We've been trying to schedule Baby Kate and family for a while now, and we're so glad we finally got a chance to shoot in Laguna Beach. We had a gorgeous location at a friend's house, a beautiful family in Kate and her parents, and the perfect lighting at sunset. Kate was such a cute and happy baby. She seemed to love the camera and vice versa.

As you can see, Kate and her mom share this in common: sticking their tongue out. 
This is my favorite shot. I could not stop smiling while I was retouching this photo because it's just so darn cute!

Kate was so easily amused. Something as simple as a piece of grass was enough to make her happy.

I love how her cute little toes curl.
She was posing for my wife here. What a darling!


Just look at that face. 

Here's an action sequence, with the kiss first...
... then the lift!

Spanning three generations.

Su and Hanson Weds at Tustin Ranch Golf Club
With all the fires going on around Orange County, it was nice to have a little rain. Unfortunately, it was also Su and Hanson's wedding day at the Tustin Ranch Golf Club. It drizzled on and off until the ceremony was to begin, then it suddenly stopped and a beautiful sunset arrived just in time for a beautiful ceremony. Su and Hanson are such a nice couple, I'm so glad everything worked out in the end.

The bridesmaids were busy getting Su's wedding dress bustled up. You can see the hands working furiously on it.
I love when the bridesmaids are perfectly spaced out with great posture.

The recessional. The bride and groom share a genuine smile with each other.
The DJ tricked the guys into doing this two-step move where they pointed at their feet and then pointed up in the air, and then he proceeded to play the song "Staying Alive" which drew lots of laughs from the crowd.
The most emotional moment of the night was when the bride's father started to tear up, which made Su cry as she attempted to wipe the tears off her daddy's face.

I wanted to post a photo I took over the weekend at my buddy's house of his two Cotons and his alcohol shelf. They are so cute and the best part is, they bark at most guys except me. They must know I love dogs.
I've been pretty busy lately with retouching photos, shooting the American Montessori Society's conference at the Irvine Hyatt, and shooting a reunion at the Hyatt Regency Orange County. I can't post those photos, so this doggie shot will do.
