Craig Park in Brea, CA is a perfect place for a family portrait. Lots of green grass and huge trees allow for great light in lots of different places. If you walk back a little ways you’ll also run into a small lake. All this in Orange County?


This little guy was real camera shy at first. You’ll see though, a little bit of time worked a lot of magic.


If you have a trouble getting your little one to smile in pictures, just bring a crazy uncle to make funny noises in the background.

The Fitzpatrick’s are one of my past wedding clients! They did not waste too much time producing little Fitzpatrick’s. Callie is 2 years old and a little sister is on the way . . .

Everyone giving little sister some love . . .

And now time for Callie to play . . .

The Brinson family and I met at Tewinkle Park in Costa Mesa for a little play time with their beautiful daughter. . .

Bubbles are a fantastic way to get your kid to smile and have a good time. They will completely forget about the guy with the camera.


Daddys are definitely good for play time . . .


Almost done . . . don’t get tired yet . . . just a couple more . . .

Mommys are good for nurture time . . .

Every once in a while I get to do family portraits in Orange County. This is the Gilmore family from Newport Beach! Brian, Jennifer, Brian Jr and Tyler. We met on location in south Newport – a small secluded beach that I had never been to even though I have lived in this area my entire life. I love it! I will DEFINITELY be returning there for more pictures with couples and families.





My family portrait times are a mix of composed portraits and candid pictures. The sessions last approximately one hour and are always done on location.

Fun with Dad . . .

and nurturing with Mom . . .
