nothing but miracles photography

truly, madly, deeply in L O V E

2011-07-21T12:07:00.000-07:00

this right here could be our favorite engagement session to date. these two lovebirds are just ridiculously gorgeous and are madly, deeply in love...and we're head over heels in love with this session <3

laura & kevin's lovely little ponte wedding

2011-07-21T11:49:00.000-07:00

a breathtaking bride, a gorgeous venue, a perfectly blue sky...I mean, what more could we ask for? laura & kevin's vintage-inspired ponte winery wedding was a dream. ponte has been our favorite temecula winery for years, and we were beyond excited when we booked a wedding there. we just loved everything about this day :)

"carry laughter with you wherever you go"

2011-07-21T11:26:00.000-07:00

melissa & jeff are one of those couples whose love & laughter are utterly contagious! since they both have a profound love for theater, we started out the shoot at jeff's theater in downtown fullerton, and then wandered the city. we couldn't love these two more, seriously. their wedding is going to be so full of life, love & contagious laughter. we can't wait!

where there is love, there is life

2011-07-06T21:09:00.000-07:00

vrinda & justin. these two stole our hearts the minute we first met them and did their engagement session. they're gorgeous, they're madly in love, and they remind you of exactly how beautiful and romantic love can be. their san diego cityscape cruise wedding was just to die for! (how many people say they get to go on cruises for their job??) check it out, folks... :)

eat, drink & be married :)

2011-07-06T20:56:00.000-07:00

everything about jaymee & tad's wedding was stunningly unique...just like them. the day started out at a gorgeous historic chapel, which couldn't have been better suited for their scottish themed wedding! jaymee & tad are one of those couples who make you remember how it feels to be overwhelmed by being in love. their passion and love for each other is inexplicably beautiful. here is just a glimpse into their perfect little day...

"a rose by any other name..."

2011-06-29T19:33:00.000-07:00

if peyton rose didn't steal your heart when we posted her newborn session six months ago, she certainly will now! this baby girl could not be ANY more adorable or perfect. wouldn't you agree? we're pretty much in love with her. :)

tyler cristine's fairytale

2011-06-28T19:38:00.000-07:00

our sweet little fairy princess is about to turn two. (where in the heck does the time go???) since she adores princesses and fairytales, what other theme would possibly do? ;)

welcome to tyler's enchanted fairytale...

this particular one makes mommy very proud... ;)

a country vintage kind of love

2011-06-28T19:31:00.000-07:00

bill & jessica are two adorable lovebirds after my own heart with a deep love for country vintage! we had a beautiful afternoon together in the lovely fields and at our family farm in menifee. what a glorious day it was, and what a perfectly sweet couple. can't wait for their wedding! :)

love is an understatement

2011-06-24T16:01:00.000-07:00

well folks, we finally got around to doing a shoot of our own kids! can you believe it? ;) I think the word "love" really is an understatement when it comes to trying to explain the emotions you feel toward your children. nothing compares to the joy and warmth our babies bring to our life. the most precious things in life have no price tags...

"love is the closest thing we have to magic"

2011-06-22T12:21:00.000-07:00

katie & steven's wedding day was breathtaking (as were they!). from katie's fabulous & sexy red stilettos- to the gorgeous sky and the sparkling lake...every last detail of the day was perfect. it was so evident to everyone who shared this special time with them that it was the happiest day of their life. these two are madly in love, and it just doesn't get anymore magical than that! ;)

from such great heights ;)

2011-06-22T11:30:00.000-07:00

meet nick & becca...the tallest (and quite possibly the most model worthy) couple we've ever done a shoot for. I really should have worn my tallest heels that day (haha). ;) we instantly hit it off with them and had a beautiful evening strolling through balboa park. we just LOVE these two, and cannot wait for their wedding!!
"the consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and a richness to life that nothing else can bring." -oscar wilde

ah! young love

2011-06-22T11:09:00.000-07:00

amber & alex are one of those couples who are so adorable that it almost hurts. ;) ahhh, young love...it's a beautiful thing!

a brand new beauty

2011-06-02T12:23:00.000-07:00

meet allie- a perfect little beauty, only days old. there's something about a new baby that brings all of the wonder and amazement of life to the forefront of my mind and spirit. it's nothing short of magical and breathtaking to see such a tiny little bundle of perfection and life. I mean...really. does it get any more beautiful, folks? :)

a year in the life of mason :)

2011-06-02T12:16:00.000-07:00

little baby mason is turning ONE! wait, didn't we just do his newborn pics? wow, time really does fly...as cliche as that sounds! we just love this adorable little dude (and his mommy & daddy are pretty awesome too).

friendship, set on fire

2011-05-31T12:01:00.000-07:00

meet tim & megan, a completely adorable couple who definitely know how to have FUN together! there was just far too much cuteness going on during their engagement shoot. ;) we had such a fabulous time strolling balboa park with these two!
"love is friendship, set on fire"

from this moment...

2011-05-29T10:25:00.000-07:00

ahhh, jami & jeff...a couple after our own hearts! every last detail of their wedding was perfect, and the love they have for each other is beautiful beyond words. ever since we did their engagement session last year, we couldn't wait for their big day. there are some brides you just can't WAIT to work with, and jami was definitely one of them! check out this glorious wedding... :)

a true beauty

2011-05-24T12:05:00.000-07:00

meet justine...a gorgeous high school senior, ready to embark on an exciting new journey! she & her family have been through so much. justine was hospitalized for months with a rare disease that could have taken her life. she's now almost fully recovered and has a whole new lease on life. what a true beauty!

"life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away"

love is in the air!!

2011-05-24T11:26:00.000-07:00

rick & nadia's wedding was the kind that you hoped would never end. there was so much joy and love in the air that it was absolutely contagious! we lost ourselves somewhere between blasting "white wedding" in the bohemian-inspired RV on the way to the reception, the bride & groom pinatas, and their magical exit through a huge line of sparklers. check out this fantastic wedding...

tuesday tip: just have fun

2011-05-10T17:50:00.000-07:00

"okay, on three- everyone look at the camera!" that's so old school...and not in a good way. ;) our fun and candid philosophy holds up in pretty much every circumstance, and leaves you with photos that look and feel real and organic versus posed and forced. wouldn't you like to remember your kids, family and friends how they are in real life? then just let loose and let everyone be themselves. tell jokes, act like kids again, and if kids are your subject, well then just let them be...kids. :)

in the eyes of a child...

2011-05-10T17:21:00.000-07:00

"there are no seven wonders in the eyes of a child- there are seven million"

what a joy it was to see baby cassidy again! we hadn't seen her since we did her newborn shoot- almost a year ago! oh how time flies. isn't she a little cutie patootie? :)

big joy in a little package

2011-05-03T16:40:00.000-07:00

baby deegan has made his arrival...and oh my, is he a precious little one!! what a perfect, beautiful little newborn. (his mommy and daddy aren't bad either!) ;)

to have and hold

2011-05-02T16:50:00.000-07:00

have you ever seen a more perfect day for a wedding as this? we'd like to introduce you to alyson and matt, a couple as beautiful as the day they were married (sorry, that was a bit cheesy...but it's the truth! haha). ;) we had an amazing time capturing this glorious occasion. seriously...our job rocks!

tuesday tip: think outside of the center

2011-04-19T19:15:00.000-07:00

how many of you are desperately trying to keep your life in balance? work, laundry, meals, soccer practice...does it ever end? well, when it comes to photos, take heed...they need not be balanced! our philosophy is that photography should be perfectly imperfect. we love different angles, uncentered subjects, goofy smiles and laughs, etc.

one of the best ways to give your shot more dimension and appeal is to put the subject off center. whether it's a sunset sky, a lovely field...whatever the background might be, moving your subject(s) off to one side is a perfect way to show off the scenery.

as always, here are a couple of examples for your viewing pleasure :)

the best is yet to come...

2011-04-19T11:15:00.000-07:00

meet brett & erin, an adorable couple engaged to be married in cancun this summer. we had such a blast doing their engagement shoot in the beautiful fields. they're both so full of life and love that it's contagious!

tuesday tip: get even

2011-04-12T20:45:00.000-07:00

this tuesday tip is all about getting even...with your subject, that is. :) if you want photos that reflect the spirit and personality of your subject, one important step is to get on their level. this is especially important with children and pets, but if you're photographing adults who are sitting on the ground, typically you (the photographer) should be sitting down as well. it will make the photos more dimensional and will better represent their personality and expression!

as always, here are some examples from previous shoots of ours...

tuesday tip: go candid

2011-04-05T18:15:00.000-07:00

do you love candid photos? so do we! it's what we do, and we'd like to think of it as capturing people how they really are. you won't find artificial poses and fake smiles here folks. ;) the best way to get candid looking smiles and laughs is to simply ask your subject to laugh, do something silly, or tell them a joke (carson is always more than happy to provide cheesy jokes for our clients, haha!). typically when you ask people to laugh, the fake laugh will come first, and then the real laugh (since they'll be laughing at their fake laughs). so wait for the real laughs and smiles and click away!! ;)

"true love stories never have endings"

2011-03-31T19:28:00.000-07:00

meet jessica & shawn, a perfectly lovely couple who just celebrated the biggest day of their life! since we're madly in love with LOVE, it just doesn't get any better for us than capturing a beautiful wedding. the venue (monteleone meadows) was picture perfect...and even though rain (& snow!) were on the forecast that day, the sky cleared and we were left with beautiful sunshine and fluffy white clouds. what more could anyone ask for on their wedding day?? :)

tuesday tip: here's some direction...

2011-03-29T11:04:00.000-07:00

ever wonder which direction is best to take a photo? are you confused about whether you should shoot toward the sun, angled somewhat away from the sun or with your subject looking at the sun? well, we can tell you what WE love and prefer. whenever it's possible, we shoot into the shadow side, meaning we shoot toward (facing) the sun. we know that sounds contrary to common knowledge, especially since most of us grew up with our parents making us squint and face the sun for pictures (not so fun). however, shooting toward the sun makes for a pristine photo...we promise! how else can you get such great dimension and beautiful illumination from the sun? and you certainly can't get this from an artificially lit studio, folks...it's ALL about natural light for us!

there are so many pics we could choose as examples for this, but here are just some of our favs...

ps- we have a natural light home studio in the works (because really, who needs artificial light when natural light is so...well...natural!). anyway, we couldn't be more excited about it. we'll be posting pics of the studio on facebook along the way. :)

love is in the spring air :)

2011-03-28T11:55:00.000-07:00

I don't know if it's possible for a couple to get more gorgeous than this! meet sara & ross. we met sara at the pechanga bridal fair, and she asked us to be her photographers for their wedding next february in COSTA RICA!! could we be any luckier? :) we couldn't be more in love with their engagement shoot...it just might be our favorite. shoot. ever.

kicking off the "tuesday tip"...on a friday ;)

2011-03-25T10:14:00.000-07:00

overcast skies or outdoor shaded areas? go grab your camera!! we know what you're thinking..."that sounds like it would make for a dreary photo!" well, think again friends...these two scenarios actually make for beautifully even lighting! there's little to no guesswork about lighting, or how to avoid shadows that can ruin a photo (since little to no shadows will be involved), or which direction you should shoot (we'll save that last one for next week's tip!).

here are a couple photos from a maternity shoot we did a couple weeks ago on a very overcast afternoon (around 4pm). see how perfect and beautiful the colors and lighting are? oh cloudy sky, how we love thee! :)

...and here's one (from a recent engagement session we did) which was set in full shade. see the vibrant colors and even lighting here?

(oh, and how stylish and gorgeous are these two??)

be sure to tell anyone who is interested in learning more about photography to "like" our fb page so they can get these weekly tips and more! take advantage of things we've learned through both hands on experience and studying as professionals over the years.

2011-03-24T22:23:00.000-07:00

"I see them bloom- for me & you, and I think to myself what a wonderful world."

oh how we love pregnant bellies! and don't even get us started on how adorable it is to see a child so excited to meet their sibling-to-be. little jessey is beyond adorable and is pretty anxious to meet his brother-to-be, deegan. we seriously love this adorable little family! isn't life just...wonderful? :)

to love and be loved...

2011-03-19T21:42:00.000-07:00

fearfully & wonderfully made...

2010-11-30T19:57:00.000-08:00

there is nothing more perfectly beautiful (in our opinion) than a newborn baby. you can't help but be completely in love with those teeny tiny features and eyes filled with brand new wonder. the bond between baby and parents is one that can never be broken. with every day that passes, you grow to love that baby even more than you could have imagined. what a beautiful life :)

it's beginning to look a lot like christmas!

2010-11-30T19:41:00.000-08:00
