a beautiful gift idea for your mother, grandmother, or most importantly, yourself!  i will not be offering a father's day special this year, so this would be a wonderful gift for dad as well.

 i will have 3 different days of sessions, but each day only has room for 5, so i will be scheduling on a first come, first serve basis.  to hold your spot, you will need to contact me to schedule and get me your session fee of $150 no later than the morning of april 18th.  those on the waiting list will fill spots left unpaid. your session fee is non refundable. 

saturday, april 19th - the fullerton arboretum session - appointments filled between 8:30 a.m. - 1 p.m. 

the fullerton arboretum is a gorgeous location filled with little wooden bridges, a beautiful stream, new spring flowers, children's garden, duck pond and grassy lawns.  this is a lovely location if you are looking for something soft or dreamy...a location perfect for beautiful dresses as well as a pair of jeans.

sunday, april 20th - the montage resort, laguna beach session - appointments filled between 2 and 6 p.m. 

if you've never visited the beach of the montage resort, now is the time.  a gorgeous beach location with mossy rocks, sweeping sandy paths and beautiful blue water.  the beach is a perfect spot for old white dresses, as well as something funky and color popping.  traditional and romantic, or fun hip and vibrant.  one of my favorite places to shoot.

 monday, april 21st - the "sweet and shabby" session - appointments filled between 2 and 6 p.m. 

looking for something a little different in your portraits?  this is one of my favorite new sessions and a great way to find beauty in the unexpected.  should you chose this session, i will be letting you know of our location chosen.  it will be in our local area of long beach, and most likely make you say, "we're going to shoot THERE?" this is a great opportunity to pair up all of your child's favorite funky clothes, or swish around in a bouncy petticoat.  i have a list of online boutiques that i love to find my favorite clothes if you need some suggestions.

**after our session, you will be provided with an online gallery preview by friday, may 9th.  your gallery will be available for viewing and sharing for one week.  after that time, we will need to schedule an ordering session or have your order ready to be placed.  your gallery will consist of 10 proofs from our session to choose from.  there is a $50 archival fee to display your gallery again, so please be ready with your order or appointment by may 16th.

**important to note!!!  although your gallery will be ready in time for mother's day, your filled order will not arrive until 2 weeks after you place your order**
