[Picture Family] Haddy Family

I met Jessica in 2017 when she performed (violin) as a duet with a friend of mine who played Piano. And ever since, she has asked me to come film the SoCal Philharmonic concerts since she is first chair. This holiday season, Jessica had me come over one afternoon to her house in Laguna Beach to photograph her family for their Holiday card. They do the same photo every year, full family with an instrument. I was honored to photograph this year’s photo.

The Shakes & Dear Kora | Orange County Documentary Photographer

Last night I attended a small show for local bands in Lake Forest, CA. The opener was The Shakes. They were a fun alternative indie rock band that moved people to dance which I really enjoyed. And next up was Dear Kora. I loved their emotional vibe and hint of Flyleaf tone. They really captured the audience and even had a mosh pit going at the end.

In the past when I have done concert photography I have solely focused on the band but now with the documentary mindset, I found myself focusing on the fans and getting the raw emotion of the show.

I shot in RAW but I put my settings to Monochrome (Black & White) in camera, knowing that I could see them in color later when editing. While editing, I decided I liked how the majority of photos looked in Black & White and stuck with that. 

Hope you enjoy :)

Venue: Orange County DIY located at North Dwarf Records in Lake Forest, CA.

[Picture Love] Jon & Amanda Russell 9.26.15

I am thankful for family who support and believe in my art. Amanda is one of my cousin's best friends. Amanda booked my services early this summer and it was a client/photographer match! Her and Jon were a joy to work with and their bridal party was a blast! They are one big loving family and it made for a great wedding. Unfortunately Amanda got a massive migraine after the toasts and was unable to enjoy all of the evening's festivities but when she felt better, she came out for the last song of the night. Everyone was moved by the First Dance. It was really quite special. I hope you enjoy these highlights from their wedding. 

[Picture Love] Jacob & Katie Engaged!!

Hello my friends! It's been a little bit since I have blogged, so I apologize! I have been busy with weddings, my day job, and school. I am kicking my editing butt into gear and there will be a ton of new content coming your way! Starting with this amazing session! 

Katie has been my best friend since we were 7. I remember the exact moment we met and have countless wonderful memories with her by my side. Last year Katie stood with me on my wedding day and I am so thrilled to stand with her on her wedding day in June! She deserves all the Love in the world and I believe she has found that in her prince charming, Jacob. 
These two are BIG Disney fans and when Katie approached me to take their engagement photos at the happiest place on earth, I was ecstatic! This was my first, and hopefully not last, engagement session at Disneyland and it was so much fun! These two are natural in front of the camera which made my job so easy! Their wedding theme is Tiki, as in the Tiki Room, which made for some Dole Whip indulgence and fun photos. I could go on and on about this session and this beautiful couple but instead I'll let you enjoy the photos.

Thank you for stopping by my blog, I hope to meet you in front of my camera soon!

[Picture Life] Sara Christine at 4 months old!

Hey everyone! Thank you for checking out my blog. I apologize for being MIA lately. I was out of the country for a couple weeks early summer filming a couple documentaries and have been working at my normal 9-5 desk job a lot so I haven't had many photo or video shoots recently. I am pleased to share these photos of this adorable 4 month old, Sara Christine! 

Ericka is a co-worker of mine and when she went on leave of absence to have Sara, we decided that once she was born I would take some photos of her. I went to her home on Sunday, August 16th, and was greeted by her family. Ericka shares a home with her honey, her parents, and there were cousins and nieces all around, showering miss Sara with Love. It was such a joy to be around their family and capture the cuteness that is Sara. Without further ado, enjoy these photos! 

I hope you enjoyed this bundle of joy as much as I did taking these photos. Which one was your favorite?
