I have quite a few Disneyland sessions coming up but just wanted to quickly share with you a few from my last 2 family sessions at Disneyland! For these 2 families, it was their children’s first time at Disneyland and I was there to capture all the magic!

Claremont Botanical Gardens: The Serna Family

sarina — Tue, 14 May 2013 06:02:56 +0000

I always love when I reconnect with an old friend and it was so nice to meet Akilah and her ever growing family. Akilah and I went to High School many years ago and to see her now with your husband and 2 kids is so wonderful! I have to admit, The Serna’s are one good looking family! They are all so easy going and so fun to be around and I enjoyed photographing them the entire time! We headed to the Claremont Botanical Gardens for their family session and although it was a super HOT day, we all survived and no one got stung by a bee that kept chasing us!

Check out the beautiful Serna Family and their adorable children! By the way, how cute are their outfits?! Ahh I loved it all!

Fullerton Arboretum: The Solis Sisters

sarina — Tue, 07 May 2013 04:29:39 +0000

There are times in my photographing career where I meet certain clientele and we just “click” and The Solis Sisters and I just “clicked” instantly. I really loved their aura and their fun-loving spirit with one another. I’m an only child and when I was shooting them, I was in awe of their love and laughter for one another. It was so sweet and inspiring. If I had sisters, I would love to have a loving relationship as The Solis Sisters. I actually have photographed 2 of them before in 2 separate boudoir sessions and it was such a pleasure to work with them again and meet the rest of their clan. We had a great time shooting at the Fullerton Arboretum where the light was nice and the flowers were in bloom.

Mother’s Day is just around the corner and I know their mom will be surprised when she sees these photographs.

Here’s another beautiful Orange County Engagement Session at Thomas F Riley Wilderness Park. They both love the outdoors and this location was simply perfect for them. These 2 lovebirds will be saying “I DO” this coming August and I can’t wait to photograph their big day!

Orange County Engagement Session: David and Michelle

sarina — Wed, 01 May 2013 07:58:09 +0000

Love is definitely in the air and I couldn’t help but adore photographing David and Michelle. I normally let my couples select the location but David and Michelle fully trusted my professional opinion and left it up to me. I decided to photograph their engagement session at the lovely Thomas F. Riley Wilderness park located in South Orange County, which was the perfect location for them. What’s funny is, if anyone knows me, I actually am not a “nature” girl by any means. I tend to whine and complain a lot. Just ask my boyfriend about our hiking trip in Hawaii! But for some reason, I love love love shooting in nature settings. I just find it so scenic, so breathtaking, and simply gorgeous! So it’s worth it for me if I get lovely images such as these.

As usual, I had a lot of fun with these two. It was so easy to photograph them especially when they were being lovey dovey with one another. I can’t wait to photograph their wedding in June!

BLOSSOM: one-on-one private lessons

sarina — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 19:23:09 +0000

WHO?

For the photographer enthusiast who wants to learn how to take better photos
For the business-minded photographer who wants to start their small business
For the professional photographer who wants to take his/her business to the next level

WHAT?

This is a private one-on-one training aimed to help you BLOSSOM into the photographer you aim to be. I’ll help assess where you are and what tools you may need to help you reach your goals. Whether you are barely learning how to use your camera on manual mode or you already have an established business and just don’t know where to go from here, I’ll help guide you to what the next steps are in your ever growing photography passion.

This is ultimately YOUR private workshop so we can talk about anything such as: branding, marketing, and all things related to the business of photography. We can also shoot around and practice posing, composition, and how to deal with all types of clientele. The possibilities are endless and it’s all tailored to where YOU are at in your business and how I can help you get there.

WHERE?

We can discuss this offline and figure out a proper location that works for us both.

WHEN?

We can discuss this offline and figure out a proper day/time that works for us both.

WHY?

I’ve been getting a lot of emails and requests for internships, for personal training, and even for shadowing me at my photoshoots and weddings. Unfortunately, I never had any major opportunities and had to decline everyone simply because I wasn’t ready to teach or train anyone. I wanted to be 100% sure I was ready and able to guide and teach someone so that they would get the best information and tools possible. I truly want to help people and see them BLOSSOM into the photographer they aim to be. Everyone is different in how they photograph, with the types of clientele they serve, and where they are in their business. I believe a one-on-one workshop is the best way to really get information that is tailored just for YOU.

Anoop and Shrav have this “opposites attract” thing going on. He loves his Microsoft tablet while she loves her Apple iPad, he loves healthy snacks and she loves junk food, he loves to read tech stuff and she adores her Cosmo. Although they may have some differences, they are perfect for one another. They are preparing to get married this August in India and I’m so happy for them. Congratulations you two! 7 years and still going strong….

So check out Anoop and Shrav’s very colorful and creative engagement session. Anoop did a great job of thinking of ideas and preparing everything for the engagement session in San Juan Capistrano. I had so much fun with them and their fun props!

Sherwood Country Club Wedding: Jane and Jonathan

sarina — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 23:35:54 +0000

I had such a blast photographing Jonathan and Jane’s wedding at Sherwood Country Club. It was a perfect day, slightly chilly at times, soft sunlight, and a lot of fun times! I’ve known Jonathan for a few years now and it was so amazingly sweet to see him find someone like Jane who is simply perfect for one another. Their day was filled with love, laughter, and a lot of dancing and sillyness! I had so much fun photographing their wedding day and I’m glad all their hard work paid off and the day went oh so smoothly just as I had expected. They are now off to Bora Bora for more honeymoon adventures! Congratulations you two! Don’t forget to give Jono’s dad an ETA on you know what?

Laguna Beach Engagement Session: Jared and Sara

sarina — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 23:08:22 +0000

It’s funny when I meet clients for the first time, we instantly click and flow so easily. When I met Sara and Jared, it was great we quickly got to know one another and I can tell they got comfortable in front of the camera fairly fast. Jared is actually stationed in Hawaii at the moment and will be heading to Asia for several months since he’s part of the military. Wedding planning is definitely going to be challenging but I’m sure these two can handle it! They are both so sweet with one another and playful…I love it! The session was so much fun and we even had a dog jump into our session which was a fun surprise. I had so much fun I decided to put my flip flops off to the side and when I went to look for them, they were gone! They floated away into the shores never to be found again. LOL It’s all good. It happens and it’s now a funny memory for us all.

Congratulations you two and good luck with the wedding planning!
