My Niece Emmi | Pleasanton Park Children’s Portrait

I can’t believe how time flies, my niece Emmi is already 18 months old. She is just the cutest little thing, I love her dearly.  On my recent visit to Pleasanton I got to spend some time with Miss Em and meet a friend’s new baby, Addyson.  Addyson’s photos are due here at the blog very shortly, so stay tuned.  In the meantime, you all get to share our trip to park.  Me and Emmi like to call it our Gap Kids shoot in the park.  As she is modeling the cute pink long sleeve tee her Auntie Bah Bah got her from Baby Gap.  I love that store!  Here is Emmi styling in the park and playing too!

I love this one…she has her serious model face on! Strike a pose girl!

Looking at the pretty flowers and they match my shirt!

Another favorite of Emmi coming down the slide.  She knew just how far to climb up before it got to steep for her, then she turned around and slid down.  Loving the static cling hair on this one girl!

Ric+Pamela | Fun Couples in Business

Happy Monday!  A few portraits today of Ric and Pamela of La Palma Home Finder.  What can I say, we appreciate fellow couples in business as Jeff and I are a husband and wife photography team.  It is an amazing experience to work together and reach for a common goal, the success of your business.  We had such a fun time with these two.  They are great people who are fabulous to work with.

This was Ric and Pamela’s couple portrait used for their business! It is a fun shot that represents both of their personalities & their relationship as a couple.  I love that they picked something different than a standard business type pose.  If you want your business to stand out these days, I think you have to do something a little different!

Here are just a few more shots from the session.  I just loved Ric and Pamela’s chemistry so we shot a couple of fun poses too.

Love this one it is so very romantic!

Hope you all have a great week. Thanks for stopping by! J+D

Mike+Maggie=Engaged | Orange County Engagement Photography

Recently we celebrated Mike and Maggie’s engagement with a little wine tasting and photos out in Temecula.  This was a little different engagement session as the two just wanted to spend the day together and take some moments as we went along.

Maggie and I actually go way back.  We went to the same high school in State College, PA but she was a few years behind me, so we didn’t actually meet until college.  We both worked as bank tellers during our days at Penn State and then we lost touch after I had moved away.  After all these years, Maggie and I reconnected on Facebook…imagine that!  Then I found out she lived out here in California too and was only about a half hour away from where we lived.  I was totally excited because it was a familiar face from back home.

It has been so great to catch up with each others lives!  One of the best things to hear was that Maggie was engaged to a great guy and planning their wedding.  So, not only did I find an old friend, but we get to shoot her wedding. We are so excited to share in this fabulous day with them.  Until then, we have some great moments of the two on our day in Temecula.

So, our day started out at Ponte Winery where we had a fabulous lunch in which I tried my first cooked mussel.  That was an adventure for me!  We then stopped at Monte de Oro Winery which is a new winery out there that is just gorgeous and they have some great wines!  Finally, we ended at one of my favorites, Leonesse Cellars where we took a few shots in the vines. All I have to say is… AMAZING!!!  Love, Wine and the Vines you can’t go wrong celebrating your love there for your wedding or engagement!

Congratulations to Mike and Maggie, we can’t wait to shoot your wedding!  Thanks for spending the day with us and sharing some fabulous moments with us.  Cheers to you both! J+D

I love Maggie’s expression in this one!

Voted a favorite by all of us!

Love in the Vines!

Mark+Jean=Married | Dana Point Yacht Club Wedding

Happy Friday to all!  Our Chicago couple is back to share with you their I-Do’s in the beautiful Dana Point Harbor.  I still can’t believe that these two both lived only a short distance from each other in Chicago, but didn’t meet until they both moved out to Southern California.  The two were engaged in Dana Point, so they brought their wedding day celebration back to that special spot to share with all of their family and friends.  On a gorgeous Friday afternoon at the Dana Point Yacht Club  Mark and Jean were married.  Congratulations to you both!  Thank you so much for having us share your wedding day with you.  Have a fabulous weekend!  Cheers, J+D
