On Halloween, I did a photo shoot for the Stroller Strides family workout. All the kids dressed up and after the workout I took some photos of them in their costumes.

Our leader, Kristy Sketeris was a cat with a fishbowl belly. I think this is the cutest maternity costume I’ve seen. So creative! And she did the whole workout in it!

Mia, examining the belly.  It was painted on.

Here we are during the workout, playing a game.

And here are a few of my favorite shots of the kids.

A few weeks ago I got together with Chris and Carina at Downtown Disney to shoot an engagement session for their upcoming wedding. As Carina and I tossed around some ideas for possible locations, she mentioned Downtown Disney since Chris had proposed to her in Disneyland! How special is that? So I just had to do their engagement session at Downtown Disney.

Chris and Carina are such a good match. They make each other laugh and they play together. Their sweet friendship will certainly help make their marriage great. I had so much fun hanging out with them for a few hours while we looked for good photo ops.

The color theme of their wedding is yellow, so we had fun finding some pretty yellows for their photos.

Goofing off.

We chased a few kids off from this nook in the Lego store, but I think it was worth it.

Great lighting – love the flare!

Somehow, this one is reminiscent of an old mob movie to me.

Off to shop at the World of Disney.

A big “C” for Chris and Carina. Couldn’t pass that one up.

My favorite of the day! I love the lighting and their intimate moment. Chris and Carina were so nice to oblige my idea for this picture by actually sitting IN the fountain.

I told them to pick some magazines for this shot. Their choices crack me up!

Rockin the yellow some more.

There were little hidden treasures like this all over Downtown Disney.

A sweet farewell shot.

A few weeks ago, I did a portrait session for Caralee to get some singing/modeling/acting head shots. We had fun walking around Old Town Pasadena looking for interesting photo opportunities. Caralee has had many head shots taken, so she was up for whatever I suggested. Thanks for hanging out with me for the afternoon, Caralee. I hope it was worth it for all the crazy things I asked you to do.

Crystal, Dave, James and I met at Monrovia’s recreation park for their family shoot.  I thought this was a great location, since there is a nice park there and the library.  First, we headed over to the library–one of James’ favorite places.

Afterwards, we headed to the park, and James had fun playing with daddy.

And roughhousing with mommy is fun too.

A little mommy and daddy time alone.  I thought it was so nice that this was important to them.

And the walk home.  We had a great time.  Thanks for having me take photos of your family.

I was so excited when Dare contacted me to take some headshots of Mason for his acting comp card.  Here are a few of my favorites.  Hopefully they will help get him some auditions.
