“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.

Baby “D”…

Baby “D”…

Pam… I knew in high school, but it wasn’t till the past year or so that we met up again. Todd…a small world that we know well the same family and yet never met before. This family is truly blessed. You’ll have to ask them to tell their story. I’m thankful to have the...

Jess, Cody and baby!!!

Beautiful couple excited for the arrival of their first baby. None of us know if this little one is a boy or a girl…but we don’t have to wait too long.

Sweet little girl…we will call her “A”

Sweet little girl…we will call her “A”

She reminds me so much of Chloe…but she is a little wiser than Chloe because she is 4 years old. Her mom is pretty cool too! Thanks for inviting me over to your place. It was a BLAST!

Dan and Cari have been friends with my hubby Shay for a LONG time. I’m grateful that I also get to call them friends. We had the chance to be invited into their home once again and meet their sweet adorable newest addition Jenny. And Allie….well she is a proud big...

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!

It’s easy to photograph someone you’ve gotten to know well. This girl makes me laugh in so many ways. We had fun roaming around Fallbrook and she was so easy to work with. She’s a beauty!

I’m so blessed to know this young lady…to see her grow from a little freshmen to a Senior in high school. She has such a sweet spirit who cares very deeply for others. She is confident and yet humble. I know that great things will take place in her life as she...

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!

Friday Frenzy

I’ve been contemplating this for weeks…to change “Thursday Afternoon Coffee” to “Friday Frenzy”…I just haven’t had the time to meet my Thursday post deadline when Wednesday’s is Bible Club for the kiddos and home school day is Thursday. Does it really matter? I’m...

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.
