The Lokkers are such a sweet family and I have such a fun time photographing their family as it grows! The little ones have gotten bigger and there’s another baby on board! They also do a killer job of coordinating outfits without being too matchy matchy or totally out there!
Get ready for the OC fair! It’s legit one of the best places to do photos, whether it’s family or engagement photos. It was a somewhat crowded day, but we were able to find pockets of space for photos and most people were nice enough to walk around us. We did our best to be out of the way though because I hate “putting on a show” or being in the way. Let’s go run around the fair though! Hit me upppp!
Erika and Mike wanted some updated photos in their temporary Riverside home & since they have a podcast, we focused a little on those shots. They needed an updated cover for their podcast plus some lifestyle shots for Erika, which turned out so cute and fun! Pro trip: make those photos feel like YOU! The whole point of an engagement or couple’s session is to make it feel like you, so if you’re homebodies, let’s take photos in your home. If you hike a lot, let’s go hike at one of your favorite trails! Erika and Mike truly made this shoot feel like them, which made for even better photos!!
Diem and Khang love hiking and rad spots like this, so it only made sense to do engagement/bridal photos in one of their favorite hiking trails. They scoped 3 spots before choosing this trail - hollllla doing all the work for me haha! Diem even hiked this in heels!! I was struggling to not fall in sneakers, so major props to this girl!!
I am a huge fan of family sessions like this sweet family session at Castaways Park in Newport Beach. We let the kids run wild, but also were able to get those posed family shots. I want the fun, real, and candid moments rather than super posed. Pro tip: kids have energy, so let ‘em be free and get all that energy out. I don’t mind running around and snapping photos the entire time. I’d rather that than crying kiddos or random tantrums because they’re over it and want to play.
Capture real, raw moments.
