Cousin Love. (CA Central Valley Photographer)

Cousins.

I hope these girls realize just how lucky they are to have one another. Some of my best childhood memories include playing and getting into trouble with my best cousins Amelia and Christie. I have a fierce love for those women still to this day. I love em like nobody's business.

Brynley, Ella and Brynlee (yep, two of em!) are 10 years old and SO sweet and beautiful - it was fun fun fun to do this shoot with them. I hope they treasure these photos - I know I will!

And OH, isn't this the lovliest orchard EVER?

David & Sarah - Engaged!

Meet David and Sarah. I just met David officially this past weekend. Now Sarah on the other hand - I have known her a lot longer - pretty much from the day she was born. Yep - she's my sister. I absolutely LOVED this shoot - I always really enjoy engagement sessions because it is SO fun to see a couple so completely in love, and to witness how they interact. This was even more fun for me than usual, because I love Sarah to pieces! I am so happy to see her so happy, and I must say - she and David are a perfect pair for SURE! I am beyond thrilled to welcome him to the family.

And for those of you who may be wondering - 5'11" and 6'10". And yes, they both play a wicked game of basketball.

Can't wait for the wedding in August!

Donny & Christine - Engaged! (CA Central Valley Photographer)

I am not gonna lie - I am in LOVE with these two! Donny and Christine were absolutely divine to work with - it is a joy to be around two people who are so madly, truly in love! Looking forward to the big day in March!

A Wedding, Two Babies, a Senior and Some Friends!

Oh, I could go on and on about why it has taken me so long to update the blog...truth is, I have been lazy! I have had a bunch of fabulous shoots in the past couple months...I do SO love what I get to do! I am planning on making a few posts here in the next couple of days and combining everything to get caught up. I do need to share at least one or two from every session, I know! Spread the love!

Meet baby Kash. Kissable, loveable, and brand spanking new. Love him. Love his family.

Kash with his amazing mama, Kerri. I love her, too :)

This is Taylor - she is a doll - I have known her since she was a kid and I cannot believe she is already a Senior! Where does the time go?? We had a blast doing her Senior pics...look out world, she's coming!!

Feet :)

My favorite shot of Tay. Happy girl!

Bria, Brie, Lauren and Sophia. Lovely, lovely girls, all of them. Best friends shoots are some of my very favorites!

Attitude!!
Sherry and Steve's wedding - a beautiful day at the beach in Monterey!
Loved her cake, and the sand ceremony at the wedding. Simply beautiful, and so meaningful! I am so happy I got to be a part of it all.
Oh, this face! Adorable baby Luke was quite inquisitive and SUCH a good baby for our shoot when he was just a week old. Newborn goodness.
More to come! Life is good!

McKenna - KHS Senior

This is McKenna - she is an amazingly talented girl - singer, plays several instruments - this girl has it all! She is the niece of my very best friend Valerie from high school, and I had a blast riding around town with her findind fun photo spots! Happy Senior year, McKenna!

Love this one in color and in B&W

CA Central Valley Photographer: Kristi

My friend Kristi has her own photography business and wanted a few portraits done of herself - I was happy to oblige! We toodled out to a location I haven't been to in a while, and got some GREAT results! Love, love, love the light here just before sunset. Glorious!

Here are just a few shots from this amazing session :)

Bailey M - Senior

When Bailey's Dad first called me to schedule her Senior photo shoot, he kept telling me what a great girl she was...I thought oh sure, EVERY parent says that...and then I met her! He's right!

Bailey is just a ray of sunshine and a true joy to be around. I loved shooting her Senior pictures, and LOVE that she has restored an old El Camino...so cool.

I wanna be her when I grow up :)
