I know, I know, I’ve been doing way too many sneak peeks and not enough full posts lately, but I promise there is much more to come from this amazing wedding I did in San Diego last weekend – I just had to post a sneak peek – isn’t her dress adorable?!?!
Caitlin and Joe are probably two of the most genuine people I have ever met. Caitlin cares so deeply – for her family, her friends, people in need. They had their wedding at a park in Santa Barbara and everyone kept saying ‘this is so Caitlin’. Caitlin and Joe wanted to make sure that they...
Here is a sneak peek from an anniversary shoot I did with some great friends of ours from church.
It’s been a long time since I’ve taken a picture in front of the orange =)
Here’s a little peek from a fun family shoot I did with an adorable family from church.
I love the 5 spray painted on the door (I swear it wasn’t me haha) because there are actually 5 people in this picture – yep, you guessed it, baby #3 is on the way!!!!
We did it! We reached the goal of $500 to provide clean drinking water for 25 people in less than 36 hours!!! If you didn’t see my post about charity: water, here it is.
Now here are the details for the $5000 campaign to drill a well that will provide clean drinking water to an entire...
I recently read a book called The Hole in Our Gospel by World Vision President, Richard Stearns. Being President of World Vision, he has seen first hand the world’s poverty. This book pretty much rocked my world and I don’t think I’ll ever be the same, actually I hope I’ll never be the same. It...
Jena loves vintage things and Jason is the owner of Lefty’s tattoo, so I wanted to make sure their session really reflected who they are. We started out in their adorable kitchen:
I recently had the amazing opportunity to photograph a wonderful woman of God, Nicole Johnson. Nicole is a bestselling author and motivational speaker, including speaking at Women of Faith. She is about to release a new DVD series called “Hands Free” that deals with teaching women how to let go and enjoy the freedom of...
I have been so crazy busy lately, thus the neglected blog. I hope one day I can catch up on posting. One thing I did take a break for though, was a weekend trip to LA with Eric for our 15 year anniversary – yes folks, I was pretty much 12 when we got married...
Here is the full post as promised =)
Jennifer and Jeff are awesome and hilarious! I had so much fun with these two! They decided to have a private courthouse wedding which gave us tons of time (and locations) for portraits
These two are going to make for some pretty awesome parents:
the sun came out for like 2.7 seconds, at least we caught it =)
I have never met a cuter couple in all my life. I want Eric and I to be as cute as they are one day =)
Elle surprised her mom and dad by coming a month early – she wasn’t due till June 14th! She was a champion sleeper for her photo shoot. Her parents are hilarious! I have never laughed so hard on a newborn shoot. ever.
I am shocked that this picture wasn’t blurry from me laughing so hard =)
I’ve had a lot of people asking about 2010 mini sessions. After last year I decided that mini sessions are not for me. I learned a lot about myself last year and one of the big things I learned is that I love spending time with my clients. I love getting to know them and...
I am knee deep in a ton of work this week, so this is a tiny sneak peek at a wedding I shot this last weekend at an estate in Orange Park Acres with an incredible view:
All I can say is the picture with the headphones makes me want a boy super bad, but since my 3rd girl graduated from preschool today I will need to get my baby fix by taking pictures of cuties like this guy. The one on the right is one of his newborn portraits. Check out...
I can’t even begin to tell you how giddy I am right now over these new studio albums that arrived in the mail today!!!! As soon as I saw the box, I grabbed my camera and the albums had their very own photo shoot. The albums are from KISS and their philosophy at KISS is...
Seriously, how cute is Rachel?!? We had so much fun hanging out the other day taking some fun senior portraits. Rachel plays guitar, sings and is so sweet.
Then she helped me with a little project (more details to come) I have in the works for my favorite town….can you guess what town?????
My friend Salley has 3 beautiful sister in laws and they all got together this weekend to celebrate a bridal shower and a baby shower so she asked me to take some portraits while they were all in town =)
The wonderful Wedding Chicks featured Alison and Paul’s wedding!!!!! I feel so honored and blessed to see how God is growing my business.
You can see the full post here.
And then they also featured Danielle and Ryan’s wedding a while back but I never blogged about it….so here it is =)
Thank you Jocey and Amy –...
Alison and Paul are an amazing Godly couple and I had the pleasure of capturing their special day for them. Alicia Martinez did Alison’s makeup and Bekie Edwards did her hair. They choose to do a first look (and I’ll love them forever for it!) and it was so sweet to witness. Then their ceremony...
Last Friday I went to Temecula for the April shootout. It was fun to hang out with other photographers and take some pictures. Here are a couple favorites:
I’ve known this beautiful mama since she was teeny tiny. I was friends with her older sisters growing up and there are 5 girls in her family. Now there’s two granddaughters and this little guy is the first boy in a looooong time =)
Check out that adorable dimple and amazing hair:
beautiful big sissy wanted to make sure she got plenty of time in front of the camera too =)
and check out the difference 6 months makes:
Here are a couple shots from a fyeo {for your eyes only} party I did this weekend and when I say sneak peek I really mean sneak peek – hey, I want to keep it family friendly on this blog =)
I love my job – one day I’m doing newborn portraits, the next I’m doing...
Gentree is so beautiful and sweet. She has great style and loves doing hair and makeup. When we first started I told her that it usually takes people about 20 minutes to relax and loosen up for pictures, but she didn’t need 20 minutes, she was great from the first image on =)
Then afterward her...
This was the very first thing I saw when I walked through the door. Seriously, what more do new parents need? In my opinion, these are the 2 most heaven sent tools in the world haha =)
Levi was WIDE awake when I got there. I love this picture. It cracks me up. He was laying...
Sarah and I first met when we worked together at Vineyard Christian School 12 or 13 years ago. Sarah was single at the time but she soon met and fell in love with Bryce because of his heart for worship. Bryce is a pastor at Calvary Chapel Tustin and the love of the Lord is...
They had a fun area set up for silly dress up portraits, because you’re never too old to play dress up =)
Even the grown-ups got in on the fun (sorry Jim, heehee):
I’m so excited! This baby arrived in the mail yesterday! The wall above our sofa has been naked for far too long =)
You may be wondering what the difference between a canvas wrap and a gallery wrap is – well, I’ll tell you:
- a canvas wrap is a print printed on canvas and stretched around...
It makes my job so rewarding and easy when I get the privilege of doing portraits for people like these guys – fun, creative, great style, down to earth…..I could go on and on. Kerri and Keir were up for anything and really put a lot of thought into their session – you should have...
Madi is turning 13 and she is so sweet and so beautiful and so funny and everything else amazing. I’ve know her since she was just 7 or 8! Her mom wanted to do a shoot to get pictures for her birthday party invitation. We had so much fun in this orange grove and Madi...
Alison and Paul are the type of people that can make you instantly feel like you’ve know them forever. They love the outdoors and they are both on the worship team at their church. They also love food so we thought it would be fun to start out their session at a fun little cafe:
It...
I met Natalie and Tim at church years ago and I am so excited that they are having their first baby!!! They are so adorable together:
They were such good sports about this silly idea I had:
So excited for you guys and I cannot wait to meet your little bundle of pink or blue =)
Welcome to my new blog where I have a new logo and a new watermark. I’ve been working hard trying to set up the new blog and Natalie and Tim have been soooo patient waiting for a blog post from the super fun maternity session we did. So here is a little sneak peek. Check...
I recently added this awesome sofa to my prop collection and it will be with me at the mini sessions coming up along with a bunch of other fun stuff I have up my sleeve =)
Which reminds me – I only have one spot left for mini sessions and after that the next available session...
I think it just runs in the family. Here is his mom and dad before he was born:
and here he is now (I swear he did this on his own):
isn’t he the sweetest?
One of my favorite parts of being a photographer is going into peoples homes and spending time with them (and believe me, it takes a looong time to get a newborn to go to sleep – I think they know I’m coming and want to stay awake for their close up, haha ) even when...
I can’t even begin to tell you how many times I said the word ‘treat’ on Saturday morning…..Emma always perks up her ears when she hears the word treat, and her owner wanted her ears up for her pictures…too funny.
