The Seatons were some of my first clients and they’re so easy to photograph because they’re so attractive! They have beautiful smiles and warm souls…I feel like I’ve known them forever! When I started publicizing my Christmas special, they jumped on it right away and I’m so glad they did! Their daughter Finley just turned...

YOUR JOY.MURRAY.
So far “this season,” I’ve shot a lot of little boys! And boys are so energetic and excited about life! I love watching these little guys experience life…everything is an adventure and something to conquer. I think there’s a lesson for us all in there!

MY JOURNEY.IN THE PRESENCE OF A LEGEND.
Today was a special day; I had the fortune of attending the Governor and First Lady’s Conference on Women in Long Beach along with 30,000 other women. Once again, the event was sold out and boasted an AMAZING schedule of speakers!
The morning began with the Governor, Richard Branson, and others – it was inspiring and...
YOUR JOY.PAULE.
The Paule family was so fun for me to shoot because Julie and Phil were some of the first people I met when I moved back to the OC in 2002. Several years later, several jobs changes, we’d lost touch for a bit, then reconnected once again…and their family has improved with the addition of...
YOUR SNEAK PEEK.THE SCHNOOTER FACE.
I’m going through images from today’s awesome shoot in Crystal Cove, and I came across a precious picture that reminds me of my own little sister. As I was explaining to my clients today, photos come out adorably EVEN when their youngsters don’t smile. Callie here, is making the cutest little scrunched up...
MY JOURNEY.THE VIEW FROM THE NOT-SO-CHEAP SEATS.
Last night, I joined my dad, sister, and cousin at the Angel game. While the outcome was not the desired one, I had a blast because 1) I was with people I loved and 2) our seats were AMAZING! I tease my dad about not inviting me to games anymore, but last night about half...
YOUR JOY.JOHNSON.
My cousins called me up a couple of weeks ago and asked for help with family photos for their Christmas cards! I couldn’t say no, because 1) I love these people to death and 2) I knew they’d make excellent subjects!
We met at Oak Canyon Nature Center in Anaheim (a new favorite shooting location!) on...
YOUR JOURNEY.DIANA.
Oh, I’m sorry, did you see my latest client? I’m not gonna lie, it’s not difficult to be a photographer when you have a STUNNING subject…and Diana was just that! A portrait photographer based in Orange County, Diana is someone I met through networking at SMUG events and we clicked (pun intended) over having the...
YOUR JOY.ZACK.
Another TX shoot for the blog! While in Austin, I got to spend time with a friend from grad school and her family. We went out to old Pflugerville and Pflugerville Lake to get some updates shots of she and her son, Zack. Lindsay is a brilliant DIY blogger and is constantly impressing me with...
