Mother’s Day/Father’s Day Gift Ideas!

This year I had fun making gifts for my husband, Josh, on his first Father’s Day, as well as for my own parent’s.

At Christmas, Josh’s cousin gave us a gift wrapped in an old English newspaper. Josh and I both thought it was pretty cool, but I didn’t think it was worth saving. As I went to throw the newspaper away, Josh stopped me and said I should save it, maybe it would be a good matte for a picture frame. So, when I went to Micheals about a month ago and ran across a DIY frame kit the idea came to me. I used the DIY frame, the old newspaper and a lot of love to make his Father’s Day gift this year. Here’s how:

 What you need: DIY photo frame kit, wood letters, black paint, paint brush sheet of newspaper, hot glue gun, glue stick, photograph.

To make the frame, I started by painting the sides of the frame and the letters black. Then I glued the newspaper to the wood using a glue stick. Once this glue dried, I trimmed off the excess newspaper. Using the hot glue gun, I put the letters in place. Here’s the tricky part: I had to get Caleb to fall into a deep sleep. I put a medium amount of paint on the bottom of his foot and then pressed it onto the frame. The key is to get enough paint that it will transfer to the frame before drying, but not so much that you lose the details of his tiny foot. After that paint dried I just added the photo and a little had written note on the back. Super easy and cute!

For my mom I made signature tequila with accessories. To do this, I needed tequila, limes, a jar for my mom’s favorite salt and sugar mix and of course, agave nectar. I started by laying my son on his back on a white blanket and photographing him while he made silly faces at Josh. I cropped the photos tight around his face to use as the main logo for the tequila. Then I used Photoshop to layout the design for the labels. Once I printed them out, I simply cut the labels to size and taped them to the bottles. My mom loved her personalized margarita kit!

For my dad, I made an awesome flip-book with images on both sides. He’s been asking for a new wallet size photo of us that he can carry around so he can show off his new grandson. Now he has 10 wallet photos to show off!

New Born Baby Portrait Photography

Paige Aurora

Paige Aurora is my precious little lady bug. She is my best friends new baby girl and sooo cute! Her whole room is decorated in lady bugs and she even has a lady bug Halloween costume from this year. I thought it would be perfect to photograph her in her room with the lady bugs. At the end of the session we were able to photograph her in her lady bug outfit too. The lady bug outfit picture is my favorite!!! I think the photographs are going to match her room really well. She is four days old and fresh from the hospital in these images.

CPA Corporate Photography

Josh and I spent the weekend in Templeton photographing corporate portraits, close up stock photos, around the town landscapes, and casual at work portraits like the one above. These photographs will be used on a CPA website soon. We wanted to make sure we captured the personality of the office staff through casual executive portraits so we had our clients sit at their desks for the images. We also took a ton of pictures of the staff at the conference table and around the office “at work”. We had a great time photographing the portraits, but I think my favorite part of the day was photographing the artistic stock photographs that will be used throughout the CPA website.

Christmas in September Portraits

Christmas in September

Christmas in September went really well this year! In case you don’t know what it is, here’s the press release from this awesome fundraiser:

Christmas in September
The first annual Christmas in September photography fundraising event will be held this September in parks throughout Orange County.  The Costa Mesa Rotary club will offer mini family photography sessions by professional wedding and portrait photographer and Rotarian, Kellianne Jordan.   You and your family have three opportunities to have your family photo taken, in three locations with uniquely beautiful backdrops.

Each of the locations is unique and beautiful and your family will be very pleased with the 8×10 Folio Print and two 5×7 prints included with the sitting.  Kellianne Jordan Photography is also offering discounted pricing on additional prints and holiday cards.  The greatly discounted price (normally $395) for the mini photography session, with up to 6 people, at one of these three locations is only $100.

Plus 75% of all photography sessions is tax deductible and will go toward Rotary sponsored projects, with $25 going directly back to participating clubs and organizations.  Some clubs are even using this opportunity to raise polio plus funds for their clubs.  All clubs and organizations are invited to participate in this three day event.

The Rotary Club of Costa Mesa is excited to be able to help families with discounted photography packages while also giving back to local and international communities. The contributions from this event will go toward projects of the Rotary Club of Costa Mesa such as SOS school backpacks and Adopt-A-Family, YMCA Scholarship Program, Treasure Box donations, NMUSD dental screenings, school supplies for low income Romanian children, support for local senior residents at Bethal Towers, library books and seedlings for 3rd graders, RYLA and other community projects.

Marinello School of Beauty Project Runway

Josh and I recently had an opportunity to photograph the Marinello School of Beauty Project Runway show in Mission Viejo, California. The makeup artists at the school each teamed up and created a bride to send down the runway. Each bride had a theme. I chose my favorite four to show you. We photographed each bride backstage against a gray backdrop with one light and a beauty dish. I added a little extra flair to bring out the theme of each bride. I love the 80′s bride.

We were secret judges and it was awesome. The teams for each bride were judged on hair, makeup, nails and overall look. During the pictures we judged them on their overall look and general attitude and modeling ability and confidence. They had no idea that we were judging them too so we were able to see what they we each really like behind the scenes.

Family Portrait Session, Orange County, CA

Audra & Family

I shot Audra’s maternity portraits a few months ago and was recently able to photograph baby Raelee for the first time. This slideshow includes all of the portraits from the recent baby portrait photography session, as well as a few of my favorites from the maternity session. I wanted to make sure I captured some of Tyler too so they could have matching portraits. We tried to get some of both kids, but as you can see Raelee was not having it.

I love these kids!! I’m sure ya’ll will see plenty more pictures of these two in the years to come.
