Pasadena Engagement: Delicia and Todd

Posted in Engagement

This past Sunday, I met up with Delicia and Todd at Pasadena City Hall. We took a few photos around the grounds before heading up to Millard Canyon in Altadena for a different look. Todd is passionate about hiking and being outdoors, so the environment at Millard Canyon was perfect to capture this lovely couple. Also, on their second date, Todd bought hiking boots for Delicia… so she knew from the beginning that hiking was going to be part of their lives as a couple. I’m looking forward to photographing their wedding in June at the amazing Long Beach Museum of Art! Also, special thanks to Stacey of Stacey Sewell Designs for introducing me to Delicia and Todd! Enjoy the photos! -Allison

The grounds at Pasadena City Hall are gorgeous and Delicia and Todd fit right in!

I just love the next two of Delicia!

This was one of the last shots before we headed to Millard Canyon…

The next few are some of my favorites from the day…

Todd was in his element with the surroundings and the perfect lady…

Todd looks so at peace and same with Delicia…

Congrats on your engagement, Delicia and Todd!

Los Angeles Wedding: Stacey Sewell Designs

Posted in Wedding

A few weekends ago, I had the honor of photographing wedding details and a few portraits of Nikole & Philip’s wedding for Stacey Sewell Designs. Stacey did all of the design and implementation (with a few helpers) for Nikole and Philip’s wedding in Los Angeles. She completely tranformed the gymansium at Zion Hill Baptist Church in LA for the reception. I absolutely love the use of colors and Stacey did an incredible job with all the details. Also, I captured a few shots of Nikole getting the finishing touches done with her make-up and hair as well as a few shots of the processional. Thank you, Stacey, for having me capture your work and I look forward to working with you again very soon at Tené & Jermel’s wedding and Delicia & Todd’s wedding in June!

Long Beach Newborn: Will Armstrong

Posted in Newborn

Last week, I photographed baby Will (13 days old) at his home with his mom and dad. I have known his dad, Brian, for 27 years and his mom, Jen, is also a Trojan- so needless to say, it was an honor to capture this family of three (well, five, including their pups Roxy and Merlin). When I photograph newborns, I love capturing their environment as well as their interaction with mom and dad, so I just love this set of photos! Enjoy just a few of the many photos of this adorable baby boy and I look forward to watching him grow for many years to come. Best, Allison

The details in Will’s room are so perfect and personal as well. For example, the black booties were Will’s great grandfather’s (Donald)…

He was so good while getting ready for his first photo shoot!

ALMOST asleep on mom and dad’s bed… love this… so sweet…

He is surrounded with so much love (not pictured: grandparents and lots of aunts, uncles, and cousins)…

Just love his little feet and hands, and the cutest yawns!

Will was so great and at the perfect age to capture his “newborn stage”

Brian and Jen adore their baby boy so much…

The Winne the Pooh quote hangs over Will’s crib

Brian made this boat for his baby before Will was born…

Like father, like son…

Merlin and Roxy making their big debut… they love their little brother!

Congrats, Armstrong Family!!!
