Tea & Talk VII: Manhattan Beach Library Photographer

I love details. Whether it’s a portrait session and my client is wearing fun rings or hair clips, or it’s a wedding and I’m surrounded by bouquets, shoes, jewelry, and dresses OR it’s the first day of school and there’s crayons, scissors, books, and backpacks I could photograph them for *hours*… I’m not kidding. I...

Scooter Race: Hawthorne Lifestyle Photographer

“Wear a cape and ride a scooter down the hall.” That was one of the things Mr. Anderson wanted to do after he started working at Da Vinci. Instead of just riding a scooter, he challenged the principal to a race. Epic much? How did I get so blessed to work at a place that...

I freaking LOVE how serious Mr. Anderson is about it.. he has a cape AND A TIE.. and his face.. AHH! I want to come visit!! Haha!! This makes me want to be a teacher again. LOL

[...] funny how things change in a year. Last week I walked in to the principal’s office at Da Vinci and handed Steve flyers to give to the class of 2013, next year I have the opportunity [...]

[...] people. Molly is one of those amazing people. She teaches in the classroom right next door to my favorite teacher, and I just love her! During lunch a few months ago we started planning her session. Molly is an [...]

Ashley & Stephen: Malibu Engagement Photographer

She spent her first year at University studying Pharmaceutical Sciences, a pretty challenging major, so challenging in fact that by the close of that year she considered changing majors. After spending a considerable amount of time contemplating a switch, she finally caved and admitted she knew God wanted her in that major. Her second year...

Not My Cup of Tea: personal

I’d never consider summer to be my favorite season. Don’t get me wrong, I love the long days that come with summer and I love the morning sunshine, but fall is my love. Scarves, boots, cups of coffee, it’s like heaven. But there is definitely something special about summer, too. A few summers ago I...

And fall is when the leaves change colour… maple leaves in particular… all sorts of pretty shades of red. <3

[...] a life, even if that just means closing my laptop and watching a few episodes of LOST every night. I’ve blogged before about hardly remembering the Stacee I used to be, and at this 6 month mark the Stacee I used to be is, once again, starting to become a distant [...]

Terri & Henry: Lomita Engagement Photographer

Terri and Henry go to my church, and I love them. They announced earlier this year that they would be getting married and most people, myself included, didn’t even know they had been dating! Since their announcement they have, hands down, been the cutest couple at church. When we sat down to talk about their...
