Amanda and KwangHyun live in Seoul, South Korea but had their Wedding here in Southern California at her parents home. We did their engagement photos just a few days before their Wedding, since they were both here for only a short time. They are not only a beautiful couple, but two of the sweetest people I’ve met. I’ll be sharing the Wedding pics soon!
Yep, the Holidays are right around the corner. I was just gathering a few images for this post, and I can’t believe how fast this year flew by. I photograph quite a few of the same families every year, and its so amazing to see kids grow and to meet the new additions.
From now until the end of November my family portrait sessions are $350, this includes 1-2 hours in a beautiful outdoor setting, a DVD of the edited images, and 25 holiday cards. Book soon to ensure your prints or cards will arrive before the Holidays. I can’t wait to see you!

Truckee, California, amazing.
Louie and I drove up the day before, it was such serene drive, no traffic, lots of good music, and new places to see. We stayed in the most gorgeous house that overlooked a meadow, which was also the ceremony site. The weather was crazy that day, it was cold, but not uncomfortable, and the clouds kept moving and changing, perfect for photos. Corrina made her own Wedding dress, you can read her blog about her process HERE. And if you didn’t see their engagement photos, check em out HERE. They are some of my favorites, maybe because Corrina is one of my dearest friends, or maybe because it was in the courtyard of her parents house in Joshua Tree (so many memories there!)
The Wedding day…
My favorite instagram photos.
I’ve been working on a lot of fun projects the last few months, including this one with talented stylist Alicia Buszczak. Its been a busy Summer, and because of that I’ve neglected my blog, check back soon, I have some beautiful Weddings to share.
It was a magical day with clouds to match. 
Such a sweet family! And I love that the boys insisted on wearing their Batman capes for a few shots…
Here’s a sneak peek of a project I’ve been working on, can’t wait to share the the whole series. Styling by Alicia Buszczak makeup and hair by Brittany Lauren Woodside.
I’m really excited to share the photos from Hailey’s room makeover. We have been working hard for the last few weeks, pulling all the ideas together and making it happen! I haven’t had much time to blog, I’ve been shooting so much, and working on this special project. For those of you who don’t know, Hailey is my very beautiful 16 year old niece. She and her Dad recently moved into a new place, and since she’s never really had a typically decorated girls room, I thought it was time! She’s doing really well in school, and I thought she deserved a nice space to feel inspired, to hang out with her friends, and most importantly have a great area to study in.
A lot of really amazing people helped us pull this all together, a special thanks to Lew Robertson (photographer) he took all the amazing pics Alicia Buszczak (stylist), Chrissy Cassidy (photographer), Alicia Peterson (photographer), Jennifer Bachelder (for the amazing cake), my cousin Amy for all the vintage frames, and Jack for helping us pull apart all the wood pallets to make the headboard and pinboard.
It all started with my pinterest board, which you can see HERE. Hailey and I came up with the color scheme together, gray and yellow.
Here is her room before
And here it is after!
We painted three walls a light gray and decided on one wall to be chalkboard (Alicia B’s idea!)
Here is Hailey and her friends getting to work!
Some details of her new desk area. A lot of people have been asking me about the feather wall decal, you can find this at BLIK. Alicia P was very patient and did a great job with this.
Alicia Buszczak is one of the most talented people I know, and she donated her time to this project. She came up with so many of the homemade things you see in the room. You can see some of the step by step tutorials on my pinterest, like the BUTTON ART, so cute!
All of the illustrations you see in the room came from Everything Etsy, there’s a huge list of free downloadable prints!

When I graduated college and started working in the photography field, I did pretty much every job you can imagine, I worked in photo darkrooms developing film and making prints, I worked at cheesy portrait studios doing family and senior portraits, I assisted commercial photographers (one of the hardest jobs ever), I was a photographer at Lisa Frank doing their catalog and print work, I was the staff photographer at College Times, working on fashion spreads and occasional cover art (one of the best jobs ever), I’ve worked as a retoucher, a photo editor, and still do art directing on a freelance basis. All of these jobs have taught me so many valuable skills, and have made me the photographer I am today. I was thinking about all of this while I was preparing Cheyenne’s portraits for my blog. I am so thankful for all of these experiences, and I’m still completely obsessed with photography, even after all these years.
Now onto Cheyenne! It was so much fun preparing for this shoot, Cheyenne is an aspiring photographer and writer, and she had a ton of ideas. I wish I had taken a behind the scenes shot so you could see the mess we created together. It was just the two of us, and we lugged wardrobe, props and camera gear down this really long trail, we even brought spiders home with us. For all that work, I think we got some pretty awesome shots.
What beautiful details! It’s wonderful Steph!
