Scripps College Campus / Sierra La Verne Country Club / Wedding Photographer / Vanessa + Justin

On a beautiful warm sunny day in La Verne, I had the pleasure and honor of assisting my good friend and mentor Carissa Woo as her second photographer. The lovely married couple is Vanessa and Justin, and they had their first look viewing at the Scripps College campus. It was a beautiful wedding reception with the couple's families and friends at the Sierra La Verne Country Club with a spectacular couple's 1st dance and daughter-father dance. Overall, this gorgeous wedding was bursting with colors, fun, and especially lots of love. Congrats to the beautiful couple Vanessa and Justin! Please enjoy some great photos through the Janice Owen Photography experience. Thank you.

Irvine Regional Park of Orange / Maternity Photographer / Dana + Andy

     On a beautiful day in California at the Irvine Regional Park, we had the privilege to capture a maternity photo session for the beautiful Mom-to-be, Dana, and her wonderful husband Andy. She's due to give birth in March, and they're extremely excited for their little bundle of joy. 

     Here's a short love story of how Dana and Andy met: They met back in college of 2005 at a Resort named Sycamore Mineral Springs in Avila Beach, California. Dana worked the mornings in the Gift Shop and Andy was the weird night guy that closed the Hillside Hot Tubs at 2am. A group of their coworkers used to get together for “Thirsty Thursdays” and one night a spark just struck between Dana and Andy. They started dating in March 2006 and have been best friends ever since. Dana and Andy later got married in Cabo in a very intimate beach ceremony with close family and friends on August 25, 2012. 

     Dana and Andy are both lovers of animals and all things home improvement. They love spending time with their two Frenchies Zoe and Winston and their two kitties Chompy and Lola. They recently purchased their dream home, a 1921 Craftsman in Old Towne Orange that they enjoy doing home improvement projects on and making a home for their their growing family. They imagine raising their family in this quaint town and having pool parties and BBQs on the warm summer nights.        

     Dana and Andy would like to announce the gender of their baby through the Janice Owen Photography blog here, and we are so honored to share the exciting news to the world. They are having a baby GIRL and they will be sharing the name after her birth! YAY! Congratulations to Dana and Andy, may your future be as bright and happy as you both are! Please enjoy these beautiful maternity photos. 

Happy Lunar New Year / Year of the Monkey / Temple Ming Ya Buddhist Foundation of Los Angeles / Michael Lu

One of my favorite hobbies is that I enjoy photographing kids and as an aunt, I had lots of fun photographing my adorable nephew Michael as well. He's 20 months old, but don't be fooled by his cute looks, this toddler is quite a handful! Michael had a blast exploring the beautiful Temple of Ming Ya Buddhist Foundation of LA as the result. Please enjoy some fun photos through the Janice Owen Photography perspective. Year of the Monkey, may this new year bring you and your family prosperity, good luck and good fortune!!!
