Baby Evan turns One! {San Dimas Family Photographer}

Love this family! Been capturing them forever - since Evan's big sis Alyssa was a baby! Whoa. They are just the sweetest, super-cool, most adorable family - and they have this great big group of magical friends and family who adore them and they all come together to have these fabulous parties (we also captured Alyssa's birthday and had a blast). At his 1st Evan enjoyed a fantastic animal show (complete with majestic owl and beautiful fox...and snake and alligator!), In'N'Out burger (his own truck no less!) and delicious treats! Happy Birthday Evan, so fun.

Happy Birthday Izzy! {Orange County Birthday Party Photographer}

We captured Izzy's 3rd birthday party at her home in Costa Mesa last month and WOW was it fantastic!

Here are just a few of our many favorites from little Isabel's birthday party... enjoy!!

Happy Birthday Ashani! [Pasadena Birthday Photographer]

We photographed Ashani's super fabulous first birthday party this month at her home in Pasadena with her family and friends. There were a lot of cute moments at this party but my absolute FAV was when Ashani tried cake for the first time! After that first sugary bite she was a baby on a mission, she couldn't eat it fast enough! Here are a few of my favorite photos from Ashani's birthday party, enjoy!

Happy Birthday Hailee and Micah! {Los Angeles Birthday Photographer}

Last month we documented Hailee and Micah's SUPER fantastic Hawaiian party at Roy's in Pasadena. The twins had so many cute outfit changes it was hard to keep up but each look was more fabulous than the last! Entertainment was provided by Ben Gordon who created some great balloons and Hawaiian shaved ice by Kianakai was served for dessert! Here are a few of our favorite images from Hailee and Micah's big day!

Happy Birthday Rylan!

I've been photographing Rylan since the day he was born so I was SO excited to be able to document his first birthday and celebrate this milestone with him and his family. The party took place at a private beach park in Orange County with the most spectacular view of the ocean. Mom and Dad were the ultimate "do-it-yourself-ers" and the results were spectacular! Our favorite balloon artist was also on hand creating amazing balloon animals for the kids and adults. Here are a few of my favorite images from Rylan's party, enjoy!

Happy 18th Birthday Jessica! {Los Angeles Event Photographer}

After meeting and photographing this adorable family last month I was really excited to photograph Jessica's birthday party at the Westlake Village Inn! The party was MC'd and Dj'd by Get in the Groove Entertainment who did an awesome job entertaining the guests and also provided the photo booth which was a HUGE hit. My favorite moments from Jessica's party was definitely the slide show made by one of her brothers, (I'm pretty sure the entire family was in tears by the time it ended) and when Jessica danced with her dad. I even cried during that part! It was so inspiring to see how close this family was and how well not only the kids got along but how much they truly loved each other. Buckley Video was also there filming the event, I'm sure the family is going to love getting to re-live Jessica's uncles' dance moves over and over :) It was such a beautiful celebration, I can only imagine what a tear-jerk-er her wedding is going to be...

Happy 1st Birthday Mathew! {Orange County Birthday Party Photographer}

I was so happy to document little Mathew's 1st Birthday Party at The Rainforest Cafe in Downtown Disney last month! His entire group of family and friends were so sweet and delightful and an absolute joy to photograph. The birthday boy was also in great spirits throughout the entire party which is quite a rare occurrence with babies ;) Everyone at The Rainforest Cafe was also incredibly accommodating and attentive and made the party a huge hit with all the guests... the food also looked fantastic might I add! Here are just a few of my favorite photos from little Mathew's birthday, enjoy!
