A few fun family photos with one of my fave families to warm you up this chilly Wednesday…
Merry almost Christmas!












Photography serving Orange County and Los Angeles, but available for worldwide travel.
Katy and Kris’ post apocalyptic wedding was featured on Whimsical Wonderland Weddings. Their day that celebrated forever life and love with the gorgeous setting and fern and succulent blooms was perfection and I’m happy it’s being showcased! Check out their rad feature here.

i loved this wedding!! the details are so,so cool. great feature, woot!!
Lovato Images portrait of the fiercely fabulous Melinda Morgan of Morgan Marketing & Public Rleations was featured along with the wildly wonderful woman on Public Relations Society of America. Read the article here. Way to go, Melinda!

The Gonzalez girls took advantage of Lovato Images’ family portrait special this fall with an at-home sitting (well, really their parents did, but I’m giving them credit). I met the darling girls and their parents on a sunny morning in their Diamond Bar home. It had been a few years since I last photographed them and it was great to see how much they’d grown and how beautifully they had done so! I mean just look at them! Duhhharrrling!
We did a casual little session but their personalities were huge. Love when that shines through.
















Abbie and Zach have a special connection with The Driftwood and as I sit here at their table, I can’t break away long enough to explain it.
They are the most deep and unique couple I’ve known in a long time. And even that, takes longer than this warm and wonderful night has to lend.
Here are a few shots to share a segment of the story for now. More to come…










There are no words that could describe how incredible that night was, how amazing it is to have YOU as my bestest friend, nor how fabulous the pictures thus far have turned out!!! Shooting with you again made me feel so beautiful for the first time in a long time! Your light bursts through you, through your camera and through your subjects and creates magic in everything you do.
Love you J…
