Hi Friends! So life has been very full and busy with baseball and theatre in our family. We also started our 10th year of homeschooling and we are so blessed to be surrounded by amazing families that motivate and encourage our children and us. Real quick, I just wanted to tell you about this year’s…

Learning to See – La Mirada Family Photographer
Home is a privileged place to be. I have struggled with being content while being at home. I was constantly on the go when I had 1 little one, then I had 2 little ones and that didn’t slow me down one bit. Then I had 3 little ones and oh my! I barely left…
A Minimalist Christmas – Gift Ideas
(This post was originally published on Orange County Moms Blog) Back in October I was in the hardware store and there were Christmas decorations that greeted us as we walked through the sliding doors. We as a family totally love Christmas and really the whole season, so it never bothers me when all the decor…
Focusing on what’s Important this Holiday Season (Orange County Documentary Family Photography)
The forecast mentioned rain today… but I really didn’t believe it. Was I being pessimistic or a realist? I think a pessimist is someone who says “it’s not going to happen, or won’t happen” (when referring to something good or beneficial). As oppose to a realist who makes a judgement or has an opinion based…
My Photography Journey (Southern California Documentary Family Photographer)
When I was a little girl I would take pictures of my cats. I would pose them on this little wicker end table and use almost a whole roll of film just on them. Then when I was a little older I always took pictures of clouds. Those big fluffy clouds that had pictures in…
Learning to See, a 2018 Project 52 (Southern California Documentary Family Photographer)
I’m finally saying yes to a Project 52 this year! I never committed to one before, I think it’s because in my head I already knew I wouldn’t be able to finish it, so I basically failed before I started. Maybe I have commitment issues… Maybe I just don’t want to be held accountable… Whatever…
Holiday Harvest Boutique
Every year I try to host a boutique to help support local, home based businesses. Don’t you get tired of ordering everything online? I know I do, I’d much rather go and see, touch, try or smell what I’m going to purchase, especially if it’s for a gift. But who has time to do that?…
A Moment in Our Life – Muddy Fun (Southern California Documentary Family Photographer)
After awhile I feel very uninspired when I’m only using my camera on my phone. So I make sure to pull out my regular camera because realistically, I’m not going to print pictures from my phone. I do add them to our school yearbook because I don’t always have my camera attached to my hip…
A Family Story – the McCoy’s (Orange County Family Photographer)
The McCoy family loves family outings, exploring, camping, fishing, hiking, finding rocks…
DITL: A Day In The Life – in April (Southern California Documentary Family Photographer)
It’s Saturday… Four out of the five kids were up all night emptying their stomachs and my mom and I rotated through taking care of the kids. They each had their own bucket… it was ridiculous! But if we only have to loose one night of sleep and no one else gets sick tonight, all…
