for their Mom and Dad's family session. We decided to take advantage of the trip down to Orange County so we also shot their Cinderella Couture session on the same day. It was a tight schedule but we made it work. The sun was nowhere to be found but still it was a beautiful day. I think even cave light would be beautiful on these two. Just look at how he looks at her...pure love. It was a good thing we were able to shoot this because as it turns out these two love birds will be pushing a baby carriage soon! Yay! Congrats to the both of you! I heart you guys and hope to see again soon! xoxo Rebecca
