Boudoir.

2012-01-22T19:07:00.000-08:00

This was my very first boudoir photo shoot, and I loved it! I luckily was shooting a friend who made the shoot so much more comfortable for the both of us! She was a natural in front of the camera, and knew exactly what she wanted which helped me a lot as a guide! I really enjoyed the shoot and all of the fun we had. Hopefully will do another in the future! Enjoy!

This was my first time second shooting a wedding with Nicole Angelo Photography. I was quite nervous even though I was only a second shooter, but was pleased to be gaining the experience. Luckily, Nicole has asked me to shoot other weddings since this, so I will get to editing those and uploading them soon!

McElroy Family.

2011-07-10T13:40:00.001-07:00

I used to work in Ms. McElroy's classroom, and it turns out we have mutual family friends! She is a hardworking mother, who is kind, and passionate about what she does. This was an impromptu photoshoot while I was visiting her at her house.

Carter and Ryland.

2011-07-10T13:10:00.000-07:00

This was my second time shooting Carter, as it had been nearly a year since I had done my newborn shoot with him. This time however, I was able to get some shots of him with his brother Ryland, as these are the moments in a child's life where they are changing so quickly, you definitely want to capture them.

Some headshots I did for a friend. Another quick shoot, utilizing local backgrounds for various textures. He was very easy to work with, and modeling for me came naturally!

Marshall Family

2011-07-10T12:48:00.000-07:00

I previously met with Nikki and the boys for a brief shoot (see previous post), and was asked to do some family portraits for the holidays. I was pleased to have a second chance to shoot these adorable blonde haired boys, and even more pleased to photograph such a gorgeous family. We had a fun time at Manhattan Beach pier, and I hope to get to work with them again in the future!

Hello!

2011-07-10T12:27:00.001-07:00

I obviously have been absent from updating my blog these past several months. It was mostly a result of being overwhlemed with my master's degree program! However, I have recently completed my master's degree, and hope to keep this up to date, as well as making some changes to my blog eventually. So in the meantime, I will get to updating what has been going on since September of 2010! Thanks for the visit!

Anthony and Michelle

2010-09-22T18:38:00.000-07:00

I've known Anthony since elementary school, and we basically grew up together. I hadn't seen Anthony for over 12 years when he contacted me to do his engagement photos. I was not only excited to see him as a grown man, but also to meet his lovely bride to be, Michelle. They were such a lovely couple, and I wish them all the best.

Carter.

2010-08-18T23:44:00.001-07:00

Meet Carter. He was my first newborn session, and was such a precious, pleasant, and darling baby. He was also a very corporative model ;) His mother, Jessica, was very patient in working with me which was a relief considering it was my first. Luckily, I've known Jess for a long time, so it was a very comfortable shoot anyway. I really enjoyed this type of session, and hope to do more of these in the future. Thanks Jess and baby Carter!

Ashley.

2010-08-09T23:41:00.000-07:00

I had a lovely shoot with my friend Ashley last week. It was more or less for my portrait series, but I also thought she could pose for practice for me, as I've wanted to photograph her for awhile! She has an infectious smile and laugh, and I had so much fun working with her. She and I met the last year of our undergraduate careers in 2006, and have become better friends over the years. Because she enjoyed the shoot and results so much, we've scheduled another date for something else in the future! Hooray!

Reed and Nate.

2010-08-01T23:55:00.001-07:00

Meet Reed and Nate, and their lovely mother Nikki. These two boys are the most adorable and friendly children I have ever met. This was my first planned baby shoot which was held in Manhattan Beach. As this was my first real session with kids, I've learned that I need to be continuously shooting and running back and forth! It was a great experience, and I plan to have another session with Nikki, her husband and the boys. Such a lovely and gorgeous family. I can't wait to work with them again!

Danielle and Adam's Engagement shoot...

2010-06-21T15:24:00.001-07:00

Round 1. This was my first time shooting a couple, and first time shooting an engagement session. My sister and Adam have known each other for 7 years, and are to be married in February of 2011 in Jamaica. Their interaction was playful and carefree and I hope I was able to capture that in my photos. However, this is only round one of two (maybe three) engagement sessions, so there will be more to come! Enoy!

Jessica W.

2010-03-25T01:21:00.000-07:00

This is Jessica. We had previously met through a mutual friend last year. She is part of the Domino Affect Dance Company I did a few photos for, and contacted me to do some headshots for her. This was my first time doing headshots to actually be used, rather than for practice purposes. Luckily she was great to work with, and oh my goodness, do I love her green eyes! Feedback always appreciated. Thanks!

Absence.

2010-03-16T13:13:00.000-07:00

I know I haven't posted in awhile, so I just wanted to say hello. I've got a shoot lined up next week, so I'm looking forward to posting images from that. Think I will be adding some of my own personal self portraits here eventually too.

Hope you're all well! Will try to be around on here more often!

Heather

2010-02-18T23:59:00.001-08:00

Meet Heather and Jake. I hadn't seen Heather for almost 10 years or so, until today. She recently found an interest in photography, and we've been in touch recently, so today we went for coffee and then took Jake to a park to play. I had my camera on me, and took some impromptu photos of them both. Definitely a good looking family ;)

Aww Jakey!

Holly

2010-02-09T02:00:00.000-08:00

Had a photoshoot with my friend Holly (who has appeared in my previous posts) a few weeks ago. I had been waiting to post these as I wanted to get caught up posting some older stuff. As you can see, I have a fondness for backlight. These are just a few of the images from the shoot. She chose several that she liked (which made me happy!). I just need to get around to editing them all! So for now, I hope you enjoy these! ;)

Dance Dance

2010-02-09T01:01:00.000-08:00

These are from a photoshoot I had with my friend's dance team in November. It was my first time working with more than one person. Great experience, though I realized that I need some improvement on directing and also some pre-'vision' preparation. The first image is my favorite as I had imagined it prior to the shoot. I suppose for beginners, like myself, it's best to have a plan in mind. ;)

I photographed Jessica in July of 2009. This was my first 'photoshoot' with someone. Luckily Jessica was great to work with. These are some of my favorite images from the shoot!

Portraits

2010-02-03T22:23:00.000-08:00

I've been doing this series for almost a year now. The concept is an 'up close and personal' image of friends or family. I usually like backlit images, but with these I've just worked with the environment present. These are some of my favorites from the past year. I plan to continue these shots anytime I have the chance to photograph anyone inspiring. Check back for more updates!

Hello!

2010-02-03T22:08:00.000-08:00

I am a freelance photographer specializing in portraiture photography, engagements and newborn and family photography. I love shooting in natural light to capture the essence and beauty of special moments. Though I mostly engage in portraiture photography, I also enjoy shooting landscapes, abstract, and fine art images. I have recently been requested to second shoot various weddings. I look for different perspectives and search for something inspiring in each environment.

Please contact me at britt.irvine@gmail.com if you have any inquiries.

Thank you for viewing, and enjoy!

All the best,

-Britt x
