wayne + julia . the engagement session

Julia + Wayne will be married next weekend!!!!!!! 

We visited UCLA for some photographs and had lots of laughs (see below!) love their chemistry and am seriously looking forward to their wedding at The Grand Del Mar

tobie + orrie . the wedding

i'm a huge fan of the way Tobie + Orrie celebrated their union. they partied twice.

these two love birds were married last Fall in an intimate ceremony on the beaches of Hawaii and vacationed with immediate family and bridal party... 

This past month, they held a reception for their closest friends and family at the beautiful Spanish Hills Country Club

while we were taking photographs; guests watched footage from their Hawaiian nuptials... so neat to have them finish the film and see the couple arrive for their grand entrance--officially starting off the party.... a beautiful celebration. 

Congrats; Tobie + Orrie.. It's been wonderful to share these past months with the two of you. Enjoy married life; may it be filled with bliss! and stay in touch :)

sloane . the baby session

meet Sloane. 

I've had the honor of photographing Nikki and Kirk's big moments over the past few years (boudoir, engagement, wedding, pregnancy) and am SO looking forward to documenting Sloane's milestones over the next year... It'll be amazing to watch her grow (and eventually have play dates with my son, Luca!) 

Thank you, Nikki & Kirk, for allowing me to share in your moments, but also for becoming friends of mine. I've had sooooo much fun with our chats and visits... I cannot wait to introduce our munchkins soon; we'll cross our fingers that there might be wedding bells someday :) 

enjoy her. soak her up. and try to get some sleep.
