This session was full of dreamy California light . We ventured the cliffs of Corona Del Mar and waited for the sun to start setting to capture their love under the golden light

Audrey Ellie // 11 months
My little munchkin rarely hits the blog but I had to share her 11 month milestone session because my goodness she is just a few short weeks from turning 1 year! Where on earth does the time even go?
If you have been following me you already know I document her each month and usually attempt to put the number blocks in there to remember her at that particular age. One more month until those number blocks sessions turn into "years" instead of "months". Eeeks. Can I press pause?
Audrey has completed our family and this last year has been the most amazing year yet - My
oldest, Jaelene, became an AMAZING big sister (will post her 8 year photos soon!) , we have
watched Audrey's many firsts . . . (first words, first foods, first steps, ) and been in joyful
tears watching her grow over this last 11 months, we have taken our first family vacations,
first family videos (w the GoPro of course) of bike rides, aquariums visits, first time at
Disneyland, etc. Audrey is like a blossoming flower that keeps on blossoming! She is now
walking, can say "mamma, ball, uh oh, and dadda", loves to clap and especially DANCE! She is a
BIG cuddle bug ! Her favorite food ever is cream of spinach, I mean really? Who would have
thought right?! She has gotten tall and long and her baby rolls are slowly disappearing
which makes my heart sad because it's a reminder of just how soon she won't be a baby
anymore. She will always be my baby though ;)
I am in awe with both my girls and every now and then they deserve to hit the blog so hope you enjoyed a little share from my life ;)

The Pagard's Family Session {Orange County Family Photographer}
The Evan's Family/Newborn Session - Baby Chloe
This is long overdue, as I have gotten far behind on my blogging lately and Chloe's session was a month ago!
I truly enjoyed baby Chloe's newborn session! She was such an angel to photograph! I especially love capturing those first days of bringing home a baby for a family, it truly goes by in the blink of an eye so it's so wonderful to be able to have photographs to look back at. I know the first few days are full of sleep deprivation (well really the first year, ha) and family visiting , feedings and constant diaper changes , trying to get into some sort of normal routine (if possible) - but if you can squeeze in an hour for a photographer to come capture this beautiful chaos , it's well worth it!
Thanks to the Evan's family for allowing me in your home to meet your new little bundle of joy !
xoxo,
Cori

Meet my beautiful photog friend Chloe! She's an incredibly talented wedding photographer in Manhattan Beach. We decided to grab some coffee and chat about photography stuff while exploring around Orange County . Check out these photos of her . We wanted to capture her love for her new Contax baby (film) . My favorite part about photographing her is that contagious smile! No joke, she's a funny gal with SO much joy!
Thanks Chloe for accompanying me and allowing me the privilege to shoot you!
{ M a t t + L a u r e n } // E n g a g e m e n t // Newport Beach Engagement Session
It doesn't matter what time of year it is, Newport Beach is always a gorgeous place for light & love and a perfect location for a Southern California engagement session. This fun couple {Matt & Lauren} wanted simplicity for their session so that the main focus could be their affection for one another and connection to the beach location. This lifeguard tower 10 is where they spent most of their days as a dating couple before being engaged . It is a sentimental location for them as they embark on new adventures as a married couple and new fur baby parents!
THE PROPOSAL
"After dating for Two and a half years Matt knew that he was ready to pop the big question. They had discussed a trip to New York with Matt's roommate Carl to visit their friend Jay. Matt knew this would be the perfect location. While Matt was busy planning and buying the ring, he had Jay walk through Central Park to scout out the perfect spot. With Jay's help the plan was finalized.
After spending 3 days in the city site seeing, touring, and enjoying time with friends the big day had arrived. They headed out to walk through Central Park with a group of friends. They were on their way to brunch at the Lighthouse in the middle of the park. When they arrived at the Oak bridge that Jay scouted out, Matt gave the "code word" to his friends to let them know he was about to propose so they could video and take photos of the event. While on the bridge posing for pictures, Matt caught Lauren by surprise and got down on one knee. As you all know, Lauren said YES!"
Crystal Cove Maternity Session // Sunset // Jen + Chris + 1
Sunset BABY BUMP session! // Crystal Cove // Orange County Maternity Session // Jen + Chris + 1
This incredible sunset maternity session had me in complete AWE while shooting! These two lovebirds snuggled as the sun went down and told me all about how they read every night to Aniston (their soon-to-be first baby GIRL) … What better way to remember this then by capturing them reading together to her on the beach? This session was full of this soon-to-be mammas beautiful reflections along the shore with killer light and ocean front cliffs, honesty beyond breathtaking! . . AND . . not that it isn't COMPLETELY obvious , BUT, how gorgeous is this mamma?! Just wow! One of my favorite baby bump sessions to date! Jen & Chris thank you for the incredible opportunity to capture this time in your lives and I can't wait to meet baby Aniston soon!
Coming Soon!
I can't wait to share my latest photo session with you! Stay tuned!
