I haven’t posted a picture of our little girl in a while. Eve is three months old now, cute as ever.

Little Eve
Matt&Jenny……Married
It has been so crazy busy for me this past month that I have really let my blogging slide. I am really excited to post this wedding though. It has to be one of my favorites so far this year. It was all shot on the grounds of the San Juan Capistrano Mission This was my third time shooting there and it is always so beautiful. Matt and Jenny were very fun to work with. They laughed and danced the whole day. It was so fun to watch.
Jenny getting ready and putting on the final touches.


Matt chill’n with his buddies before the ceremony


James Dean, reincarnated

Matt and Jenny really know how to rock the shades


This is one of my favorites of the day


The beautiful reception

I had a blast at this one!!!!
Josephine & Patrick………Married
Wow, I have been shooting so much lately and it is only going to get crazier next month. Needless to say I have fallen behind on blogging my recent weddings.
I am really excited about this post though.The pictures that I created with Josephine and Patrick are better than I could have hoped for. Temperatures on the day of their wedding were in the triple digits, but they tuffed it out and we all ended up having a great time together.
First up a shot of Josephine at the hotel before the ceremony.

I love this shot of Josephine getting onto the elevator.

She was so smiley all day long.

It was so hot outside that we tried to stay in the hotel as much as possible. This forced me to bust out my ninja lighting skills and come up with killer shots like this one.

But we did make it outside for a couple shots in the veranda out by the pool.

I think this is one of my favorite shots of the day. I told Josephine to put on her sexy/serious supermodel face and she worked it.

And finally a couple detail shots of the beautiful cake and rings.
It was a hot one but we got through it with flying colors. Thanks to Josephine and Patrick for having so much faith in me. I wish you both the best.
Eve Continued…..
Just thought I would throw up some more pictures of Eve. She is 5 weeks old now and growing like crazy. Kim and I are having such a great time with her.
Here she at about 5 days old.

Like most new moms Kim has been devouring every baby book she can get her hands on.

I always end up taking pictures of her while she is laying on the changing table. The light coming in from the window is always so beautiful.

A typical face of hers.

I just took this one last week. Look at those beautiful eyes!

Tyler and Sandra……Married
This is a wedding from last month that I had not had a chance to blog yet. Tyler and Sandra were such a cool couple to work with. It always makes me so excited to shoot a wedding when I know that the couple has total confidence in me. This was definitely the case with Tyler and Sandra. We had a great time shooting around Huntington Beach, and the surrounding areas. Thanks for such a great time guys.








Good times were had by all…Cheers
Tommy & Erica………E-Session
Last Saturday I had the pleasure of meeting up with Tommy and Erica at the Farmers Market in Los Angeles. Fun times were had by all and Tommy and Erica were a joy to work with. Erica is all smiles and you can tell that her bond with Tommy is a strong one. P.S. the Farmers Market is the bomb. If you like lots of different choices of amazing food all at your fingertips, then this is the place for you.






Really looking forward to their wedding later this summer. Cheers
Tyler and Cali……E-Session
Tyler and I go way back. We were roommates back in college and have kept in touch ever since. I was excited to find out that he was going to be living out here this summer and even more excited when he asked me to take his engagement photos. His fiance Cali was down from Utah for the week so found a time while she was out here and we had a blast. I live in the city of Orange, and I love it because there are so many great places to shoot so close to home. For this E-Session we went over to Chapman University.






Lets go back in time…..
All the way back to 2 weeks ago while Kim was still pregnant. It was tuesday afternoon, the 20th of May and Kim had been having small contractions throughout the day. She was really feeling like the baby was coming soon, so we decided to have one final meal as a family of 2 and off we went. After dinner I noticed that the light was really nice and remembering that we had not had a proper portrait session of Kim as a soon to be Mom, we decided that this as going to be our last shot. (no pun intended) So we headed around downtown Orange and the following pictures are what we came up with. Kim was a real trooper during the whole shoot and did everything that I asked. Now, onto the photos.
This one is right outside of our apartment.








Eve Lee Day….Born….5-21-08….7lbs….19.5 inches….really stink’n cute!
Words cannot express how happy Kim and I are. The past couple days have been teaming with every emotion in the book. To witness the birth of your own child is a miracle to behold. I am so proud of Kim and the amazing job she did throughout her labor. All of the nurses and doctors kept commenting how calm and relaxed she was through out the whole thing. For those of you who have not had the pleasure of meeting my wife, she is one of the most laid back and positive people you will ever know. We could not have asked for a better pregnancy and delivery. Mom and baby have been healthy all the way through and we are so happy to finally have our little Betty here with us. Thank you so much to all of our friends and family that have offered prayers and support on our family’s behalf these past 9 months. Now on with the pictures!!!!!!
Here is Kim towards the end of her labor, happy and excited to see her new little girl.

The fetal heart monitor, showing those contractions getting longer, stronger and closer together.

I didn’t pick up my camera again until after the birth because I was helping/coaching Kim so the next picture that I took was little Eve weighing in at 7lbs even.

Mom and baby, enjoying their first quite moment together.

About 5 hours after birth, still a little swollen, but cute as ever.

Austin, my brother, getting the hang of what it feels like to be a 1st time uncle.





This is by far my favorite picture that I have taken of Kim and Eve thus far. I love my girls!!!!!

Thanks everyone, more pictures to follow in the coming days, including some shots form the maternity session that I did with Kim the day she went into Labor!
New BABY!!!!
Hello everyone. Yesterday on May 21, my beautiful wife Kim gave birth to our precious daughter, Eve Lee Day. 7 lbs 19 1/2 inches. We are so happy, Baby and Mom are doing great. Plenty of pictures to follow soon!
Cheers,
Carson
