I could go on and on about this girl…you all know her as my go-to model, the girl I call when I need someone to shoot to try out my new camera, or my new lens. Or to scope out a new location. Whatever the reason may be, she never fails me. NEVER.
Well, here we are. My girl is engaged and she is basically the happiest person I know. And I only wish her the best.
Here are my favs from Jenny and Kris’ engagement session. We started off with their gorgeous apartment complex…

opps…gotta wipe off the lipstick…

I couldn’t decide if I like the color or the black & white, so I’m going to post both…


ahhh…you all knew it was coming…the solo shot.


We even got hot and steamy in the club house kitchen.

We did our best to keep it PG for you!

Our girl is all grown up…we started with the solo shot, but she couldn’t wait to get her man in the photo!

The happy couple.

Bringing in TIGHT!


Ok, so Jenny couldn’t wait to show us her wedding dress. We ended up with some mock-studio images.


After a quick change, we headed to the Montage for a different feel.





Jenny & Kris – congrats! Have a great time in Bora Bora! May your love bloom and grow…
**special thanks to my bestest friend Carol for helping me out!**
I love La Jolla. I love outdoor weddings. I love purple and turqoise. I love relaxed, beautiful brides. I love kind, handsome grooms. I love people in love.
I basically enjoyed every bit of Saturday’s La Jolla wedding. How can I not? Wanna see proof?
Well…
Let me start off with a gorgeous pair of purple shoes for the bride…

matched with awesome jewerly


topped with an amazing dress.

The cottage they got dresssed in was decorated with beautiful orchids.


Hello, beautiful!


Her smile was contagious!

…and while I was shooting the bride, Jimmy was busy photographing the venue.
Here comes the bride…



Sealing the deal!




…one in b & w


T & J – thank you so much for letting us in your precious day! We enjoyed every moment of it!
Guess who’s 28? Late twenties? ME! And like every Southern California resident, I headed to the Happiest Place on Earth. I’m sure you’re sick of looking at Disneyland photos from everyone’s FB posts, but this is MY time. ME. MOI. So here they are…enjoy!


I’ve been to Vegas so many times, and have done the same things…buffet, gamble, shop, hotel hop…and while these things are fun and enjoyable, I have always wanted to do something different…perhaps away from the strip.
…and that is exactly what we did last weekend. Instead of rolling out of bed and wandering endlessly through the hotel, Jimmy, Josh, Alyssa and I got in our car and headed for Waffles Cafe.
To my surprise, Waffles Cafe was totally different from what I imagined. I imaged a little IHOP, with a waiteress and a lovely menu. What I walked into was a small shop, with 5 tables and a menu on the wall. And the food…the food was light, crunchy and absolutely delicious! Jimmy ordered a turkey sandwich, Josh ordered ham and bacon, Alyssa ordered fruit, and I ordered Hawaiian pizza. Here are some pics…

After our breakfast, we stopped by the Red Rock Casino and then drove over to the set of PawnStars.

Of course, we had to hit the bar. We chose Parasol Down at the Wynn. They have crazy shows (literally) every half hour. Don’t believe me? Here’s proof.

Can’t wait to go back and explore more!
Believe it or not, the holiday season is just around the corner. Here in Torrance, Halloween costume stores are popping up in every possible corner, and Target has already cleared out their back-to-school section for orange and yellow candies. Before you know it, we will all be scrambling for Christmas gifts….I know I will!
Well, I’m happy to announce that Sakura Photography now have gift cards! You can purchase these for your families, friends, co-workers, gym instructor, your child’s teacher…basically anybody for any price. The amount on the card is totally up to you. You can pay for a sitting fee, a CD, a canvas print…anything you want, in any combination. Cool, huh?
Please contact me via e-mail if you are interested!
