Tangled Up in Love {Fresno, CA. Christmas Card Photo Session}

I swear this session had me cracking up laughing from beginning to end! I love this couple! Like so many, I have become an addict of the website pinterest and have now shared my addiction with this hubby's Mrs.! :) Anyway, she had seen an image there which helped inspire her to do something similar but amongst Christmas trees for this year's Christmas cards. So we ventured out to the local Christmas tree lot and couldn't stop laughing at all the weird looks and staring that were going on around us! So much fun and so glad everyone was cool with being gawked at. What? Is it not common to go to a Christmas tree lot and see this?? HA!HA!

Super Adorable Family {Fresno, CA. Fall Family Portraits}

I have been blessed in so many ways over the past year! One wonderful blessing that I am thankful for is the friendship I have made with this mom. It is such a joy to know moms who share the same values as I do. However not only does she put faith and family as her priorities like I do but she also places her love of photography as a close second too.
Not only do we chat about the digital age of photography but we both were involved with photography during the "dark ages" of film. Ahhh, yes I love to reminisce on those good 'ole days with her! :) She's is a great friend and I am thankful to know such a wonderful person! Wishing you and your family a joyous 2012!

Family Time {Sanger, CA. Fall Family Portraits}

I enjoyed spending the afternoon with such a great family! I love when I have family sessions when the whole family genuinely has fun and enjoys spending time with eachother capturing family time moments. Not to mention that this family's outer and inner beauty made for gorgeous pictures...from grandma to parents to kids, what an amazing family they are! Thank you for having me capture your family's images.

Happiness {Sanger, CA. Fall Family Portraits}

This mom and I go waaayyy back....since kindergarten! Throughout our lives we attended the same schools and our father's coached football together. She has always been an awesome friend to me and I am proud after all these years to still call her my friend and to now have our sons be friends too. I am so happy for you my friend to see the wonderful blessings you have in your life and I wish for continued blessings for you and your beautiful family for the new year! Hugs!

Friends {Fresno, CA. Fall Family Portraits}

What an amazing family this family is! I had the wonderful opportunity to meet and photograph this family for the first time last year. Throughout this past year I have had the privilege to come over and visit to help capture their youngest little guy's first year images. I love the relaxed setting of the first year pictures because not only do I get to visit with their kiddos but I also get some mom-to-mom chat time with the wonderful moms. I have had some great chats over the last 12 months with this mom and I feel so blessed to call her and her family my dear friends. Thank you for having me do your family's portrait again this year! Much love and blessings to all of you!

Celebrating Life with a Wonderful Family {Sanger, CA. Fall Family Portraits}

I try to live my life by several rules. One rule that I follow is to enjoy the supporting people around me and telling them as much as possible how much I appreciate them. These are the people that are there to help me celebrate through happy times and those who offer a hug and a listening ear during the difficult times and I hope to do the same for them. Friends and family who are there to help celebrate the ups and downs of life is a quality that I value in myself and others.
With this family it is easy to see that they share this same appreciation for eachother and all the others around them. They were all awesome people to spend the evening with on their beautiful property. Thank you for allowing me to capture your celebration of life! Happy Holidays to all of you!
