Archive for 'Portraits'
During my tenure at California Baptist University, I’ve studied marketing and public relations and have learned a lot in the process. Aside from the knowledge I acquired in academics, and the tips on how to pass a class, not to procrastinate, and what classes and professors to take, I’ve also learned valuable life lessons. God has shown to me his power, mercy, and love. Family has shared with me and taught the value of great support and encouragement. My boyfriend has shared with me life’s too short to get overworked and stressed out about the small stuff. Friends have shown me the power of great friendship and joy. Professors have taught me valuable career and life advice, but most of all I’ve learned to value life, share love and happiness, seek God, and live my purpose. I’m sad to leave CBU but very hopeful for what the future brings. After graduation, I plan to start a career in advertising at an agency in Los Angeles. I am looking forward to what the future holds!
There is something surreal about being in San Juan Capistrano. The Los Rios District, horses, stables, and general feel are something that almost steps you back to a simpler time. We put on our boots and headed down to the Sycamore Trails Stables to meet Jamie and her horse, Grace. Jamie and Grace were such a true joy to work with. Jamie has such a timeless, quite beauty about her that we just adore. And, Grace, well who doesn’t love a sweet, white horse?
Jamie,
Thank you so much for having us photograph you at such an important stage of life! You truly are incredibly lovely and talented. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. May the Lord bless you in this new stage of life we call college!
xoxo,
Kristin and Dustin
Wish Jamie the best and tell us your favorite photo!!!
Melissa is such an absolutely, adorable sweetheart! Anyone who knows Melissa would agree or they are crazy. We first met her via one of our other clients when she did the gal’s hair, make-up and volunteered her own gorgeous home for the shoot. Isn’t that sweet?
When Melissa found out she and her husband were expecting a new addition to their family (so exciting!) she asked us to photograph her as she fit into her wedding dress one more time, we couldn’t be more thrilled!! We could tell you all about our shoot in Balboa Park in San Diego, but we think the photos are just so much fun that they can speak for themselves!
And we know Melissa would love some fabulous comments so make sure to leave one at the bottom!!! ![]()
ENJOY!!!
Gosh, Melissa! Stop making us all feel bad!
And now for something completely different…:-)

And a little more fabulousness!
Don’t forget to leave some love! Tell us your favorite photo!
Giana is full of so much natural beauty and I absolutely ADORE it! I was excited to get to work with such a stunning lady and her horse, Cooper! Giana loves the indie look of Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters so I tried to channel some of their photography style into her shoot.
Giana will be graduating from Laguna Hills High School in May and hopes to pursue a film degree at Chapman University! Congrats, Giana!!!
Leave some love for her below!
