2010

I am wanting to wish ALL of you, my past clients, my friends, my family a Happy New Year....2010.

Thank you, for all those who has supported me with my Photography Journey. I am having SO much fun, trying out new things. I have recently found a NEW love, and that is shooting for a Lingerie Designer. I will be posting up some shots from the shoot, soon enough. Look out for the Spring Catalog later in 2010.

I have been blessed with ALL the work that 2009 has brought to me...and only looking forward to what 2010 holds for POSE.

Be safe out there....and PLEASE DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE...do NOT be responsible for a LIFE lossed.

Ahhhh.....Santa is here in town!!!!

So today, was my 2nd Annual Santa Shoot. It started out slow, then a little busy, then slow again. I volunteer my time for this 4 hour gig hoping to meet some really nice families or perhaps someone who might be getting married. Sigh, not this time around. So, try again....until then enjoy the few that I have posted up..

To the Brides and Grooms!!!

First of all, thank you for visiting my Blog Spot. Second of all, congrats on your Engagement. Now time for work, huh? Well, I hope I can earn your business, to be allowed to be present during your Wedding, as the Photographer. Please view Oct 2008and Nov 2008 for the Weddings that I did shoot. Please feel free to view my Portraits as well, and I hope that you can see, I shoot from the HEART.

Trash the Dress: MSNBC News

Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy

So if you are in the Orange County or Los Angeles area, let's get CREATIVE and do a Trash the Dress Session.

Diego is 2

Meet Diego. I had to pleasure to spend a couple of hours, at Pirates Cove Beach with him on Saturday. Diego was SO ... SO excited to RUN around in the sand. And that is what he did majority of the shoot....therefore I RAN around, at first. Then I got smart and said I will just wait for him to head my direction and snap some ACTION shots....laughing...I also said to myself, he just has to get tired soon. Yeah right!!!!

Bridal Photoshoot

[ABOVE] Meet Melissa. Isn't she just so pretty? Btw, she is SINGLE. She was such a pleasure to work with during this Bridal Photoshoot. Because she was the 3rd Model of the day, it was pretty hot, but she just went along with all the shots that needed to be taken. Such a natural in front of the camera, isn't she?

[ABOVE] Meet Maria. If you need help with FASHION, she is the one to help out. She isn't afraid of it. Maria was also a pleasure to work with. She is so sweet to talk to, but also she is funny and can got us laughing after a story that her and Jessica was remembering about.

[ABOVE] Meet Lisa. She is a Massage Therapist on the weekends, but she said after talking to me and hearing about my Journey into Photography, she got INSPIRED. I was starting to tear up...cuz that was so nice to hear...making a positive impact on someone especially stranger. Lisa is such a sweet person, and such a positive attitude about life.

[ABOVE] Awww...finally, Ashley. She was our Vintage look. Ashly was SO easy to ask to Pose. This last shot, I got down on the ground of the parking lot and she couldn't believe I did what I had to do in order to get this shot.

Pardon the Long time NO blogging

I am so sorry that I have NOT blogged in weeks. August was a BUSY month for me. My youngest daughter turned 5 years old. She started Kinder....and then my eldest started High School....we had a Michael Jackson Theme party that we had to put together in ONE week...yikes!!!

Please come back, as soon as things calms down, I will post up more pictures from the Bridal Photoshoot.

Thank you for your patience.

So, we got to get away for a few days, off to Las Vegas one weekend, a few months ago. These two are my favorites shots I took during that MINI vacation. I use to live in Vegas, for TWO years until my husband chased me down, and moved back to CA. Lots has changed since the last time I was there, which was back in 2002.

Lyanna - Yorba Linda Regional Park

Meet my youngest daughter, Lyanna. Today was such a BEAUTIFUL day therefore I asked both my daughters [my eldest is a TEENager, she won't get in front of MY camera] to go to the park....I did a mini session with Lyanan cuz I found these two dresses the other day. I wanted to practice with LIGHT.....I have ONE more to reveal tomorrow cuz Lyanna wants to go NITE NITE now...ugh!!!!

Just ONE more of Gaita

Ok...well, I just couldn't help myself, but to POST this one last "favorite" of mine. I was playing around with the "texture" and added it, what do you think? This photoshoot was SO much fun just like her Trash the Dress session that I had a couple of months ago. Hopefully she will try out for America's Top Model next year, if so, Good Luck to her [not that she will need it]. Thank you Gaita for another FUN Photoshoot with YOU....

Gaita: Headshots and Senior [Class of 2009]

You probably remember Gaita from her Trash the Dress session with me. She called me up and asked for some HEADSHOTS cuz she wanted to try out for the next movie of Twilight. I couldn't resist, but to ask "could we do some of her Senior pictures for her.....
We met at Brea, Carbon Canyon Park...beautiful!!

Karen's having a Baby Girl.....

Sorry, but I have been M.I.A. for a couple of weeks here from my last posting of the TEASER on Karen's Maternity Photoshoot. I was miserable with either Food Poisoning or the Stomach Flu....then I got a real bad Muscle Spasm. Therefore I have ALOT of catching up on here. Whew...feels good to be better...
Here is the rest of "Karen and Albert" expecting......
Albert was not too keen on being in the pictures, but gosh, the camera LOVED Karen.....I had SO much fun even though the SUN didn't want to come out and play with us. We headed down to Corona del Mar for this session.

Albert and Karen ..... EXPECTING!!!!!

I am just going to post a TEASER for this Maternity Session that I had the pleasure of shooting, meet Karen: Isn't she just absolutely BEAUTIFUL?

Class of 2010 - Meet Andrew

Talk about "taking chances".....I have seen this young man pass my front door, for quite some time, always thinking about "what grade he was in". Well, I finally stopped him and asked him .... he said he is an 11th grader. Woo Hoo....I gave him one of my Senior, Class of 2010 Post Card to

pass on to his Mom or Dad. Weeks pass by, and I didn't hear from either one, nor did I see Andrew pass by. Until one night, as I was driving back from my Trash the Dress session in Chino Hills, that I received a call from his Mother.

This young man, Andrew, very polite, very shy, and I am SO happy to have an opportunity to have a spent a couple of hours with him. Btw: any NFL Managers out there who are looking for a new Football player...call upon Andrew....
