Frozen Elsa Costume {Santa Clarita Valencia Photographer}

Here is my little Miss J.  She chose to be Elsa for Halloween this year...along with many, many other little girls!  I finished up a shoot one day and thought it would be fun for us to to do a practice run with her costume.  So with a little of Mommy's makeup and a wig we transformed this little lady into an Ice Queen! 

She had a crown from her dress-up stash that we ended up using, spite the missing gem!  I still think she looked adorable and know that she LOVED looking like Elsa!  Her fave part of it all?  The cape!

  This one ended up being my favorite shot! The wig we ended up using was actually a "Tangled" wig....all of the Elsa wigs were sold out!  We just did a side braid and called it good : )

Where I got everything:

Main Costume: Party City

Tangled Wig: Walmart

Snow "Cape" fabric: Joanne's Fabric

Baby C {Santa Clarita Valencia 91355 Newborn Photographer}

My sweet baby girl has arrived!  She was about one week old when my mom and I decided to do a quick, impromptu shoot with my sleepy baby.  She has truly been an angel baby.  Here are a few of my faves:

 Big sister couldn't resist being part of the shoot!  She grabbed a flower and jumped in...I had to get a shot of that beautiful face : )

I can't believe she's already 8 weeks old!  I have more darling pics to post of this smiley blue-eyed baby from our recent trip to Toronto!!!  Soon to come..........

R & C Wedding {Santa Clarita Valencia 91355 Wedding Photographer}

April 26, 2014 is a special day for my brother and his new wife!
They were married and sealed for eternity in the Los Angeles LDS Temple in Santa Monica.  They had SO much support and love from friends and family.

It was a treat to photograph this special day for them, even though I was almost 34 weeks pregnant and larger than life!!! LOL.  I'm normally a sucker for black and white wedding photos I couldn't give up the colors with these ones.
I am so happy for this sweet couple and can't wait to see how their future together unfolds : ) 

 A sweet ending to an amazing day!!!

R & C Engagement Part II {Santa Clarita Valencia 91355 Wedding Photographer}

Sooooo shoot #1 was for their wedding invitation and to have some pictures of them to display at the reception...this shoot was to show off their fancy traditional Chinese outfits. My Brother's Fiance is from China, and had these made for them there.  Only the best!!!  

Growing up in Santa Clarita, I've never really seen or known about traditional Chinese weddings, so it was really cool to learn more about it.  Red and Gold are a timeless tradition, and made for a beautiful dress for the bride-to-be.  

Here are a few of my faves from the shoot:

The Wedding images are up next : )

R & C Engagement Part I {Santa Clarita Valencia 91355 Wedding Photographer}

 I have been terribly behind on posting some of my latest work!!!  I guess moving, helping plan a wedding, shoots, and being preggo has gotten the best of me this year.

Now that all of that is over I actually have time to process my thoughts!  
I wanted to share a few of these engagement photos with you.  Although every couple I photograph is special, this one is close to my heart because it's my brother and his sweet fiance!  I was thrilled when they had me photograph them during this special time.

Here are a few of their favorite photos from the shoot:

Part II of their shoot will be revealed shortly!!!

Mr. B {Santa Clarita Valencia Portrait Photographer 91355)

Meet Mr. B!

He's an up and coming business owner who came in for some headshots to use for business cards, ads, etc.  I'm SO looking forward to seeing how his print material comes out with the images he chose.

 This one is my personal fave.

"Lora, thanks for my pictures! I really enjoyed the comfortable setting. I’ve taken professional pictures in the past and the result is usually pretty square. I feel that your recommendations really captured my personality and I’m happy with the final results. Thanks again!" - Mr. B

  Yay for happy clients!!! : )

F Family {Santa Clarita Valencia Portrait Photographer 91355}

I think it's safe to say I've known this family since I was in 7th grade!!!  I can't believe how the years have past...  

I was thrilled to take some family portraits of them when they asked!  They are all gorgeous so they made my job really easy : )

I brought them to one of my favorite spots in Santa Clarita and had fun with them while they enjoyed those cute babes of theirs : )

 Cousins.  Seriously ADORBS.

This momma is a trooper!!! Clearly she's got a FRESH babe in one arm and can still manage to play best bud to her cutie pa-tootie little man in the other arm.  I cannot get over that smile of his!!!
