Livienne is growing so fast! It really seems like I just did her newborn photos last month! Here are a few of my favorite photos from her 9 month photo shoot :) 

I love all the facial expressions she goes through:

And, of course, we had to get both girls in Dad's car for a few!

And that's all for now! Keep an eye out for Livi's first year shoot coming up in April :)

I'm so excited to share Char'lee and JVs' maternity photos with you today! I have a special little place in my heart for these two ever since I was their wedding photographer in 2011. They are such an amazing couple... I know they will be great parents! I can't wait to see them all together in April :) 

The day of the shoot was ridiculously gloomy and dark, but we found a bright little corner in Downtown Fullerton and made the most of it:

I love all the textures and colors here...

And all the lines of the setting and the cuteness of Char'lee and JV.

Hello! It's been a crazy month for me and my little business... it's been hard to find the time to blog! Moving your home is one thing, but moving your home AND your business office is nuts. My desk is a thrown together hot mess! But don't worry, I'm slowly getting myself back on track and have lots of photos to share with you in the next few weeks :) 

But for now, meet the Moritz Family:

They just welcomed a baby girl into their lives... so exciting! 

moritz_2213_25bwweb.jpg
As soon as I saw this mirror I knew this photo had to happen! I love how sweet and simple photos like this are: 

moritz_2213_33-2web.jpgmoritz_2213_37bwweb.jpg
Daddy's arms :)

Baby details... happy sigh...

I love the props Mom and Dad had ready for me when I arrived!

moritz_2213_81-2web.jpgmoritz_2213_88bwweb.jpg
Her little face is just perfect!

Mark and Vicky were married in the woods on New Years Day. It was perfect. It was cold, but even that lent to the perfectness of it all (pardon my made-up words). Close friends and family huddled close as they listened to the sweet vows and watched Mark and Vicky's first kiss. I'm very happy to have been there to see it all :)

dominguezwedblog01.jpg
The details were beyond beautiful. They really outdid themselves with all these DIY projects: 

dominguezwedblog02.jpg
All the signs were a particularly amazing touch:

Vicky was so calm as she got ready :)

dominguezwedblog05.jpgdominguezwedblog06.jpg
Their sweet little flower girl :)

Mark chose his father for best man :)

You may kiss the bride! 

dominguezwedblog16.jpgdominguezwedblog17.jpg
I love all the twiggy trees!

dominguezwedblog18.jpg
Vicky was all smiles... I loved it!

Pretty lady...

And I'll end with the shiny stuff! Thanks for looking :)

My last wedding of 2012 was sooooo much fun! Nick and Jen did an amazing job keeping everyone (as well as each other) smiling with little surprises, amazing food, and great music. I couldn't have asked for a better end to my wedding season :) 

Here is Jen's beautiful dress: 

pueblaweddingblog01.jpg
Jen is a hairstylist so her hair was nothing short of perfect. I especially love the blue streaks :)

pueblaweddingblog02.jpgpueblaweddingblog03.jpgpueblaweddingblog04.jpg
I love her tattoo... "To Infinity and beyond!" 

pueblaweddingblog05.jpgpueblaweddingblog06.jpg
I am IN LOVE with this photo of Nick my assistant captured:

pueblaweddingblog07.jpg
First Look! 

pueblaweddingblog08.jpg
They were just a little happy about getting married... haha.

Waverly Chapel has the most beautiful architecture:

Yay, a 'bridesguy'!

pueblaweddingblog15.jpgpueblaweddingblog16.jpg
One of my favorites of the day :)

pueblaweddingblog17.jpg
Jen surprised Nick with an acoustic version of Rihanna's Only Girl that morphed into the original version. She and her dad were so cute dancing up the aisle!

pueblaweddingblog18.jpgpueblaweddingblog19.jpg
Husband and wife!!

pueblaweddingblog20.jpg
Celebrations at Turnip Rose is quite the venue. Jen and Nick wanted it to feel like Vegas... mission accomplished. 

pueblaweddingblog21.jpg
My favorite detail of the day... a mariachi band!!! 

pueblaweddingblog22.jpg
My favorite photo of the day. I love that we had a little extra time to play with off camera lighting.

Their first dance song was Easy Girl by Coconut Records. Click the slideshow below to hear it :)

pueblaweddingblog24.jpg
In order to keep the party alive they opened the dance floor right away with a couple well chosen songs: 

pueblaweddingblog25.jpgpueblaweddingblog26.jpgpueblaweddingblog27.jpgpueblaweddingblog28.jpg
Then it was time for the toasts... my favorite part of weddings :) The bridesmaids had a little surprise up their sleeves: 

pueblaweddingblog29.jpg
And Jen had a little surprise up her dress...

pueblaweddingblog30.jpg
I must be getting old... I'd never heard of 'icing' someone before :) Apparently because Nick found a Smirnoff Ice attached to Jen's leg he had to down it immediately. He took it like a champ!

Cheers!
