I had a lot of fun shooting Christine & Matthews Winter Wedding at the Hills Hotel in Laguna Beach, Ca. They are such a cool, fun couple! They are super relaxed, personable, treated my like a friend instead of hired help, and so fun to shoot! They always seem excited, especially about pictures which makes […]

What can I say about this sweet and lovely couple Kelly and Ryan Whelan!? Natalie Good, with A Good Affair Wedding and Event Production, introduced me to this nice couple and knew we would be a great match! After an engagement shoot and boudoir session, I knew this couple well by the wedding date which […]

I have been on a bit of a blogging hiatus due to technical difficulties and traveling this summer for some amazing destination weddings. I thought this 2 part wedding would be the perfect wedding to blog about to get back into the swing of things. As you can tell my images are small, so still […]

Family Shoot at Fullerton Arboretum

admin — Sun, 01 Jul 2012 20:45:22 +0000

I have been shooting this family for over 8 years now. Veronica’s parents happen to be my old neighbors and I have become their family photographer. I shot Veronica and Daniels Orange County wedding a few years ago and now they have a little one, so family shoots are next of course. This shoot was shot at the Fullerton Arboretum. I was personally married there over 12 years ago, so I most obviously LOVE shooting there. It is gorgeous for family, engagement shoots, bride and grooms, etc. A wonderful shoot, at a wonderful place, with a wonderful family! Thank you for the continued support in my photography work. I look forward to watching Dominic grow up!

Angel’s Stadium Engagement Shoot

admin — Tue, 26 Jun 2012 00:57:12 +0000

I LOVE shooting at the Angel’s Stadium, this is my second engagement shoot and my couples rent out the entire stadium for an hour. This Fall I will shoot a huge Angel fan family for their Christmas cards. It is super harsh sun shooting there with very little shade and you are on a time crunch, but it is such a fun, colorful, and absolute unique engagement shoot to do. You sort of have to know someone to rent the stadium as they do not advertise it, but they do it! I really had a great time shooting this. The grooms absolutely LOVE shooting here. My first groom actually did a cart-wheel on the grass he was so excited, I had never had a more excited groom and huge Angel’s fan!

Congrats to my long time childhood friends Amber & Matt from Corey Elementary school in Buena Park, Ca. I have known these two for over 20 years. The grooms Mom drove my school bus growing up. I am of course honored to be standing in front of them on this special day. Amber and Matt are to be wed in August, and their lovely wedding will be held at The Turnip Rose in Orange County, California! I know this will be a fun time as Matt is a blast and was actually chosen as “Class Clown” our senior year…..hehehehe!

Orange County Rooftop and Bar Engagement

admin — Fri, 01 Jun 2012 21:46:20 +0000

Welcome to my new custom blog, where images are larger and each blog is thumnailed, so you can see more blog entries per page. I am still working out a lot of little kinks, but much better then the blogger blog I had with very small images and limited tools. I hope you enjoy it!

Congrats to Kelly and Ryan on their engagement and upcoming November Wedding in Orange County at Casa Romantica. I have the honor of shooting this super sweet couples wedding with Natalie at A Good Affair as the coordinator, which always makes for an amazing wedding.

An extra big Thank You to David Tosti with Tosti Studios for shooting this engagement shoot for me. David and I have shot weddings together for over 5 years and he is one of the best. His style has always been very complimentary to mine. David has a more masculine and edgy take to his wide style of shooting. I tend to be more feminine and romantic and love close-up. David has always made my weddings look that much better and he is super cool to work with. I don’t typically feature other photographers on my blog, but considering these are my clients and timing coupled with traveling did not allow me to do their engagement shoot, so I put them with one of the best and knew they would have a great time!

As you can tell by the images below, David has a way of making the couple look like they just stepped into the pages of a magazine. He mixes edgy with funky, but he also catches details, real moments, and the couple as they really are. I Love this shoot as it is a great mixture. Engagement shoots are great to me when they have a mixture of it all. This rooftop and bar engagement shoot certainly makes for a unique engagement that is not cookie cutter or like everyone else’s. Great job David!

Family Photo Shoot at Fullerton Park, Orange County

admin — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 22:52:03 +0000

I have blogged so many photo shoots at this small park in Fullerton, California! It seems like most of my blogs have been here at this park lately, as I do mini shoot days here every few months and do 6-8 photo shoots back to back in one day. I have shot hundreds of shoots at this small secluded park and I know it now like the back of my hand. It is a great natural setting for family, pregnancy, engagement, and I have even shot many wedding shoots here. The park is rustic and often over grown and there is never anybody there. Enjoy this photo shoot of a long term client, I have shot every member of their family by now over the passed 8 years. Their kids are so stinkin’ cute that it was easy to capture great moments. I prefer to shoot candid, although I love stylized shoots too, but my personal style has always been to capture a family in their home or a natural setting and let the kids be themselves and the family sit together and capture what happens when they interact. Makes for great memories and real candid pictures to be cherished for decades to come.

Engagement Shoot at the Park, Orange County

admin — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 22:29:51 +0000

I know I always say this, but I LOVE this couple! Congrats to Matthew and Christine on your engagement and upcoming December wedding, I know it is going to be awesome! We had a great time doing this photo shoot of them in a secluded rustic park in Fullerton, California. This is a simple “mini” engagement shoot that I offer to my couples at half price every couple of months. I shoot in one location and do back to back photo shoots and I happen to love shooting at this park. We had a great sushi dinner afterward and got to know one another, we had a great time doing their day of timeline. I can’t wait for December, they have such great taste I know it is going to be amazing.

Happy Planning!

My Family Photoshoot in Boise, Idaho

admin — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 22:23:45 +0000

I am still working hard on a new custom blog, so I apologize for the uncompleted blog but I could not wait anymore to share our families shoot! I love this photoshoot in our backyard right outside of Boise, Idaho. Shot by the talented Kelly Zimmerman with Cherished Images, a link to her website below! Kelly did such a great job creating the reality of our family. I wanted a shoot where our animals could be included and I wanted a few silly shots since that is us, from formal to fun! I will be writing a follow up blog about our new lives in Boise and the difference between the city life and country life. It has been over a year now that our family has relocated and we are really enjoying life here. The first family picture include 2 of our dogs, 2 chickens, and you cannot tell but I am holding one of our teacup piglets. This was not the easiest shoot to pull off, so thanks again Kelly for coming to the house and shooting these for me!

We took my favorite images from the photoshoot and Kelly designed a great Spring card on canvas linen paper!

New Baby Photoshoot Orange County

admin — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 22:17:59 +0000

As I have said in previous blogs, I do not specialize in baby photography, but most of my couples come back to me a year or two after being married for pregnancy and new baby shoots! I try my best to showcase the reality. I don’t use a lot of props or backdrops, I just keep it simple. I do think simple will last the test of time, black will never go out of style and neither will your baby!

I love this couple, they are so cool! Their wedding was over 4 years ago at Tustin Ranch Country Club in Southern California and they had no plans on having children. A year ago, the doctor told them that this was their last chance if they wanted to have a baby. After they thought about it, they decided to go for it. They are ecstatic on the birth of their new baby boy and they absolutely love his precious first pictures!

I take a portable studio to my clients home so everyone is comfy! Clients love this! They do not have to leave the house which is a huge ordeal especially for parents of their first baby. I set up a backdrop and lighting and we take our time, this is especially important for parents with many children or twins, where leaving the house the first or second week to go to a studio would sound like climbing Mt. Everest! Enjoy these 6 day old baby pics!

Pregnancy Shoot in the Park, Orange County

admin — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 22:13:52 +0000

The longer I shoot weddings, the more I shoot new baby and family shoots! Most of my wedding couples start a family soon after the wedding, and I have gotten to shoot some of my families for 6 years now. Their children look forward to their photoshoots every year, and they are awesome models for me by this point. The shoots actually create tradiotion and family memories, and I get to be apart of that year after year. Love that part!

Giannina and Aaron wed last year at one of my favorite wedding venues of all time, Calimigos Ranch in Malibu California. I actually made their wedding one of my wedding galleries on my website I liked it so much, I included the link below to see their wedding gallery. It is so fun to start a journey with my couples. Starting before they are married, I had the privilege of shooting their engagement shoot, then their amazing wedding, and now of course their super cute pregnancy shoot. They drove all the way from Las Vegas to Orange County just to do this shoot. I love my loyal clients! Cute detail, the chalkboard used in this pregnancy shoot was the same chalkboard used at their wedding. I can’t wait to do a photoshoot with the baby and I will see you guys in June when I shoot your sisters wedding!

Fullerton Wedding at Muckenthaler Mansion

admin — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 21:56:33 +0000

Even though my blog is still under construction, I had to go ahead and blog my recent wedding of Lisa and Daniel shot at the gorgeous Muckenthaler Mansion in Orange County, California. I have to say I loved the simplicity of this wedding the most! Lisa and Daniel decided to keep the guest list small and they had NO bridal party, which is becoming more popular. It really does make for a smooth running day, with no stress, and it is all about the couple. The couple also chose to see each other before the ceremony which has become extremely popular, called the “First Glance.” The couple still gets a great moment alone and it takes the pressure off for nervous couples, plus they still get the moment walking down the isle, that moment is not taken away, and many times my brides are still overwhelmed with emotion. Also, more pictures can be done before the ceremony so you are not rushed after the ceremony and make your guests wait so long for pictures, and you have more time to get amazing magazine quality shots! The bridal party, when there is one, and couple actually get to spend the day together and is typically more fun.

This venue, Muckenthaler Mansion, in Fullerton, Ca. is fantastic and unique! As you can see, it is great for romantic shots, the ceremony site is cute and quaint, and the Mansion is old and rustic with a modern artistic splash. Collette’s Catering does the best cakes and their food is simply always amazing! Check out the links to see more on this venue and catering. All of the vendors on this list are amazing and I have worked with them for years, you cannot go wrong with any vendor on the list!

Product Photography for the Web-How do you like them Apples?

admin — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 22:03:00 +0000

First off, these apples are simply Amazing! Check Out Auntie M’s Gourmet Apples on Facebook and the direct link is below. She will ship these apples to your doorstep and they are all custom ordered, made, and you can pick your colors and packaging options. These are great for wedding favors, showers, parties, a gift…whatever your heart desires! Here are just some of the flavors she offers, but can make anything you can imagine, someone just wanted some with bacon, YUM!

Product photography is very important to showcase whatever it is you are selling. Sometimes you are even the product, for example if you are a real estate agent. I have seen too many websites and facebook pages with obvious non-professional images, and it does not help your product or you. Everybody that has a Facebook and/or Website should hire a professional photographer to shoot your products and/or you. They should be overall very consistent, with no bells or whistles in my opinion. Your product should stand alone with no cheesy blanket backdrop or flowers ordaining your products. Don’t skimp here, this is essentially your storefront, you want your product to look it’s best from the beginning of marketing even social marketing to get interest, and for professionalism. Some photographers may even be willing to do some bartering with whatever your product is, it doesn’t hurt to ask. Have your business be taken seriously by hiring a professional, it is worth every penny!

Wedding Reception in Beverly Hills

admin — Sun, 26 Feb 2012 21:45:00 +0000

This Beverly Hills Wedding Reception was super unique! Planned at the Lawry’s Steak House in LA, it really was a beautiful spot with a unique dinner service. The salad portion of the meal was a cool sight, they put on a show for you and it is fun. The actual dinner is served in front of you, where chefs have big portions of prime rib cut to your liking. The DJ Company did a great job with the lighting and party and they are super popular in the LA area, check out their site at www.thedjaycompany.com. Joanna from http://www.jsoiree-events.com/ did a fabulous job designing and coordinating this entire wedding. For part 1 of this wedding including the getting ready’s, ceremony, and romantics, check out this link: http://jaimeehubert.blogspot.com/2012/02/downtown-la-wedding.html

Downtown LA Wedding

admin — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 00:31:00 +0000

I am doing this wedding in a 2 Part Blog because the venues were simply fantastic! There are too many images I want to show so I will start with the first half of the wedding of Valorie and Kenneth recently wed in Downtown Los Angeles, and their reception followed in Beverly Hills. We started their “Getting Ready” pictures at the Fabulous JW Marriot LIVE right in the heart of Downtown LA. Their wedding happened to be the morning of the LA Marathon which was really cool walking to the hotel as the racers were running right by the hotel. The lobby of this hotel was perfect for the couples first glance. They wanted to see each other before the wedding so that they could get plenty of great romantics, and to allow the timeline to run a little smoother. It makes for a great wedding day when the couple see’s each other ahead of time for more than one reason. Below you can also see that the bride was still full of tears while walking down the isle and the moment is not taken away from and still incredibly meaningful. This cute couple decided to not have a bridal party, which I have blogged about before, I simply LOVE it! It just seems like the day is more about the couple when there is no bridal party and is so much simpler and enjoyable for the couple. Enjoy this LA wedding and watch for part 2 of this blog which will showcase more romantics, details, and their gorgeous wedding reception at Lawry’s in Beverly Hills. Joanna Chong with www.jsoiree-events.com did a fabulous job coordinating this wedding and she was fun and very easy and flexible to work with, she really took care of my assistant and I. Jay with the DJ Company will also be featured in the next blog!

I LOVE this lovely note from Valorie the bride below:

No words can truly express my excitement!!!

Jaimee since I saw your work, I knew you were good…

But these pictures are AWESOME, you are AMAZING Jaimee!!!

I have never spent so much on Ken’s facebook hoping to see another picture… lol

Thanks for taking care of us~

Downtown Fullerton Family Photo Shoot

admin — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 22:18:00 +0000

I LOVE shooting my families year after year, they are almost always my former brides and grooms, like this family. I get to watch them fall in love on the engagement shoot, stand before them on their wedding day, photograph their pregnancy pictures, then photograph their beautiful babies and then eventually their family, with multiple kids, dogs, and all. It is really cool to watch and be a part of documenting a couples lives together! Some families I have shot for over 7 years and the kids know exactly who I am and are excited for their shoots, it is fun to watch them grow and be their family photograper. I travel to Orange County every 6-8 weeks to shoot weddings and always usually do a shoot day to accommodate all of my former couples and their families. Congrats Veronica and Daniel on your gorgeous little boy Dominick!

"Fire Painting" and How-To Blog

admin — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 19:41:00 +0000

I had so much fun shooting for fun the other night with a few other local photographers. There is a local photographers board that is very active and the photographers get together often to do fun shoots with each other and but their heads together, it is a really cool group. When I saw a “Fire Painting” night I thought that was really interesting. Come to find out they needed a location and my backyard was perfect. You need a wide open space to pull this off. I had no idea what we were doing but once I saw some of the results I was really excited, as I have not shot for fun in almost a decade!

What you are seeing here is Steel Wool (fine) stuffed in a whisk and tied to a cord. There is a person in all of these photos swinging the cord and the results are the steel wool breaks apart and a lot of sparks fly. Some of the pics she had one cord that she was spinning and for a few of them she was spinning 2 cords. I shot with my Canon 5D Mark II and a 14mm wide angle “fish eye” lens. With long exposures of 10-30 seconds you get really cool images. There was a little trial and error getting the right exposures down, the correct white balance, low ISO, and the fire painter took a few tries to get it down. The steel wool did not last as long as we had hoped in some cases only 10-20 seconds. Even though this was a first attempt I love the results. We will be doing this again and begin to perfect it and come up with new ideas and different locations. You notice you can see the person in some of the images and this was done using an off camera flash to illuminate her face while spinning the cord in a perfect circle.

F:8 @ 15 seconds, 100 ISO, Tungsten White Balance

F:7.1 @ 15 seconds, 100 ISO, Tungsten White Balance

An Off Camera Flash allows you to see the subjects face in these.

F:7.1 @ 10 seconds, 100 ISO, Tungsten White Balance, with off camera flash

F:8 @ 10 seconds, 100 ISO, Tungsten White Balance

F:7.1 @ 30 seconds, 100 ISO, Tungsten White Balance

Exposures are the same of as above.

Twins!

admin — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 02:36:00 +0000

Welcome to the World Levi and Peyton! Congrats to their parents as well, Bethany and Jason, on their new set of boys and their 4th and 5th child! These babies are just adorable and it was my fist time shooting twins, I have shot triplets before but they were older, and posing two babies is a little different then one. Enjoy these cute little guys and I will be shooting them their entire lives so you will get to watch them grow up with me!

I am definitely not “a baby photographer” since I mainly specialize in weddings and families. Especially since I have seen what photographers that specialize in babies have been doing the last few years; cute props, crazy nets and gauze, hammocks, unique crocheted hats and amazing poses….a lot of them resemble Anne Geddes work! However my brides all shortly after the wedding start having babies, so I have always done pregnancy and new baby shoots and their homes. By the way, having a photographer come to your home to do any type of intimate shoot is amazing, especially when you have 5 kids and one is a set of twins, leaving the house for a photo shoot does not exactly sound fun.

My shoots with babies are basic especially with twins….but these two beautiful boys don’t need any extra, just their adorable faces and I even got smiles! Love these guys!

Fullerton Arboretum Engagement

admin — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 00:38:00 +0000

I love this cute couple who will be wed in just over a month at the Muckenthaler Mansion in Fullerton, California. It is a gorgeous property and Lisa is going to make a gorgeous bride so I can’t wait to shoot it! Plus, it is a daytime wedding which I absolutely love and NO bridal party, which I am personally a huge fan of for many reasons. Lisa had saw a wedding blog in which I had shot at the Fullerton Arboretum and thought it would be the perfect location for her and Daniel’s engagement shoot! I agree with her since I was married at the Fullerton Arboretum over 12 years ago and love the many locations you have to shoot.

Congrats guys, See you in March!

What’s In Your Photography Bag?

admin — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 22:09:00 +0000

I thought it would be fun to share what is in my Photography Bag. A lot of people ask me what I shoot with and what lenses I prefer, so here you go. This is my travel Lowepro backpack, I strictly use this on plane flights as I can never separate from my camera equipment and this backpack fits in the overhead compartments.Getting ready to fly and shoot 2 weddings and 12 photo shoots in 5 days, which has become a usual occurrence for me. So here is how I pack my bag to travel. I will be writing a follow up blog soon on how to travel with your equipment and keep your images safe! Since I have become more of a destination photographer, I have shot in different countries and regularly shoot out of state. Traveling with your equipment and already shot images can be very tricky and you need to be prepared for the worst case scenarios! While shooting I like to use my Kelley Moore bag if I have an assistant, and I prefer my Thinktank which is handy for all my lenses when I shoot alone and have no assistant.

What I shoot With:

Canon 5D Mark II
Canon 5D‘s as Backup
Zoom Lens 70-200 2.8 ~ Most Preferred
Zoom Lens 70-200 4.0 ~Backup, Used for Travel
Overall Lens 24-105 4.0 ~Larger Group Shots
Macro 100 mm 2.8 ~For rings and close ups
Wide Angle 14mm Fisheye ~Room and Venue shots
2- 580EX II Flashes
Gary Fong Whales Tale~ Have shot with it for years and cant shoot without it.

Not Pictured: Canon 50mm, Think Tank easy shoot waist bag, Kelly Moore Bag, Over 100GB of Chip Space, plenty of camera batteries and chargers

Leave a comment and share what is in your Bag!

Boise Family Photoshoot

admin — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 21:15:00 +0000

I love this shoot I did of this cute family in Boise!!! I don’t typically shoot to much in Boise as all of my clients are in Orange County, but Kelly with Cherished Images is also a fellow photographer and we swapped family shoots. Neither of us had had a family shoot in years…..We are like Plumbers with leaky faucets. I had a great time shooting at this old condemned oil factory off the beaten path and next to the Boise River, so we were able to shoot at both locations just steps away. There will be a follow up blog of Kelly’s images of my family very soon. Thanks for a great time and beautiful images!

OC Register Features My Work- City of Brea Sculptures

admin — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 23:02:00 +0000

The City was looking for a local photographer with the skill and vision to convey the unique design elements of 3 dimensional sculpture in 2 dimensions. Jaimee was more than qualified, warm, and enthusiastic about the somewhat daunting challenge of photographing approximately 100 of the nearly 150 sculptures throughout Brea. She was also incredibly generous, donating her time to edit all of the photos. On a personal note, it seemed to me that this project was a labor of love for Jaimee, not just another job. This left a lasting impression, and it shows in the photographs. The photos are used frequently as educational tools for the Art in Public Places Collection and to provide to members of the media.

The City of Brea in Orange County, California; has a city policy for over the last decade that any new development must have a sculpture or piece of artwork. The city boasts nearly 150 amazing sculptures and works of art from all different artists. It adds character to this amazing “small town” feeling bustling city. I LOVE BREA and lived there for over a decade. I shot almost 100 of these unique sculptures and documented their location for the city of Brea and loved shooting objects for one of the first times. It was a great project and I am excited that the Orange County Register has featured my work. Check out the link below to see the amazing sculptures, and the ones I shot are credited. Thank you to Trinitee and the city of Brea for your write up and featuring me on the City Website and in the Newspaper.
