Family Photo Shoot at Fullerton Park, Orange County

I have blogged so many photo shoots at this small park in Fullerton, California! It seems like most of my blogs have been here at this park lately, as I do mini shoot days here every few months and do 6-8 photo shoots back to back in one day. I have shot hundreds of shoots at this small secluded park and I know it now like the back of my hand. It is a great natural setting for family, pregnancy, engagement, and I have even shot many wedding shoots here. The park is rustic and often over grown and there is never anybody there. Enjoy this photo shoot of a long term client, I have shot every member of their family by now over the passed 8 years. Their kids are so stinkin' cute that it was easy to capture great moments. I prefer to shoot candid, although I love stylized shoots too, but my personal style has always been to capture a family in their home or a natural setting and let the kids be themselves and the family sit together and capture what happens when they interact. Makes for great memories and real candid pictures to be cherished for decades to come.

My Family Photoshoot in Boise, Idaho

I am still working hard on a new custom blog, so I apologize for the uncompleted blog but I could not wait anymore to share our families shoot! I love this photoshoot in our backyard right outside of Boise, Idaho. Shot by the talented Kelly Zimmerman with Cherished Images, a link to her website below! Kelly did such a great job creating the reality of our family. I wanted a shoot where our animals could be included and I wanted a few silly shots since that is us, from formal to fun! I will be writing a follow up blog about our new lives in Boise and the difference between the city life and country life. It has been over a year now that our family has relocated and we are really enjoying life here. The first family picture include 2 of our dogs, 2 chickens, and you cannot tell but I am holding one of our teacup piglets. This was not the easiest shoot to pull off, so thanks again Kelly for coming to the house and shooting these for me!

We took my favorite images from the photoshoot and Kelly designed a great Spring card!

Pregnancy Shoot in the Park, Orange County

The longer I shoot weddings, the more I shoot new baby and family shoots! Most of my wedding couples start a family soon after the wedding, and I have gotten to shoot some of my families for 6 years now. Their children look forward to their photoshoots every year, and they are awesome models for me by this point. The shoots actually create tradiotion and family memories, and I get to be apart of that year after year. Love that part!

 Giannina and Aaron wed last year at one of my favorite wedding venues of all time, Calimigos Ranch in Malibu California. I actually made their wedding one of my wedding galleries on my website I liked it so much, I included the link below to see their wedding gallery. It is so fun to start a journey with my couples. Starting before they are married, I had the privilege of shooting their engagement shoot, then their amazing wedding, and now of course their super cute pregnancy shoot. They drove all the way from Las Vegas to Orange County just to do this shoot. I love my loyal clients! Cute detail, the chalkboard used in this pregnancy shoot was the same chalkboard used at their wedding. :)  I can't wait to do a photoshoot with the baby and I will see you guys in June when I shoot your sisters wedding!

Fullerton Wedding at Muckenthaler Mansion

Even though my blog is still under construction, I had to go ahead and blog my recent wedding of Lisa and Daniel shot at the gorgeous Muckenthaler Mansion in Orange County, California. I have to say I loved the simplicity of this wedding the most! Lisa and Daniel decided to keep the guest list small and they had NO bridal party, which is becoming more popular. It really does make for a smooth running day, with no stress, and it is all about the couple. The couple also chose to see each other before the ceremony which has become extremely popular, called the "First Glance." The couple still gets a great moment alone and it takes the pressure off for nervous couples, plus they still get the moment walking down the isle, that moment is not taken away, and many times my brides are still overwhelmed with emotion. Also, more pictures can be done before the ceremony so you are not rushed after the ceremony and make your guests wait so long for pictures, and you have more time to get amazing magazine quality shots! The bridal party, when there is one, and couple actually get to spend the day together and is typically more fun.

This venue, Muckenthaler Mansion, in Fullerton, Ca. is fantastic and unique! As you can see, it is great for romantic shots, the ceremony site is cute and quaint, and the Mansion is old and rustic with a modern artistic splash. Collette's Catering does the best cakes and their food is simply always amazing! Check out the links to see more on this venue and catering. All of the vendors on this list are amazing and I have worked with them for years, you cannot go wrong with any vendor on the list!

 The First Glance is ALWAYS a great moment!

 This couple turned their engagement shoot into a sign in book for all of their guests!

 Every guest gets to see your engagement shoot and write a message that lasts forever!

 

 

This Ceremony site is super cute and perfect at sunset!

 The Setting and Lighting were perfect for Great family pictures!

 Many times couples have children and are a big part of the wedding day!

 I seriously Loved how this couple kisses, I know that sounds weird, but they made my romantic shots look steamy! It is hard to get great kiss shots that couples love!

 

Loved this Father Daughter Dance!
