[Picture Love] Capturing the Magic: Date Night Through My Lens

in ,

Hey bestie! 🌟 I recently had the joy of tagging along on a fantastic date night with an adorable couple: Kathryn & Victor, and let me tell you, it was a blast! Mini golf, arcade games, laughter, and love – it was a perfect blend of fun and romance.

Date Night Unveiled

Picture this: neon lights, the sound of laughter echoing in the air, and two people genuinely enjoying each other's company. As a photographer, being part of this date night was a magical experience. It wasn't just about capturing moments; it was about freezing time and creating memories that will be cherished forever.

The Benefits of a Photographer on Date Night

  1. Authentic Moments Captured: With me by your side, you can focus on being in the moment while I capture the authentic joy, love, and connection between you two. No need to worry about selfies – I've got that covered!

  2. Professional Quality Imagery: Say goodbye to blurry phone photos and hello to high-quality, professional images that showcase the beauty of your relationship. Each photo is a piece of art, carefully composed to tell your unique story.

  3. A Third Wheel That Enhances the Date: I'm not just a photographer; I'm a third wheel that adds a touch of fun and creativity to your date. From candid shots to creative compositions, your date night becomes a personalized photoshoot experience. Plus I’m a delight to have around ;)

  4. Documenting Every Smile and Victory: Mini golf victories, high-fives, and the joy of hitting the jackpot at the arcade – every smile and triumph will be documented, creating a visual storybook of your date night.

We were unable to meet this month but I am very excited to deliver their yearbooks next month!

If you are interested in booking your Year in the Life, check out this page with more info on how to subscribe. You can start your subscription in January to go from Jan-Dec or start it as you are expecting a new member in your family, or at the beginning of the school year!

Days may be long but years are short, so don’t let another year pass by without documenting your family’s legacy with you all in front of the camera. Just think of all the growth and memories that can live forever through professional photographs in a beautiful heirloom album to be passed on to future generations.

Year-In-The-Life aka YITL - Orange County Photographer

in , ,

A NEW service I offer is Year-In-The-Life (YITL) sessions. Starting in January, I photograph you (and your family) at your home, work, or out and about on an adventure on a monthly basis through December. Throughout the year you get an online gallery of your photos and at the end of the year, I put together a "yearbook" album for you to cherish for years to come. It's a great way to document your life without having to worry about missing those big or small moments. And this yearbook can be passed down to your kids and grandkids. I started YITL this year and it's been amazing! Each month it's a condensed version of Day-In-The-Life and my clients pick an experience they want memorialized each month. It's been really fun to watch growth (in many ways) over the course of a year as an outsider.

For the PSP Class of 2022 I am only taking on 5 clients, so if this is something you want to do next year, let's chat ASAP ! Imagine what you can have documented in a whole year of your life!

These documentary sessions are not just for families that include children and two parents. They can be for a couple, a single parent, just you, a business (I have a slightly different package for brand content you can ask me about), etc. Skies the limit! If you are seeing this blog, these sessions are for you!

If you’re interested in being part of PSP Class of 2022, let’s make it happen!

Melissa and I were in the same Girl Scout troop as kids. Her older sister was in my grade and their mom was our troop leader. Melissa and I reconnected on Facebook a couple years ago and she recently reached out for a documentary family photo session before undergoing chemotherapy.

Melissa booked a Slice of Life session where I spent an hour with her family playing legos, blowing bubbles, baking 1 giant chocolate chip cookie, and playing in the neighborhood party, all typical Sunday afternoon activities.

In April I held a Mother's Day Giveaway contest in my VIP Facebook Group (go join!) where I had people nominate a deserving mom for a FREE photo/video shoot. So many incredible women were nominated and after all the votes were counted, the winner was Ashley Miller!

Ashley and I worked at the same company in HR a few years ago and I had not seen her since she left. It was great to catch up a bit and to meet her adorable little fam.

Without further ado, meet the Millers!

It was a pleasure to document this family at one of their favorite places and give them photographs and a film to cherish for a life time. If you are interested in booking your authentic family session, drop me a line!

Amy reached out to me to take photographs on her family including the cutie, Bennett! There’s a great park right behind their backyard so we went on a little adventure, had dinner, and then bed time!

I love capturing a day for a family like this. It shows how everyone interacts together and is a great way to freeze this moment in time to cherish for years to come.
