Kristin Taylor is the fabulous woman behind A Taylor Made Wedding, an Orange County wedding coordinator with such a great, vibrant personality and style. I was so happy to go down to Orange County last weekend to take some portraits of her for her new Website and marketing materials that are currently in the works. Last week, the storms here in California were just crazy, so we were lucky to get a super gorgeous day for this shoot!

How cute is Kristin?? She worked it. And the light after all of the storms was superb.

It was fun to incorporate a few props into this shoot. I loved that she had Emily Post’s Etiquette book  just sitting on her desk in her office… every planner should own a copy.

We had a little fun with this awesome black and white striped ribbon… wedding planners always have extra ribbon laying around.

Kristin’s younger sister Chelsea (aka Choo Choo, as I learned during the shoot is Kristin’s main assistant, so we got a few photos with her as well.

I had a great time shooting the two ladies together. I have a younger sister and loved seeing the bond that these two have- I can relate to it.

They both had the greatest laughs!

Some basic portraits of the fabulous duo…

Love these last two of the lovely Kristin.

Kristin and Chelsea- you ladies were SO much fun! I had such a great time and I’m so looking forward to working with you in the near future!

I love how being around kids makes me look at the world in a different way. Their questions about the simplest things in life make me reconsider why things are the way they are, which is really refreshing and interesting. They’re joyful, positive and embody possibility for the future. It’s for all of these reasons that I truly love to photograph children. It’s, in many ways, much more challenging to photograph a child because most of the time they have their own ideas on how to pose and behave during a photo session. But, when you get a shot that is truly reflective of their growing personalities, it’s so great. I posted a Sneak Peek image last week of this session. Their aunt left me the most flattering comment I can ever hope to receive as a portrait photographer, especially as a kids portrait photographer: “You captured their relationship in one picture.”

The relationship between sisters is very dear to me as I have one sister who is my best friend. These girls already have such a great bond… I hope I was able to capture that and that I can continue to document their lives as they grow older.

She was a little unsure what she was supposed to do…

One of my favorites!
