Jennifer and Rick began their love story at the happiest place on Earth – Disneyland! Rick had arranged for one of the cartoon artists to create a “Will you marry me” drawing and as they sat there, Jen didn’t suspect a thing. Sure, as people were walking by they were grinning extra large at them (since they could see the drawing), but she had no idea. When the artist turned it around for Jen to see, Rick got down on one knee and proposed. She said yes, of course ;)
Jen and Rick got married at the St. Margaret Mary Parish in Chino and then we headed over to the Royal Vista Golf Club in the city of Walnut for the reception. I loved, loved, loved their entire bridal party – everyone was so genuine and fun! The guests enjoyed a photobooth, a candy bar, great music, and tons of great food. The entire wedding was truly a joy to photograph. Just like Jen and Rick, it was super laid back and “go with the flow” and I felt right at home!
Jen had this little coin taped to the inside of her shoe. Love!


Jen’s twin nieces made for fun little photo subjects and they obviously adore their aunt!


Uh-oh…bridezilla alert! Or not ;)










































…and a big thank you to my 2nd photographer, Anita! Couldn’t have done it without you, chick!
I found this beautiful little spot hidden in the hills of Diamond Bar and knew that I wanted to take a family there. The sun coming over the hill plus the tall, soft grass gives me a simple background that allows us to focus on the most important subject – the family! I photograph a lot of 2 year olds, which most photographers will confess is their hardest type of client. For me? Nah, I love them. You just have to embrace the fact that you have to keep them entertained – they cannot be bored for a single moment. You have to play with them, laugh with them, or give them a task. If you can do that, you are rewarded with giant smiles, laughs, and all of the other sweet expressions of a carefree 2 year old.


“You guys…seriously?” haha
