Reviews for Araxi Photography
My photos are awesome!!! I would recomend Araxi to anyone (especially thoes who are embarrased or uncomfortable in front of a lense, such as my husband). Araxi is so warm-hearted and down to earth. Her eye for photography is instinctive. We had an amazing time taking both our engagement and wedding photos and were blown away with the results. Araxi finds the perfect balance of professionalism and is incredibly easy to work with. She knows how to bring the best features out of everyone. I am in love with our albums and their clean simplistic look. I found so many others to look cluttered and collage like. Araxi, you are an amazing talent and I look forward to working with you again.
I have known Araxi for some time now, and seriously cannot say enough nice things about her. She has a bubbly, outgoing personality that makes you feel comfortable the first second you are around her. I knew I wanted to do Boudoir photos for my husband as a wedding gift, and I just knew I would instantly be at ease around her. The shoot was so much fun, and the pictures were gorgeous, I will seriously treasure them always, they are so beautiful and my husband was in shock (he still talks about them every day). She really made me feel beautiful and sexy and the pictures really show that. Araxi was also the second shooter to my awesome wedding photographer, Chelsea Elizabeth, and was so sweet and such a pleasure to have around on my wedding day. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone thinking about portraits, boudoir, wedding photographer, seriously just about anything. She ROCKS!!! :)
I HIGHLY recommend Araxi to anyone and everyone! She was incredible at our wedding! She was very sweet and very easy to work with, she has such incredible energy and an artistic eye. We love all the work that she's done for our engagement photos and wedding photos. We ordered a couple of albums from her, the layout and the photos of the albums are amazing! Something we'll cherish forever. It was such a joy and honor having her be a part of our wedding. Thank you so much, Araxi!
Thank you so much for blogging us SO quickly. We honestly had a blast with you! You were the perfect fit for us. Your gentle nature was totally unobtrusive. You allowed us to be natural, which translated to amazing photographs. Every picture has a raw feeling to it, nothing seems fake or forced. You work in an amazing way, capturing a moment in time that's brevity makes it almost undetectable. When you photographed my proposal, you witnessed a series of moments that will live on forever in the heads of me and my bride to be. As it stands, my beautiful fiancée and I now have that emotion, that loving feeling, that second in our lives forever. We will never lose that moment in time because you skillfully coordinated with me to ensure it never ages, it never grows old, it stays forever young, forever willing to re-tell our story of love to anyone that will listen.
You were so sweet, and you went so far above and beyond, I cannot thank you enough. I will forever recommend you to anyone that ever mentions photography to me. I will forever cite you when I show off my proposal pictures.
Thank you thank you thank you Araxi Dertavitian!

Missy and Jim: Anytime
Last year I had the opportunity to do an anytime session for Jim and Missy while they were out here for a convention, and I was so excited when they emailed me to let me know they wanted to do another one! We decided on a different location this time and ventured Downtown and we had a blast! Here are a few of my favorites!









Prima and Jack | The Wedding
I hope everyone is having a wonderful start to the new year! I know I am, and so excited about what 2010 has in store. Im still catching up on posts from 2009 so without further ado here is a wedding I shot with Chelsea at the Turnip Rose in Costa Mesa!











Monica and Jesus | The Wedding
I had the pleasure of shooting Monica and Jesus' wedding a few months back with Nicky of Eight20. Loved this wedding, the couple was beautiful and the wedding was held at the gorgeous Spanish Hills Country Club. Here are a few of my favorites! I have about eight more weddings to blog from this summer so Im trying to catch up on some blogging! Look for more this week!








Giving Thanks
Thanksgiving is probably one of my favorite days of the year. Its not about gift giving, its just about giving thanks and being together. I have been doing a daily "I am thankful for" on Facebook and Twitter but decided that these special people couldn't be summed up in 140 characters.
Today, and everyday I am thankful for my boys, the two that are here, and the one on the way :) My family is the most important thing to me and these boys just bring me joy every day, even those less than perfect days. They are my strength and while my world is centered so much around family life , they allow me to be me, love me unconditionally, and support me in every way. So today and everyday I am thankful to have these beautiful and amazing people in my life and looking forward to the next one (who is still nameless) to join our family.
To all of you I wish you a beautiful Thanksgiving with your loved ones.
