“life’s moments frozen in time”

Irene was just what our family needed. We had a newborn baby and a toddler to take pictures of. I was not looking forward to going to a studio at all. It’s so artificial. She offered to come to our home which was a big relief. We got such great pictures because everyone was at ease. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

The Hill Kids

The Hill Kids

I was young once. The parents of these kids were too. I grew up in the church youth group with the dad of these beautiful kids. While taking these pictures he thanked me for posting some pictures of our young days via Facebook. Yes, thank you Facebook! Ha Ha. It was...

a Year later…

a Year later…

I remember sitting in the hospital about a year ago this coming November 6. We went in around the afternoon thinking maybe this “little” baby will be here or maybe they’ll send me home again. Again this baby was not due till November 11th, but everyone of my family...

Meet C…adorable sweetie! About to turn the big one in a few weeks. At first she wasn’t quite sure about the whole cake situation, but from what you see here I think she got it all figured out. Happy Birthday Roo!

Alyssa…in her traditional Korean outfit

I love her. My cousin has such a cute baby!

I cannot recommend Irene enough! We had so much fun during our maternity photo shoot. For each shot, she was dedicated to finding the perfect composition and mood and her enthusiasm made it easy to feel natural being photographed, which isn’t easy for me (especially at 36 weeks pregnant!). She was really good at capturing sweet, intimate moments between my husband and me without any awkwardness. Irene, thank you for the beautiful photos and the FUN afternoon!

Hood-Custer Wedding

  It was a small beautiful wedding in Pauma Valley Church. Intimate. Simple. Surrounded by good friends and loved ones.

Life is Precious…

Life is Precious…

We spent Thanksgiving eve-day roaming around Bates Nut Farm. This was the first time I actually got to meet her children. It was another moment in my life that impacted me. I cannot even begin to know what this family is going through. Here is a little about their...

Irene — Thank you so much for capturing my little ones “in the moment.” One of my favorite pictures is one you took before the session even started of the little one hugging the older one from behind. Thank you also for letting us move to the grass when the 1-year-old complained about the beach sand, and for letting me bring the family dog along! It was a great experience and the pictures were awesome!

Irene was able to capture cute and natural-looking photos of my “busy” little toddlers – that’s no easy feat! She also took some lovely family pictures too.
