Favorite Images of 2010

Wow, there are less than 5 hours left of 2010! I feel like time keeps flying by faster each year...don't you? It was fun browsing through all of my images from 2010 as I pulled a few out to share with you all. Some of these never made it to the blog, but you may remember seeing a few of them. Here are my "Favorite Images of 2010" (in NO particular order):

Augustus Family | OC Family Photographer

Kaz and Shelley have a beautiful family! Those girls are going to have the guys lining up for dates in a few years! And sweet Hunter, the only boy...such a good kid and rounds out the family nicely! We were lucky to have a break in some rain and met over at Huntington Central Park for their session...they made my job easy and it was a lot of fun hanging out with them! Here's a peek at their session:

Marilyn Monroe as Theda Bara in Cleopatra by Richard Avedon 1958

via

Richard Avedon (May 15, 1923 – October 1, 2004) was an American fashion and portrait photographer. An obituary published in The New York Times said that "his fashion and portrait photographs helped define America's image of style, beauty and culture for the last half-century."

Marilyn Monroe (born Norma Jeane Mortenson; June 1, 1926 – August 5, 1962) was an American actress, model, and singer, who became a major sex symbol, starring in a number of commercially successful motion pictures during the 1950s and early 1960s.

matt + sheri + dex + baby bump | OC Family, Baby Photographer

I love these guys! Sheri wanted some family shots, and also wanted some showing her belly (baby #2 is due in January!) and some of Dex since he just turned 1! We seriously RAN (and Sheri was in heels!) all over to chase the light because it was getting dark fast, but it was fun and I think we got some really cute ones... Here's a peek for ya:

I LOVE Dex's cute little profile in this pic...SO adorable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

handsome little man | OC Newborn Baby Photographer

Meet Treven...baby boy #5 to my friend Jaclyn! Such a sweet little guy! Jaclyn was a trooper and we shot my first ever session in my little apartment! Luckily I get pretty good light reflected off the building next to us, so I think it all worked out OK! You would NEVER know that we were in my messy living room, right?? :) That is the beauty of newborn photography...you can pretty much create a studio anywhere!

Ok...on to this beautiful baby boy! Enjoy a glimpse at a little angel fresh from heaven...

I guess those puckered lips run in the family!  See his brother making the same face HERE.

Hope you like them Jaclyn!  Thank you for letting me experience Treven for a little while!

Baby "C" is 1 !!! | OC Baby Photographer

It's hard to believe that a year has gone by since this little girl was born! I love her red hair, sweet little button nose, and her two bottom teeth! She is simply adorable and I especially love the cute brown corduroy dress and striped tights! Dressing a little girl must be so much fun! :) Here's a peek at her mini-session:
