First Session

Wow, it has been a while since I last posted. I had decided to take a break the last few months to prepare for the birth of my new baby. So now that my break is coming to an end and to help me get back into the swing of things, I decided to have my first session back on my new baby. Here are just a few!

Mother + Daughter = Best Friends

So I have known Liz for years....we go waaayyy back....starting like junior high! She was a great friend to me back then and she is still a wonderful friend now! So when she asked me to do a session with her and her mother, I was totally jazzed to do it! I have always considered my relationship with my mom as being close and for as long as I can remember, she and her mom were just as close. It was a thrill to witness through the lens how great of friends these two are....not to mention that they both have fabulous smiles that photograph wonderfully! Here are just a couple from the session!

Happy Birthday To My Little Boy!

It is hard to believe that my little boy turned 4 today! I can still remember taking this picture (and yes that is my left hand in the picture....photography involves juggling too!) and creating this birth annoucement when he was only a week old. How time flies but I Thank God everyday for having him in my life! Happy Birthday to my little guy!

Happy Father's Day!

I know I only have a few more hours left before Father's Day ends for 2009 but I wanted to wish my wonderful husband along with all those great father's out there a Blessed and Happy Father's Day!

Senior Session at "The Island"

I think I've mentioned before that living in this area is pretty darn cool because we are so close to the beautiful mountains. We are also lucky to have our gorgeous rivers so close by too! This senior session was originally planned for another location but I was glad that we changed it to The Island (no, not the waterpark). This particular area is a great place to live! Almost all of the homes have a great view of the mountains and some homes even have an awesome stream that is fed from the river in their backyards! Like I said, we were orginally going to shoot at another location but luckily this senior's grandmother hooked us up with her neighborhood for a great shooting location! We got some beautiful shots of this senior with great landscapes! Here are just a few!



Here we got a great shot with the wind blowing her hair!

Rockabilly Senior Session

During consultations I have been asked a lot of questions before but one really great question I have been asked is, "What happens to my session in case you get sick?" I think as a professional photographer, you should ALWAYS have a backup plan just in case. After thirteen years of shooting, I can honestly say that I have never had to use my "backup plan" before until this past weekend. I am not necessarily ill at the moment but I am currently expecting my second baby. Once I heard this weekend's weather was gonna be well over the 100's, I figured my pregnancy and the hot temperatures would not make a great combination. So I asked my photography "sensei" and friend to come out of retirement this past weekend and help me out and I sure am glad he did!

This senior session has been in the planning for a little while now and am glad that we were able to get it done for her! I have to admit during this entire session I had some cool rockabilly music like Charlie Sexton's Graceland playing secretly in my head. I totally enjoyed the whole ambiance of this session....the clothes, the hair, the makeup, the old truck....the entire package of this session was nothing but sheer coolness which was great to have on such a hot day! Enjoy!

Sneak Peek From Last Saturday!

I am still going through images from last Saturday's beautiful wedding at Sierra Meadows. However thought I would post just a few favorite images that I love so far! More to come soon! Enjoy!


Here is the bride approaching the groom and him seeing her for the first time that day!
