Cade & Brodie! | Long Beach Lifestyle Photographer

What absolute dolls these two are, plus to mention a handful for their mommy! Brodie gave his mommy her exercise for the day! WOW, you go moms who have boys; my nerves would be shot!

I am such a worry-wort and I can only imagine the trouble boys get into & how many more visits to the ER! Despite their energy, I was thankful to keep up and get some adorable shots of these two; my only real challenge was getting them together! So here you go you absolutely adorable daredevils!

The LB Pride Parade | Long Beach Lifestyle Photographer | KrashingMotions

Finally the Pride Moments!!!! I hope you all enjoy the amazing colors of the rainbow, the liveliness of the paraders, and the commradertery of EVERYONE!!!! We are all equal!

Everyone came to show their support- families, gays, straights, celebrities, politicians, reverends! I had such a great time with my family & friends viewing this rainbow of support! Wow, what a photographers dream to shoot such a vivid display! My daughter loved the all the rainbow flags; one lady was so sweet to give her her own flag! It was such a positive atmosphere promoting love, equality, and family! Of course there were a few backless chaps- it's tradition! We just diverted Kruiz's attention to something else when that happened, but boy did Momma get some eye candy... (Gay eye candy - hubbies can't get jealous so Momma can look all she wants!) Momma also was quite envious of the Queens; wow there were some seriously beautiful Queens!

Bach Family | Newport Beach Lifestyle Photographer | KrashingMotions

OMG- yesterday was gorgeous! I had a shoot down in Balboa @ the Fun Zone and 'The Wedge'- so beautiful!

I love FACEBOOK! If it were not for facebook, I would not have

reconnected with so many old friends; one being Jill one of my best friends!

She and I have not been in touch for many years! We recently contacted each other (via FB) and she asked if she could hire me for a family session

the next time she made it out to California. My normal 1.5 hour session turned into a 3 hour session (too much to talk about & no extra charge for the conversation)! It was so fun catching up and getting to meet her

husband and two girls Grace & Paige (absolutely adorable)!

I wanted to post these before you head back home to Idaho Jill & Drew!

...new pics just added!!!....

Rock the Runway- OC Art Institute | Fashion Photographer | KrashingMotions

Saturday I had the extreme pleasure of shooting for the Art Institute's Fashion Show-Rock the Runway!

Tricia Cook my HS friend who now lives here in Long Beach (yeah!) hired me to shoot along side some great photographers- including great photographer students! I really had no idea what to expect from this show.
 WOW! I showed up to a magnificent & professional setting!
 The Art Institute really knows how to do it well! There was so much going on; hosted VIP area (which my husband was able to benefit), a fabulously tented catwalk, a stage for the rock bands (which rocked), multiple tented areas, a graffiti wall, yummy food created by the culinary students, a skate ramp, and more! Of course there were a hundred or so photographers from all walks of journalism. I along with another hired hand were hired by the Institute.
 We met Kevin and his fabulous students! Everyone was so sweet and accommodating! This was the perfect setting for me to shoot; I love be-bopping around all the hoopla and going behind the scenes capturing real moments!
 I also don't think I have ever seen so many "pretty" people in one setting which allowed for easy shooting. The models were ALWAYS ON; they were aware of every camera and spot on even behind the scenes! I got so many fun shots; I will probably have to post here a few times!!! Thank you to all you talented people who I shot and shot with!
