Mike and Tina got married at Tivoli-Too in Newport Beach on a gorgeous April day. They started out their day at the Surf and Sand Resort getting ready for the big event. They had a bit of a rough morning that included the closure of several miles of Pacific Coast Highway and Tina’s makeup artist canceling at the last minute. Thankfully two makeup artists arrived to save the day and PCH opened up enough to allow the bridal party to get to the hotel. Having gotten all their wedding day drama out of the way, the rest of the day was amazingly perfect. Congrats Mike and Tina!

Christine….
Christine came in for a some portraits and a headshot. We started off her session with a quick walk around Viking Way – the quaint little street that the studio is located on. Ivy covered walls, a red panel and some really cool chairs just outside of one of the local salons made for a nice ‘set’.

Mrs Einstein….
Mrs Einstein is a sweet German Shephard that lost a leg in a car accident. After she healed from her injuries, she was adopted by Christine – a wonderful and generous woman who not only gave Einstein a loving home but had her certified as a therapy dog. As soon as the last of the paperwork and training is complete, Mrs Einstein along with Christine will be visiting disabled veterans from our current war as well as from prior wars. I can’t wait for all those brave men and women to meet Einstein and hopefully get one of her sweet, gentle kisses.
