Happy Father's Day

A truly rich man is one whose children run into his arms when his hands are empty~ Author Unknown

I saw this quote and this idea on a great crafty blog that I follow. I loved the quote and their idea for a easy but very personal Father's Day gift. We did this collage and glued the picture to cardstock as a cover to a card, then my oldest signed the card from him and his brother. My Husband LOVED it!! Happy Father's Day to my amazing husband and to all you wonderful dads out there! Thank you for all that you do for your families!!

My oldest took the picture of me...yes I allowed him to use my "big" camera and he was soooo proud of himself! :)

Meaning {Sanger, CA. Children and Family Portraits}

Having studied art and earned my degree in the field, I have a personal appreciation for those who can create something from a blank canvas. So when my sweetie (aka my husband) wanted to get his first tattoo, I was supportive of his decision as long as the art he chose meant something to him...and he sure did. Not only did he choose to place our first child's name on the tattoo but my hubby chose something to represent his own baptism and having completed all of his sacraments to join our faith during that time.
I created this shot in my mind for many years but for whatever reason never shot it. I am glad that I am finally able to see in front of me the picture that I had envisioned many times in my head. So to my wonderful husband and devoted father to our children, I wish you an early Happy Father's Day!! Enjoy!!

Storyland and Playland Birthday Adventure {Fresno, CA. Children's Birthday Event Coverage}

I am usually busy this time of year but have been especially busy this year, which I am always thankful for!! Lately, I have been doing a lot of event coverage (which you will see as I get caught up with all my editing). This was such a wonderful, fun, and relaxing birthday party for these amazing siblings!! I was lucky enough to photograph this family a couple of months ago and was super excited to get to see them again for the kiddo's birthday party. Mom and Dad did a great job planning such a fun party and through my camera lens I saw nothing but happiness from their guests and their three beautiful children. Thank you again to this wonderful family for allowing me to photograph such wonderful memories and I look forward to seeing all of you again soon!! ~Many hugs to all of you!

Singing in the Almost Rain {Exeter, CA. Family and Maternity Portraits}

One aspect of this job that I would have to say is one of my favorites, is the ability to be a small part of a growing family each time I am invited to capture images of their new additions (or soon to be additions in this case). It seriously just seems like the other day I was taking maternity pictures of this big boy when he was in his mama's tummy! And now, he's about to be a big brother!! Oh the years go by sooo fast!! I had a blast spending time on this gorgeous overcast mother's day. Thankfully we missed the rain but we did get to do some singing despite the rain's absence. :)

I am so happy for this family on their soon to be new addition! Many blessings and love to all of you! Here is your preview to enjoy!

Lil' Blue Eyes { Fresno, CA. Children's Portraits}

My mother's day weekend was so awesome!! I had the privilege of spending time with some wonderful moms and kiddos each day and finally ended the weekend with my own three favorite boys!

I still get amazed with how fast babies grow and change in a matter of months. This little guy was only 2 months old when I photographed his wonderful family's portraits and I was speechless to see how much he has changed in a couple of months.

I was super thrilled to get an email a few weeks ago from his mom asking about doing his 6 month pictures. I was stoked that mom wanted to do as she called it, "nakey bird" pics since big sister had these kind of pics done when she was his age.

I had a blast hanging out with this handsome little man, his big sister, and beautiful mom during his session and I look forward to our next session together!! Here are some to enjoy! ~lots of love to this wonderful family!

Happy Mother's Day!! {Fresno, CA. Children's Portraits}

Happy Mother's Day!!
