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.

What a night!
The Assistance League Newport Mesa Ball was all the best things — beautiful, lively, and full of so many people coming together for a good cause. The dresses were gorgeous too!
It’s always such an honor to capture an event that does so much good for our community.
Thank you for letting me press pause on this night, so you can remember how special it really was.

Celebrating L + E! Their engagement party was full of sweet moments, laughter, and the kind of little glances that remind you what it’s all about.
They really do bring out the best in each other and that’s my favorite thing to capture. L’s parents went above and beyond to make it a memorable day for them

✨ Ever wondered what a metal print looks like?
This video is a quick peek at one of my favorite ways to print your images.
Bold, vibrant, and ready to hang…metal prints make your photos stand out in the best way.
Your memories deserve to live on your walls, not just your phone.

A lot of parents don’t realize how sweet (and practical!) a quick tub session can be. Not only does it help clean up all that frosting, but babies love it — the splashes and giggles make for some of the cutest photos from the whole session.
It’s the perfect way to end on a happy note, with fresh, squeaky-clean memories to go with the messy ones! It’s just water - so make sure to give a real bath once you get home 😃

Here’s my secret…don’t fight it. You play, you laugh, you follow their lead.
The best photos happen when everyone’s relaxed, a little bit silly, and free to be themselves.
Real is what you’ll want to remember later.
