I know I've said it a million times, but nothing beats seeing a couple go from engaged to expecting, to parenthood... it's the best part of my job :) I've been lucky enough to see this family grow from the very start and can't believe how big Devyn already is... time flies :)

Devyn has an amazing couple of grandmothers... they love her to bits!

It was crazy, but we managed to wrangle in Mom, Dad, Devyn, AND the dogs for a couple shots...

Devyn's first shoulder ride:

So I just got my new sample album in from Leather Craftsmen and I am in LOVE! So in love, in fact, that it inspired me to write a blog post of all the awesome STUFF I have to offer :)

First up... my new, gorgeous Leather Craftsmen album of Karly and Nathan's wedding. The quality of these books are absolutely amazing and will last a lifetime... your grandkids will be looking at this book! 

ProductBlogPost01.jpg
The images are actual photographs treated with a protectant that makes for easy cleaning AND super crisp color.

ProductBlogPost02.jpg
I love designing my albums with big photos and simple layouts... so the images are the stars of the show :)

ProductBlogPost03.jpg
ProductBlogPost04.jpg
ProductBlogPost05.jpg
Next up... my press printed album! Thick, durable pages printed on paper to make a gorgeous, yet cost effective album option:

And lastly... a super cute sign in book with thick, flexible pages and a custom photo cover.

I love this girl. I love the promo video she made me. And I SERIOUSLY love all the color she showed up with. Add all those together and you have one of my favorite photo shoots to date :)

Check out her amazing 'handcrafted videos for photographers' at www.jakfoto.com

Happy Friday!

jakfotoblog01.jpg
The super awesome Krystle Blair (The Studio Salon in Anaheim Hills) completely styled Kiera from her clothes to her hair and makeup.

jakfotoblog02.jpg
 For the most part I couldn't bring myself to make Kiera black and white, but this photo is so striking without color...

jakfotoblog03.jpg
jakfotoblog04.jpg
Her husband and business partner, Josh came along for a few shots too... I love his hat :)

jakfotoblog05.jpg
This awesome quilt was a handmade wedding present from Josh's grandma. It came complete with a few cigarette burns here and there just like my Grandma would have done :)

jakfotoblog06.jpg
jakfotoblog07.jpg
The light! Love it!

jakfotoblog08.jpg
jakfotoblog09.jpg
My favorite of the day! She is ridiculously pretty, don't you think?

jakfotoblog10.jpg
I love that they were both totally willing to lay on the ground for these shots...

jakfotoblog11.jpg
Gee, too bad the sunset wasn't much to look at...

jakfotoblog12.jpg
Some silliness turned into one of my favorite photos of the day...

jakfotoblog13.jpg
And lastly... a blurry photo (that I like anyway)

I really couldn't have imagined a better way to start off my year than with Trent and Amanda's wedding... I loooooooove them! They're fun, easy going, and madly in love... a dream come true for a photographer :)

Here are some of my favorite photos of the day... Happy New Year!

They wanted LOTS of photos so they decided to see each other before the ceremony... I love getting to photograph this moment:

I love fun socks and shoes!

The flower girl was very enthusiastic about her job :)

A bit of fun...

I love all these engagement sessions I've gotten to do lately! It's so much fun getting to know my clients before the big day... especially when I get to shoot at quirky places like mini golf courses :) 

Here are some of my favorites from Christell and Wendall's engagement shoot. Happy Thursday!

10 years ago we met. 5 years ago we got married. This year we did this (and I love Stephanie Ann for making it happen):

We decided to shoot at the windmills because we were driving out to visit family in the desert a lot around the time we decided to get married :) And because I think they're beautiful.

Omigosh looking at these photos just puts a smile on my face :) Karly was the amazingly gorgeous bride and Nathan was pretty dashing himself. I have lots of favorites from this wedding so prepare yourself... and don't forget to click on the slideshow at the bottom of the page if you want to see more :)

Have a great weekend!!


They got married at the Waverly Chapel in Santa Ana... next to a graveyard. We couldn't resist taking a few photos there...

mumfordwedblog05.jpg
They opted to see each other before the ceremony to ease their nerves... and not only was it a sweet moment, but we had SO much time for photos...


After a few photos on the church grounds we headed to Downtown Fullerton for some more urban surroundings... the next 5 are my favorites of the day (I couldn't decide!)


Rings on the turntable? Yes, please.

And I'll end with some party pictures... this was a crazy-fun group!

Michelle and Michael can't seem to help but smile every time they look at each other... which, of course, makes me smile too. I love a couple that laughs together!

Get ready for one of the brightest smiles ever! Andrea was one ridiculously happy bride and every time she saw Luis she couldn't help but grin at him. 

Here are some of my favorite happy moments from the wedding day... happy Tuesday!


Andrea's babies watching all the commotion... 

I am so jealous of my 2nd shooter's ring shot! Kate, you rule!

The first look! Andrea thought Luis was going to cry, but she did instead :)

Well little Roman is 8 months old now and you know what that means... more photos! 

I can't even tell you how lucky I feel to know and work with this family. They are a photographer's dream come true: creative, gorgeous, super nice, loving, fun... the list goes on and on. I look forward to getting together with them every 4 months and dread the next shoot... because it's the last official shoot of Roman's first year. Sniffle, sniffle...

Anyway... let's look at some photos! They decided to shoot at my favorite place ever: The Hotel Maya! Yay!
