2018 Santa Experience video

Don’t waste your time at the mall waiting for 20 seconds with Santa! Give your child an experience they won’t forget! This year’s “Santa Experience” will be taking place at Gilmore Studios in Costa Mesa. Santa will be popping in to decorate gingerbread houses with your little one! We will have a replica set of Santa’s North Pole kitchen in the studio. As your child interacts with Santa, we will be snapping away, capturing Christmas keepsakes to be enjoyed for years to come!

This baptism session was extra special because we have known the family awhile. The baptism took place in a beautiful church on Balboa Island.
• The sacred space adds so much meaning to the portraits.
• Including details like the font, stained glass, and family prayer moments makes the photos timeless.
• And of course, we always capture family groupings because this day is about legacy as much as it is about your little one.

For twin cake smashes, I create one cohesive set that works beautifully for both. We start with family and sibling photos, then photograph the twins together before it is time for cake. Outfit changes are a great way to add variety without switching sets. This way, parents get a gallery that feels polished and cohesive while still showing each child’s personality.

🌈 The Rainbow Luncheon is one of our favorite NCL events to photograph — a celebration of every hour, every project, every moment these senior girls gave back to their community from 7th–12th grade.

It’s more than a luncheon, it’s a legacy.

At two years old, most kids have endless energy, and that’s completely normal. The key is to work with it, not against it. For this Sesame Street birthday session, we kept the backdrop fun and colorful, encouraged play, and let her personality shine. The result? A gallery that feels authentic, joyful, and true to this stage of life.

Pro Tip for Parents:
Choose a theme your child loves. Their excitement helps keep them engaged and gives you photos that capture their personality at this exact age.
