Mini Sessions at Saint Francis Episcopal – Fields, trees & light
We are hosting a portion of our annual holiday mini sessions in Palos Verdes at Saint Francis Episcopal! We believe that every family should have a professional portrait at the end of each year. It’s a great way to remember who you are in the most beautiful way possible. If you are looking to take your family photos, call us to schedule your family session! We are so excited to see all of our friends and families!
Saint Francis is known for its beautiful eucalyptus and open-air feel. We most love the glorious ivy-covered walls and the beautiful trees that make every photo feel like a fairytale. There is a spectacular view of the ocean and hiking trails all close together. This location is perfect for those looking for that grassy whimsical look for their holiday mini session! We are very excited to take photos of your family at Saint Francis Episcopal!

Garden Inspired wedding in Palos Verdes // ©2016 Sun & Sparrow South Coast Botanical Garden wedding photographer
Some of our favorite moments from the wedding reception were simply standing together as a newly married couple, looking out over the field and watching people we love, both kids and adults, talking, laughing, and playing. We loved having so many people that we love (many that we don’t get to see often) together with us, celebrating and supporting us in entering into this next phase of our lives together. We felt an overall sense of joy and celebration, which was what we wanted! It was important to us that our guests could sense our personalities in the details of the wedding and we feel like that was accomplished. The wedding was in such a beautiful venue that we were able to keep the decorations pretty simple and open up the field to play in. Our flowers were incredible. They were centered around protea (the uniquely beautiful national flower of South Africa – where Steph used to live) and other brightly colored, alien-looking flowers that you couldn’t help but touch.
We had a lot of help from friends, family, and former students in putting things together and making the ceremony and reception happen. This included hair and makeup, DJ-ing, live guitar playing before and during the ceremony, and even the creation of a Steph and Tom coloring book! Not to mention, Tom and one of the groomsmen made the delicious beer!
We loved our coordinator, all of the venders, and especially our photographers! We would recommend all of them to anyone looking for lovely people who are easy to work with, organized, and do great work!

After doing mini sessions for just about ten years, and family portraits for... who knows how long, I`m finally trying this out. Im hoping that we can get some great smiles from the little ones today with a "treasure" incentive. Those young ones really need a lot of encouragement. Im hoping this helps!
If you still want to join me for a mini session this year, I highly recommend booking right now. They are going fast and I keep having to open up more. If you haven`t booked already, this is the time!! I only have a couple more days I can open up before the Callender is fully booked.
I cant wait to see everyone this year!

Take me on all your adventures.
This was taken at Mt rainier and I love the change of pace here. C asked to lay in the grass and capture this pose and mood.. Now I kind if want to add this one in more. Isn`t it wonderful?! I love their connection and how they fully immersed themselves in their engagement session.
This didn`t go as planned. When they arrived, they knew what was about to happen. Both of them.
When i first talked to L, we chatted about the perfect plan for the proposal. We went through our different options.... I could hide, or we would play "photoshoot," and then he would surprise C with his proposal right when the light and angle were perfect.
The day came, but C knew. She knew the plan and had her own, too. It was perfect! When L and I talked that morning, C revealed that she was in on the secret too and that she wanted to propose to L and present him a ring, just as L would for her.
It all came to a pinnacle when the light was right and the angle came into place. I gave them the cue and off the walked into the sunset, perfectly famed by haystack rock on Cannon Beach. It felt like time slowed, and they shared love notes with each other as they placed their rings on each other`s hands... the bliss became more real.
The rest of the session was full of glee and the truest love from these two and It was the greatest gift to capture.
