Miss L {Santa Clarita Valencia 91355 High School Senior Portrait Photographer}

Just a little Friday eye candy for ya'll!
Miss L is beautiful as is, but she definitely moved into supermodel mode once she had a taste of GLAM : ) 
She wanted something extra special before she made the big leap into college life....I'm so glad she did!  Here's a little taste of the fun we had while she was in the studio:

Isn't she stunning???? I know this beauty will go FAAAAR in life and it was so much fun getting to know her!!!

Miss B {Santa Clarita Valencia 91355 Portrait Photographer}

I had the pleasure of taking photos of this sweet little graduate!  Yes, I am behind in posting as we are nearing the beginning of the school year, but I just had to get these up and show the world!  She is darling and such a sweetie.  That pink grad gown just tops it all off : )

 

Miss A {Santa Clarita Valencia 91355 Glamour Photographer}

 Miss A came into my studio a few weeks ago to get a makeover and some headshots for her growing biz and social media.  She's a very accomplished woman and I was honored to help her with her need of beautiful photographs.  She's easy on the eyes, so it's no wonder all of her pictures are just stunning.

Happy Tuesday!

Ms. B - {Santa Clarita Valencia 91355 Glamour Photographer}

Meet Ms. B.  She's a momma to A LOT of kids...I want to say 5?  Anyway, I just remember she's juggling a career and a family all at once!  Ms. B, AKA Superwoman!  She came in for a makeover (click here to see her Before & After) and to get some new head shots for her business.  I wanted to share a few with you since they turned out so beautifully.

Ms. A {Santa Clarita Valencia 91355 Glamour Photographer}

Let me start out by saying how behind I am in keeping up with my posts!!! I've been incredibly busy - in a GOOD way - and have been trying to balance everything that's been going on.  It's not easy being a wife and momma, photographer to so many wonderful people, running my ROCKIN' Nerium business and keep up with my blog!!!  Phew!  I hope you can forgive my randomness but enjoy the lovely pictures : )

As soon as Ms. A walked in the door I knew we were going to have a fabulous shoot.  Isn't she beautiful?  Sweet as can be, too.  

 She let us get creative with her and stick her in one of the frou frou skirts I have in the studio to really glam it up.  I love how everything turned out!

 Want to see more?  Watch the slideshow on my homepage to see a few more of Ms. A or check out her "before" picture here.

Ms. S {Santa Clarita Valencia Glamour Photographer 91355}

As soon as Ms. S walked into my studio, I knew my hair/make-up artist and I were in for a treat.  Although she didn't have a drop of make-up on, I knew that we could transform her into the glamorous woman that was in there somewhere!  Don't you think she is a Selma Hayek look-alike?  I think she's more beautiful than Selma, actually.  

 Before we started our shoot she mentioned that she has never gotten a professional portrait taken of herself before, other than back in grade school.  This woman should have been on magazine covers, right????  I'm just happy I got to be the first one to give her the experience of a lifetime!

Valentine's Day Special - Part 2: The Beauties {Santa Clarita Valencia 91355 Portrait Photographer}

If you haven't seen what I did with the cute kids that came in for my Valentine's Day special, you can read about it here.  These beautiful ladies came in for the same deal, but I thought they needed their own post!  

Aren't they lovely?  They were my breath of fresh air in between all of the kiddos! Don't get me wrong, I looooove the kids but every once in a while, an easy adult just makes me a happy girl. 

I've got lots of great posts coming up!  Can't wait to show what I've been up to lately......

Happy Monday : ) 

A Chuck Kinda Wedding {Santa Clarita Valencia 91355 Wedding Photographer}

Meet M & C.  Talk about an awesome couple.  M is obviously beautiful but also super sweet and a talented hair and makeup artist!  That's what I call a triple-threat!  C is totally laid back and real.  And together they are all smiles!  I loved how they couldn't help but laugh with each other whenever they were together.

These were taken at a beach in Carlsbad, Ca...Thanksgiving weekend (can you guess what I was thankful for???).  Perfect weather?  Check.  Beautiful surroundings?  Check.  Adorable couple?  Check.  Easy peasy.   

Next, of course, came the BIG day.  I'm such a sucker for black & white weddings and once I finished processing these I couldn't help but LOVE every single one in b&w.

The Wedding & Reception was held at a beautiful Golf Resort in Carlsbad.  The girls got ready in the Bridal Suite and the guys did their own thing in, well, the guy's room.  The thing I loved about this wedding was that everyone in the Bridal Party had a pair of Chucks.  Each with their name embroidered on the back.  LOVE it!  

Did I mention that day turned out to be one of the coldest days of the year?  Yikes!  Everyone was freezing but put up with the cold so that I could get some shots of everyone together.

 

 They had a classic big white tent for their Reception.  Simple yet elegant.  I loved the giant lanterns, and the Bride & Groom Cake Pops were just darling.

They had one table dedicated to the kids at the reception.  It was decked out with candy and all kinds of fun treats and toys.  One of the things they got in their swag bags were temporary tattoo sleeves to match the Groom.  Once they got them on they couldn't wait to show C and get a picture taken.  Aren't they adorable???

Alas, it was finally time for the newlyweds to call it a night.  I just love weddings and was thrilled to be part of theirs!

Make it work! {Santa Clarita Valencia 91355 Portrait Photographer}

Being a natural light photographer, I do what I can to avoid artificial light if possible.  In MY perfect world the sun would stay just above the horizon and I'd have gorgeous light alllllll day long.  Lovely.  Clearly that's just not reality and sometimes when you are having so much fun photographing your beautiful sisters you don't want to stop....even if the sun decides to call it quits on your photo shoot!  

So where did we go?  The mater bathroom!  Granted, this bathroom was huge and beautiful and clean : )  Lights, camera, action!  We grabbed a couch cushion and away we went.  One lace-y top.  One setup.  Two beauties.  I think we made it work quite well, don't you think?  In cases like these it's best to open the aperture (f/stop) of the camera as wide as you can.  In other words, the lower the number, the better!  This will help blur your background and allow you to shoot in areas that you don't want to showcase.

I love these girls.  They let me do whatever I thought we needed to do, even when it came to laying on the bathroom floor!  Make it work!  You can do it!
