I had the opportunity to meet Kelly several years ago when I shot an event she was working at. Fast forward a few years, and I had the opportunity to meet Kelly's fiance, Ari. What a fun and easy-to-get-along-with couple. They are the real deal and I am so happy for them to tie the knot September. Congratulations Kelly & Ari! 

Meet Crissy & Dustin....two of the coolest people I think I've ever met. I had the privlege of spending some time in Peru this past summer on a mission trip with them both. I've known Crissy for about 11 years, but going to Peru with them totally gave me the opportunity to get to know Dustin better, and them as a couple better too. I had such a great time with them there, and at their wedding and another joy that day was getting to work again with my sister, of Rachel Wurzbach Photography. It was a beautiful Newport Beach day with perfect weather with an equally beautiful ceremony & reception. Congratulations Crissy & Dustin! 

I had the privilege of shooting Sarah + Dave's wedding this past Saturday at a beautiful church in Whittier. The day was made even better by having my sister of Rachel Wurzbach Photography second shoot with me. The weather started out rainy, but by the start of the ceremony the skies broke and gave sunshine. It was a beautiful day. I was introduced to Sarah by a good friend of mine, Ellen, owner of Stella Blue Dress, a phenomenal event planning company. By the end of our initial meeting, I felt like I was old friends with Sarah! Fast forward to this past Saturday and all of the planning came to fruition in a beautiful wedding. I was especially touched by how sweet Sarah + Dave's families were. You don't see that every day - two sets of married parents fully endorsing and supporting the marriage of their children. It was so cool to see and at the minimum, inspiring.

Congratulations Sarah + Dave; your wedding was beautiful! Thank you so much for hiring me as your photographer - it was an absolute joy! 

Meet baby Derenger. I.am.in.love! This little guy is such a sweet heart and was beyond easy to get into position for his first shoot. He did great! I have a special place in my heart for little Deren since he is my newest nephew;). I was smitten the moment I met him, what can I say?! Congratulations Noah and Chels on your second born son. We love him and you guys to pieces! 

PS Sometimes people ask me how I get my babies to sleep for their photos. While I'm not ready to give away all my secrets, I'll show in my first photo one of tricks I have up my sleeve. I LOVE my white noise app on my phone...and so do my babies;)

Meet the Gunn Family: Chris, Angela, Campbell and Isaiah. I absolutely love this family! I was their photographer when they renewed their vows on the beach and I got the photograph baby Isaiah when he was born earlier this year. I can't believe how fast time flies! Thank you Chris and Angela - love you guys! 

I had the recent opportunity to shoot this amazing family, The Carrell's. They are such a fun group and I can't say enough great things about them. I had such a great time with all of them. See baby AJ and baby Mia? I shot their newborn portraits recently and could not believe how much both of them have changed in such a short period of time! Thank you Carrell Family - You guys are great! 

When my family and I went up to the Bay Area for Thanksgiving, I got the opportunity to photograph my cousin's adorable little baby, Caleb. I am so smitten with this little guy already. Thanks DJ & Ane for the opportunity to spend some time with your newest addition! 

Meet Jonathan and Eileen....and their adorable 4 boys! This family was so much fun to work with! Eileen and I went to BIOLA together and lived on the same floor. Fast forward to what feels like maybe 5(ish) years but in actually is over 15 years and we got to meet up again. Eileen and Jonathan you have a beautiful, beautiful family; inside and out. Thank you! 

When it comes to newborns, I kind of can't help myself....I just love them! They are by far my most favorite people to photograph. Now that we're back from Thanksgiving break, I wanted to post some more of my faves to my site of baby AJ. Oh my this little guy is too sweet!
