The Orange Turtle Photography Blog - San Diego Wedding and Engagement Photographer

I met up with Alli and her mom at Torrey Pines Beach yesterday for a senior portrait session.  It was so much fun!  I haven’t been to the beach for awhile especially after I moved to Mira Mesa.  It was so nice to smell the ocean again!

Shooting a high school senior is obviously different than shooting an engagement couple - but there’s one thing in common - I  always strive to capture my clients’ beautiful, authentic and comfortable selves and let their personalities shine in front of the camera!

Alli is a natural beauty!

Alli - have fun this year! Best of luck to you as you begin to fill out those college apps!

Happy Monday! I had another whirlwind trip to the Bay Area (N.Cal) this past weekend to visit my best friend Alice.  She’s now 7 months pregnant and they are expecting a little girl!  Alice is seriously the cutest pregnant lady and she looks so good she was practically glowing when I saw her this weekend.  I had a chance to take a few shots of her and her hubby around Oakland. It was really cool especially since I’ve never had any shoot in Oakland before!

I really like the following shot under Oakland Tribune!

Lastly, the tummy shots! I can’t decide which one I like more!

This one? I love the colors.

But I also love the black and white version!

Alice and Damon - thank you so much for hosting me - and Alice, thank you for the special ‘girl time’ we had together! I wish I had brought my camera haha!  I’ll see you guys soon!

Veronica & Alejandro got married on a glorious afternoon at Moonlight beach overlook at Escondido.  It was one of those wedding that is so full of much love and warmth.

What I love about their wedding is that everyone in the family gets to be a part of the sand ceremony!  It was so cute!

Look at this beautiful family!

Their reception was held at Marina Village.

Veronica and Alejandro - Thank you again for inviting us to witness the love that you have for each other! Congrats again on your beautiful family!
