Tulip Color Crafts branding shoot
This recent branding photoshoot for Tulip Color Crafts perfectly captured the magical spirit of childhood, blending branding and lifestyle photography into a vibrant, joy-filled story.
As an Orange County photographer, my goal is always to create imagery that feels authentic, elevated, and full of life for any brand I work with. This session brought all of that and more.
Set against a backdrop of soft florals and natural textures designed by Beijos Events, the children were invited to create, and express themselves freely and be generally be as silly as they wanted! With hands busy crafting and imaginations running wild, every moment unfolded organically. No stiff poses, no forced smiles—just genuine laughter, quiet concentration, and those fleeting in-between moments that tell the most beautiful stories.
The natural light played a huge role in bringing this session to life. Soft, glowing sunshine filtered through the outdoor setting, illuminating every detail—from the gorgeous florals by Earth and Grace Co. and colorful set by Sweet Salvage Rentals, to the little hands at work painting and glueing anything they could get their hands on! The result? Bright and joyous images that feel both timeless and full of energy.
This is what I love most about being a branding and lifestyle photographer: creating space for real moments to happen. Whether you’re building a brand or simply wanting to capture your family in an authentic way, these sessions are designed to feel fun, relaxed, and meaningful.
Branding sessions like this go beyond traditional portraits. They tell a story—your story. They showcase personality, connection, and emotion in a way that resonates deeply and visually. For creative brands, especially those centered around children, family, or education, this kind of imagery creates an inviting, relatable presence.
If you’re looking for a professional, fun, and candid approach to photography—one that embraces natural light, movement, and real connection—you’re in the right place. As a Costa Mesa photographer serving all of Orange County, I’m here to help you create something beautiful, bright, and full of life.
Let’s tell your story in a way that feels as joyful as it truly is.
Friendsgiving with Sur La Table and Beijos Events
This Friendsgiving styled photoshoot was for the brand Sur La Table which they used for their seasonal holiday campaign promoting their product via web ads, email mailers, and social media. I’ve been working with Sur La Table for a few years now and their photoshoots are always a fun time!
This shoot which was styled and designed by Beijos Events highlighted everything needed for hosting a beautiful Friendsgiving dinner — from cookware and serving dishes to elegant entertaining essentials.
Thyme Well Spent Catering cooked the gorgeous and delicious food to pair with the products, Not Just in Novels designed the stunning florals and Sweet Salvage Rentals provided the beautiful setting and furniture.
A very special session at a very magical beach!
So much twirling, running, giggling, jumping and flying… it was almost impossible to edit this one down to 32 pictures! The joy just beams out of the photos!
An in home session with a leaf blower and a pup!
We packed a lot into this hour long session! The beauty of being at home for your photos is that you can let the kids take the lead. When these kiddos started getting antsy we headed out for a walk with the dog and then came back in for a little musical concert in the kitchen!
A mini portrait session at the park.
I’ve been photographing the Moy family since big brother was a squishy little bub barely able to sit on his own. After years of photo sessions including a maternity, newborn, parties and an extended family session including grandparents, I look forward to their sessions the same way I look forward to catching up with old friends. I say it all the time but one of my favorite things about this job is watching kids grow up!

Another sweet session with two wriggly cutie pies at my favorite beach!
