Jennifer was a debutante herself from grades 7-12 in Newport Beach so we were honored to become the main photographer in the chapter she grew up in. Every year since 2004, we have photographed this chapter’s Rainbow Luncheon and Tea, Fashion Show, Father/Daughter Tribute, the Debutante Ball, and 30+ senior portrait sessions each year. Here is the 2018 Newport Beach Debutante Ball featured in the LA Times/Daily Pilot. 2016 also was published in the Daily Pilot/Los Angeles Times. The 2015 NCL Ball was featured in the Newport Indy. The 2014 ball was featured in the LA Times. Here is the 2013 ball featured in the OC Register.
We have also been honored to photograph many other chapters of National Charity League as well as Assistance League and Las Madrecitas (Las Ninas).
2016 was our first year with the Las Madrecitas (Las Ninas) charity group. This event was featured in the Daily Breeze and the Palos Verdes Peninsula News. We just photographed this year’s Nas Ninas rose ceremony and fashion show and can’t wait for the next Evergreen Ball! Las Madrecitas is an auxiliary of the Charitable Children’s Guild of the Orthopædic Institute for Children in Los Angeles. For more info about this amazing charity, please visit their website.
The Newport-Mesa chapter started back in 1940! They are the 3rd largest chapter in the country. We have worked with the Newport-Mesa chapter for a few years now. Here is an article about the 2015 ball featured in the Newport Beach Indy. For more info about this great organization, visit the Newport Mesa Assistance League.

We have a half-acre garden located in Newport Beach where we do portrait sessions. There is a gazebo, bridge, rocks, and trees. It is a beautiful setting for a debutante session. We are also able to go to other locations. If you want to be photographed with your horse, we will come to you. If you want to go to the beach, no problem! Let us know what you are thinking.
Yes. If your chapter is not local to Newport Beach, we can come to a location of your choice on one designated day to photograph all the seniors. We can bring a backdrop or use the location scenery of your choice.
Yes. We will shoot full length as well as close up. We will also photograph the back of the dress with debutante looking over her shoulder.

Is the Santa Experience worth it? Here is what I see every year.
Kids who walk in unsure and leave glowing. Parents who say it felt excited and personal. And families who come back year after year because it becomes a tradition.
Your favorite people all in one place.
The wedding party deserves its own moment. These are the friends and family who have been there through every season of life, cheering you on and keeping things fun along the way.

Worried your child might be shy with Santa? Here is what helps most. . Kids do best when they feel safe and unhurried. That is why the Santa Experience gives them space to warm up, look around, and connect at their own pace.
If you want your wedding day photos to feel natural and connected, spend time with your photographer before the big day. The comfort shows.
Alex and Bryndis trusted the process and were completely at ease, which made the entire day unfold beautifully on camera. Comfort matters more than anything.

A mermaid theme is always adorable, but here is something parents sometimes forget. Make sure you hop into a few photos at the start. You will treasure those images so much more than you realize right now.
If you are planning a cake smash, my biggest tip is to take family photos before the cake comes out. Your baby is rested, curious and happy, and you get those sweet moments before things get messy.
What theme would your little one choose at this stage?
