Congratulations Leah & Oscar!

San Juan Capistrano, California

Leah and Oscar were married at the beautiful St. Margaret Episcopal Church of Scotland. I had met the couple for an engagement session but it was my first time meeting their family. Leah’s mom however needed no introduction – the family resemblance was unmistakeable.

Before the ceremony we took a couple of quick photos of the bride and bridesmaids…
and Oscar with the groomsmen.
The gentlemen headed inside the church as the bridesmaids wait for their cue.

The kiss
The Newlyweds!!!
Congratulations!

Family Portraits

Malibu, California
When I first met Tiffany & Jill we talked about their engagement session and how it could be fun to include the kids for some family portraits as well. All of them love the beach so Paradise Cove was the perfect choice!
There’s a trailer park off the beach reminiscent of The Rockford Files, which happens to be one of my favorite old detective shows.

Up the hill from the park we stopped by a cute fence.

Jake is in his own world. This was one of the few times he was actually still. I wish I had his energy!

We walked on the pier for some more photos….

then under the pier…

Then it was playtime for Olivia & Jake!

Happy Birthday Sis!!!

Los Angeles, California
Today is my sister Alicja’s birthday. I’m sad I can’t join her in Chicago for the celebration. Last year, Alicja came to visit us here in LA for her birthday.

I tend to buy presents centered around a theme. One year I got my sis an Alias book, some spy gear and a CIA badge. Last year was Alice in Wonderland. In keeping with this theme, we had a tea party with yummy cherry tarts from La Brea Bakery. Thankfully the Mad Hatter declined his invitation.

Then we went bowling at Midtown Lanes. It was my first time in over a decade – and my sister’s, too. Michael had the best form but also a lot of gutter balls.

Here’s Alicja.

I love this sign.
