Today we have Finn’s first birthday to share with you! This was such a fun party and a great idea for a first birthday with the “Vintage Surfer Boy” theme. This little guy is so cute as you will see in the portraits of our guest of honor. Look at those eyes!!!
You will love all of the details for decor and party favors. Finn’s mom, Jessica put her heart and soul into planning this party and it turned out amazing. We were so happy to share this day with Finn and his family. It was a beautiful day at that, with sunny skies and warm weather in Laguna Beach. Be sure to check out the shot of Finn’s Surf Report…such a cute idea! Jeff and I received our first sunburn of the year that day, but it was totally worth it as we had a great shoot celebrating Finn’s first birthday.
Cheers to you kid!

When Jack and Jessica told us of their wedding at the Newport Beach Tennis Club we were so excited to photograph them. The couple had all of their little details to go with their Tennis Club themed wedding. I loved the color scheme of Black, White and Yellow and the touch of Gray with the guys’ suits!! The couple actually plays tennis together as well as with Jessica’s mom and dad, who play tennis daily at the club. This venue made for a beautiful wedding spot and we loved working with the two and their families. Jack and Jessica were a very fun-loving couple as you will see in all of the moments we captured of their wedding day.
We will play a game of tennis with these two any day… we loved working with them! A special thanks for Jack and Jessica for sharing their special day with us.
Cheers to you both!

Wedding Venue: Newport Beach Tennis Club
The bride arrives in style in this red Porsche as her dad drove her up to the Tennis Club.
Apparently, this was Jeff’s dreams car when he was 14.
I think he has watched the movie “16 candles” way too many times and just wanted to be like Jake Ryan with his Porsche 944!
I joke, I joke… I kid, I kid!
Our Bride, Jessica. Looking stunning!
Our Groom, Jack. Very handsome!
It’s ceremony time on the lawn by the pool!

This is a fun post! Recently, my friend Angie referred me to her friend Melissa who has a daughter who just turned a year old. I got to do Emma’s one year portrait as well as a cake smash of eating her first birthday cake. This little ladies birthday party theme was “pink lemonade”…just absolutely adorable!!! You will love all of the details…cute, cute, cute!!! Emma’s dress with the lemons, her yellow flower head band, the pink lemonade cake, pink birthday hat and the yellow highchair we shot her in as she did her cake smash. Her mom and I had such a fun time collaborating on ideas for the shoot. Here she is…Miss Emma turns one and is having fun!
Love the yellow flower head band!
Such a sweet moment with her older brother…he just loves her!
Emma standing by her grandma’s rocking chair that she had when she was a child!
Every girl needs a 1st birthday hat!

Balloons, cake and more…Emma starts her cake smash!
Enjoying the birthday cake!

Happy Birthday to Emma!

Southern California is a beautiful destination for a wedding. I was once only a visitor to Orange County, California until 13 years ago when I moved here from back east. My family and I visited Laguna Beach for many summers and I always wanted to move here. I dreamed of having an oceanfront wedding here someday and so I did in August 2001 to my hubby Jeff. For many Orange County makes a great vacation destination and for some it even becomes the perfect location for their wedding as it was for Ben and Samantha. Some of my favorite Orange County coastal wedding destinations are in Newport Beach, Corona Del Mar (which is where Jeff and I were married), Laguna Beach, Dana Point and San Clemente.
Samantha had shared with me that her family visited San Clemente three times over the past several years and they love it. The couple hails from Calgary and were so excited to get married on the beach near San Clemente Pier. It was a gorgeous April day at the beach when I met up with Ben and Samantha! Sam mentioned that when they left Canada, they were expecting a snow fall, but it was almost 70 degrees on their wedding day! This is one of the reasons why I wanted to move here as it is April and we have some days where we can actually be hanging out at the beach already.
We loved working with these two…they were so happy to be married and had some very loving moments. A big congratulations to Ben and Samantha…cheers to you both! J+D
