Gizmo & Ziggy- Doggie Portraits!

Howdy Everyone!
Well Saturday was such a blast! An old friend from High School has been looking at pictures of Beau and called me up to set something up for her babies, her doggies lol. We meet up Saturday at our "new" location lol and got to shooting. Her little Gizmo, the oh so tiny, 14 pound, almost as tall as Beau, Pomerian; was so bossy and wordy...He had words to say to all the animals, trees, shadows and horses...he definitely didnt let Beau get to close to his mama lol. Then there was the goofy, thinks he's tiny, 80lb Golden, Ziggy! Totally not realizing his size, came running to me lol, liked my camera lense and just flopped in the tall grass. After we did our Shoot, Beau was finally able to run and play with his new friends, Ziggy and Gizmo. Seeing them run and jump through the tall grass was so cute and poor little Gizmo...he didnt have the leaps like Beau so he could barely get through the grass. So Cute! Yoly and Esther are wonderful sisters and they love their puppies. Thank you both for letting us capture them and for our Doggie Play Date! We had a great time and Beau was definitely tuckered out! Thanks again you two!

Taylor- HS Senior Portraits

Yesterday was so awesome!!!

We met up with Taylor and her mama, Bonnie, at their home in Rancho. We got the small talk in and then headed down to the Coto Stables! They wanted to get some shots of her and her horsey, since Taylor rides.......her horse was GORGEOUS! It took us forever to open the barn door to get him out of his stall. We tried and tried and finally I was able to use my small tiny strength to at least get it half way open. Bonnie went and got a helping hand to only find out that the door IS actually broken and we need to get him out from the back.........lol good times. We got some great shots of her with the horsey and then packed him back in his wonderful hard to open stall ;) and then headed down to THE LOCATION of ALL LOCATIONS! Vic and Beau joined us on this one, since Vic was my driver for the day lol. We got there and my jaw just droped at how gorgeous the light was hitting the field and tree, I just wanted to jump and do cart wheels! lol. With all our props, chair, cushion, vintage suitcases, we traveled down a bit.....a nice work out lol. We got some fabulous pictures with Taylor in the field...it was very Country Artist Inspiring!! On our way out we did one last photo.......with Beau, OH HOW HE LOVES HIS LADIES! Taylor was awesome at posing and just a natural! Her mom was awesome too for helping me with my lens bag lol and with Taylor's different Outfits. Ladies, I had such a great time, thank you for a terrific SATURDAY! You guys were so great and GORGEOUS! Thank you.............enjoy!

This Weekend's Adventure.....Orange County Photography

Good Evening Everyone!!!
Well this weekend was definitely an Adventure! We had planned to go scouting for new locations on Saturday while take Beau hiking....seriously, the minuet we had packed the back pack, got the keys, and turned the door knob to go to the car, Vic's work phone rang. He received a call and he had to go into to work. For those of you that dont know, Vic still works a full time job and was On-Call this past weekend. So, we unpacked everything and he headed off to work, leaving me and Beau to wait an other day for hiking and scouting. It was ok, because we still had a great Saturday!!
Sunday, we forgot about the time change....apparently your body doesnt get the memo about that because you have to FORCE it hehe. So we didnt get to make it to Church Service this morning; instead we packed up the back pack, made some lunch and headed down to go Hike and Scout!! I was really excited, we ended up on Crown Valley up in the hills and stopped off at what looked like a hiking trail. Little did we know it was an Off Road Hang Out for youngin's lol. So we trecked around a bit and ofcorse, accident prone ME, my foot fell not once, not twice but THREE TIMES in puddles of mud! lol. By the time we got back to the car, I was dirtier than Beau lol. We then traveled through to Laguna and found the most beautiful location I have ever seen, I felt like I was in The Sound Of Music. It was gorgeous and I cannot wait to take my HS Seniors here....AWESOME!!! Anyway, that was our weekend, filled with fun and happiness. Here are some great shots of Beau, Flowers and ofcorse......My MUDDY Shoes....enjoy everyone!!
