This was the first time I had done mini sessions.  SO. MUCH. FUN.  I loved it!  I wish I could do that every weekend.  It was perfect.  30 minute sessions. Done and done :)  I was a little worried at first, I was used to 1-2 hour sessions.  But we got some many fun pictures in the half hour that we had from every session.  I was so happy!

Here are a few of my favorites from every session that day:

The Wakumoto Family:


The Velarde Family: The Gale Family: The Schulenburg Family: The Clookie Family: The Hancock Family: The Zollinger Family: Whooosh! That was A LOT of images! Just FYI, I am holding another Saturday of mini sessions on November 19th. I have one session still available. The 2pm session that will be downtown Laguna Beach. Let me know if you are interested. It will be a GREAT time!

This is such a sweet family.  I think this is the 4th time I've been able to do their family portraits.  It's been SO much fun to watch their family grow.  And I hope I get to for a long long time.  Here are some of my favorites from their session.

I loved being a part of Marc and Sara's day!  Such a sweet day.  You could feel the love.

How beautiful is this family?!  Everyone was so perfectly behaved and their little baby, Claire, just looked right at the camera during the family portraits.  So perfect.  I adore how they came out!

It's that time of year again.  Albums!  This summer and fall have been absolutely insanely busy.  Crazy!  Not very many albums get designed, but now that the wedding season has slowed down it is the album designing season for me.  But it is really fun to see the final outcome.  Below is one of the leather albums I've received.


When you open the box, this is what you see. So pretty There are so many options for the leather albums to customize your album just for you. One of my favorite options is the embossed imprinting Beautiful, clean, classic design. I love it. Timeless I love the seamless gutter. No gap in the middle of the spread When I opened the box for Katherine and Fredy's album, I saw this: It's just a piece advertising for me, but the cool part is...that's a Mollie Jane album that I design 2 years ago!!! The album company loved my design and now they use it in a lot of their advertising. What a fun surprise!
