OpLove – Another S Family! Temecula California Portrait Photographer

January 12, 2010 – 12:03 am

Ok, first of all – I am convinced that I attract people with the last name S! I don’t know what it is, but they all come to me. It sure makes it difficult when I label the posts – I have like 79 S families and you can only introduce them so many ways. Ok, that’s a slight exaggeration on how many, but you get the point!

Anyway, we met up and got some adorablely awesome photos that they’ll get to send to C’s hubby overseas.

Firstly – doesn’t J just make you want to laugh out loud? If you don’t at least smile a little you have no soul, I’m convinced!

And little B, he was too cute for words!

It was a joy to photograph you and your kiddos – and thank you B for your service!

The S Family, Temecula Family Portrait Photographer

September 10, 2009 – 10:22 pm

The S family is another OpLove family that I have had the pleasure to photograph at Harveston in Temecula. L contacted me shortly before J was scheduled to deploy, and I am so glad we were able to get together and capture these beautiful photos.

Thank you, J, for your service. We’ll be praying for your safety during your deployment.

A dogwash for charity! Temecula pet photographer

July 25, 2009 – 1:34 am

Last week the Temecula Dogtopia hosted a charity fundraiser to benefit the Murrieta Police Department K9 Unit. I was able to attend as a vendor and display my work. It was very busy, and ended up being VERY successful! Over $1200 was raised, it was great! I brought along Odie to hang out with me during the day. He was such a gentleman, which is why he didn’t understand why we made him get a bath at the end of the day. It’s for charity, Odie!

How could you not love Odie after seeing this photo?

OpLove: J & his dog: Huntington Beach Portrait Photographer

May 31, 2009 – 5:04 pm

I recently met K on a message board that I participate in. She and her hubby J both serve in the military and she is currently deployed while J is working at home. This OpLove session was a little bit different for me, as I meet mostly women who are at home while their hubby’s are deployed overseas. It was refreshing, though, and I respect both J & K so much for their lives of service!

J & I met up at Huntington Dog Beach. The weather was nice and overcast, and it was perfect for our shoot! J said that his wife would be pretty surprised to see that their pup was running and jumping in the water – I guess R previously wasn’t a big fan of the water when she had left. Well, by looking at the photos, you would never have guessed that!
