Merry Christmas and Happy 2011

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. :-)

Guess what Santa brought me this year?

According to Santa, Rudolf  had sore muscles and couldn't carry my big gift (it's giant!), he's going to bring it to me later. ;-)

Engaged: April & Mauricio

I can't really describe how I felt when April emailed me and told me that she wanted me to be her wedding photographer, I was so......HONORED!!!  Just so you know, April herself is a talented photographer, she has an artsy eye for photography...you get the idea how excited I was.  I've known April for quite a while, she's an awesome person to be around.  She's always cheering and is that kind of person you want to be friend with.  We went to the Worldwide Photowalk together this year and had a great time.  April's fiance, Mauricio, is so friendly and humorous.  He sure makes April laugh. ;-)  April and Mauricio are getting married in Old World Village in Huntingtion Beach.  They wanted to have their engagement session taken at the same place, so we did it.  That was my first time shooting at Old World Village, it's such a cute place and I fell in love with it.

Aren't they gorgeous?

LOVE April's beautiful blue eyes!

Thanks so much for the fun time, April and Mauricio!  Can't wait till the wedding in February!!!  :-)

Baby R

This little fellow is sooo cute!  It took us a while to make him asleep, but it was a good turnout. :-)

Engaged: Emily & Max

Emily and Max....where should I start?  They are just so GORGEOUS!  I have to say they're such a beautiful couple.  It was so nice to spend the afternoon with them.  Emily wanted to have nature backgrounds for their engagement photos to match their wedding colors, Huntington Beach Central Park suited the purpose great.  Here are some of my favorite shots of the day:

I really love this shot.  One thing I love about being a photographer is to capture special moments.  Max was trying to take the flower pieces off Emily's hair, I totally saw his gentle care for her....that is love. :-)

Thank you so much for the fun time, Emily and Max.  Can't wait till the wedding in a few weeks. :-)

There are a lot more fun photos from this session, click HERE for the slideshow.

He is such a handsome baby, and he has his mom's smile. :-)  He smiled many times during the shoot...while he was sleeping, what a cute baby!
