Everyday: Savanna: Sweetharts

You guys totally blow me away with all of your comments and feedback.
I have gotten so many positive comments on the session I did with the tutus, and I couldn't wait to share the second half with you!

This is Savanna. She was born to be in front of the camera. Seriously. She was so full of sparkle and I don't think she could take a bad picture!

Little Girls in Tutu's

When I was young, I had a dress up box.
When I opened that box, I could be anyone I wanted to be... a princess, a mommy, a cheerleader, a chef, a fairy, or even a ballerina. There is just something about playing dress up that brings out the girlie in little girls.

Yesterday I got to bring out a whole lot of girlie in two adorable little girls. A BIG thanks to my friend Nicole for donating the tutus and headbands (she MAKES them!), as well as the wonderful Crystal for second shooting and helping me keep track of two rambunctious girls.

Here's a little sneak peak (new logo and all!)

Long Beach Wedding: Dane and Lacey

The sky was full of clouds that seemed to be ready to break open at any minute.
As the ceremony started, rays of sun pushed their way through.

It was a wedding more than 10 years in the making.
More than a decade before, a little boy knocked at the neighbor's front door in hopes of getting a glimpse of the little girl.
Years later, that boy stood at the end of the aisle, getting choked up as the girl came towards him.
"I've known I wanted to marry you since I was 12." Lacey's vows stated. Dane's were just as candid and emotional.

Lacey and Dane, thank you for allowing me to be a part of your day.
I know you are going to be so happy together!


Everyone got ready at the Maya hotel in Long Beach. It was beautiful!








The girls made their own flowers, and I think they did an awesome job!





I loved the guys details :)


Dane you are so cool!


I need to take a minute and tell the Groomsmen... you ROCKED! Seriously, you made my job sooo easy!


This is the definition of cool:





The vows were my favorite part. They were so real and raw and full of love.








Hello Photogenic!





Favorite #1.


Favorite #2... seriously, Lacey you are GORGEOUS!

Perfection.

A special thank you to Angela for second shooting with me :)

Yesterday I had the honor of shooting a beautiful wedding in Long Beach. I cannot wait to share all of the beautiful photos with you but as I was going through them, I thought I'd share a little sneak peak :)

Congrats Lacey and Dane!
