I was very blessed to be able to photograph Matt and Christina’s wedding portraits at the Los Angeles LDS Temple after their sealing.  This was such a beautiful and loving couple.  Their happy spirit really showed in their photos.  I love when couples are relaxed enough to interact and play with one another.  Especially on their wedding day, which can be quite stressful.  Here is Matt and Christina exiting the temple.

Their wedding party.

After pictures with their family and bridal party, we walked around the temple for some intimate portraits.

I love the sun flare.  This may be may favorite shot of the day, but there’s too many to decide.

I love that Matt is holding Christina’s bouquet.

Their sealing was a little later in the afternoon, so we had beautiful golden rim lighting for many of the shots.  I love it!

My second favorite of the day.  They just look to happy together.

Christina was a naturally stunning bride.

Some straight on temple shots.

Great city view from the temple grounds.

After the temple and just minutes before the reception, we had time for a very very quick stop at Union Station in Downtown Los Angeles.  It was quite crowded, but we managed to get a few great shots.

And lastly, a detail shot of their rings.  This was the wrapper on their wedding favors.  I love the “happily ever after”.  Matt and Christina, I hope you do live happily ever after and that your love grows each day.  Thank you for asking us to be a part of your special day.

I was excited to photograph Mary and Thomas’s little girl, Audrey again.  Check out her 3 month old session HERE.  We decided to do their family session at the Arboretum in Arcadia.  It was beautiful there, even if it was a lot of walking for this pregnant mama.

Audrey had so much fun with daddy.

And some on the grass with mom and dad.

I had so much fun photographing your family.  I love to see my clients again, especially as the little ones grow bigger.

One of my friends at Stroller Strides was expecting her third boy, so I came over to their home in Monrovia to take some maternity photos of her with her boys.  She has already had her adorable little boy, Tate, so hopefully I will get caught up enough to post those photos soon.  Here is Jenny preggers:

Her boys, Cole and Dane, had fun tickling bellies.

After some family time, we headed out back to take some photos of Jenny and TIm together.  I love this one of Tim announcing their third son.

A nice frame.

As a reward, the boys were allowed to paint Jenny’s belly at the end of the shoot.  They looked forward to it the whole shoot.

Ben is practically our nephew.  I couldn’t resist taking his senior portraits.  He was a little hesitant to be the focus of our photo session, but I think he was happy with the results.  Here is the shot he chose for his graduation announcements.

Gotta show off that awesome letterman’s jacket.

Ben and his brother, Josh.  They are great buddies.  I hope my two boys will be good friends like them.

Ben is into tons of sports, so we wanted to do some shots to show off his interests.  We started in the weight room.

Then we headed to the courts for some basketball.

And some track shots.

I was happy to meet Stella again and take pictures for first birthday.  I can’t believe this little cutie is already a year old.  Check out her last session at 9 months HERE.  This time we took some family shots as well.

After some family shots, we headed over to the playground for Stella to play.  We did this shoot at Victory Park in Pasadena, which is one of my favorite parks to shoot at.  They have so many nice frames and colorful equipment to use.
