Sam + Jordan | Orange Wedding Photography

Samantha and Jordan both serve this country in the United States Navy. And now, the two will serve one another as life partners.

It was a six month whirlwind of training and learning and growing together and falling in love that ended with a beautiful marriage ceremony in Orange earlier this month. Or should I say, began.

The two wrote their own vows and as they shared them with one another and their guests, tears ran down cheeks and smiles beamed. Their parents are honored. Their siblings are proud. And I am humbled by the solid commitment that the two had made not just to one another, but to all our country.

So Committed Sam was one of the most laid back and easy going brides I've ever worked with, and also, one of the most beautiful! Committed Jordan, you're a lucky man. You're a lucky man.

Dean Soldan - Newborn Portraits

Dean Kyle Rand Soldan. Eight pounds of pure perfection.

I went over to his house on Wednesday for his first official photoshoot, and the little man did great! I think the 'food coma' that Mama Grace put him in helped, but I honestly think this little guy's gonna be a sweetheart (for his parents and my camera!).

We started by having Daddy Donnie wrap him in a 'burrito' blanket and then decided that putting the little guy in dad's firefighter helmet would be darling. We were so right. All this napping in front of the camera left little Dean tuckered out (and Mom too), so I left the young family lounging on the couch.

Yesterday was his one week birthday. :)

Congratulations, Soldan's! He really is perfect!

Came back into town Friday and shot a few homes that afternoon and Saturday before I was out again...

Here's one of them. A beautiful little Ladera leaser...you'd never know that three kids under six cruise this house every day. It's in mint condition! And impeccably decorated...

Let me know if you might have a friend or contact who'd be interested.
