I’m excited to announce that I have a new in home studio! It’s not very big, but Im very proud of it! I bought a baseboard, some cheap flooring, and different fabrics or the backdrop, and voila! Gregory was my first baby model and it went so well. I’m really hoping to build up my baby clientele so we’ll see where this goes.

Brian & Cheryl Brodersen

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of photographing Brian & Cheryl Brodersen of Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa for their headshots…again! Remember last years shoot? This year we went for a different look and chose to shoot at Portola (aka, Brian’s favorite hangout) If your in the Orange County area, definitely take the time to check it out. Its not the kind of place where you can just ask for a “regular drip coffee”… they look at you kind of funny if you try to go that route. If you like your coffee ‘just so’, and know the difference between a pour over, trifecta, and a halogen siphon bar, then this place is screaming your name. It was too crowded inside to get any good shots so we wandered around outside and were still able to capture some great moments.

Promotional Add

The theme for this year’s Women’s Retreat at Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa is “Answer the Call”. I was asked to take a few promo pictures for the event website, and when I remembered that one of my co-workers collects classic phones, I knew we had to use them. We ended up putting this together last minute in the warehouse at church and I’m thrilled with the way it all turned out.

Christmas Card!

I must say, that I am very proud of our Christmas spirit this year. The first year we were married, we decked out every inch of the apartment with garland and all sorts of Christmas decorations. I also managed to get our home made Christmas card {photo} out in a decent amount of time. Last year.. was a different story. Some time got away from us and we completely missed putting up our tree and definitely didn’t get our Christmas cards out in time. They turned into Happy New Year cards, but even then, I think only our immediate family and a few friends were privileged to see those. This year, I think we are making a come back. Our tree has been up for a few weeks (however not quite decorated yet), I am hosting a girls cookie decorating party with our youth group kids from church, and I am in the process of getting our Christmas cards out! Yay, us!

I should probably add that this is the first year we have taken a CHRISTMAS picture instead of picking something that was relevant from the previous six months.We set up the tripod and took some quick pictures when we were up in the mountains for Thanksgiving, and I love the way they turned out. I feel like the describe us perfectly.. especially the one we chose for our Christmas card. Merry Christmas!

Liewer Family

The Liewers are some of the funniest people you might possibly ever meet. When I met them a few years ago, Evan was on staff at a local church in south county and now they are missionaries in Roatan! Roatan is a small island off of Honduras, and pretty much looks like a small taste of paradise. If you want to find out more about their crazy adventures check out their website here!
