To Have and To Hold!

It's always exciting to see images in print!  To hold and feel a fine leather italian bound album holding the memories of one of the happiest days of your life.  Finding the perfect frame for a pearl finished portrait that reflects the glow of a beautiful bride in love.  Laughing over the antics of friends in a keepsake softcover book of your wedding photo booth.  Being able to print 4x6 prints for family and friends to remember how much they are appreciated for sharing a special time in life.

There is nothing like seeing your memories like this.  Exist in pictures, see them in print!

Here are a few album and book pages from Jacob and Yesenia's beautiful wedding day.  They had so much fun being newlyweds that it took awhile for them to choose their pictures and get their album but they were so excited and happy to have something they can display proudly in their home.

David and Christina and Baby!

I got a to do an amazing maternity shoot up in the woods by where I live a few weeks ago and it was amazing! Maternity sessions are always so fun because of the excitement of a little baby coming into the world, and little baby Stetson is going to have amazing parents.  I just love pregnant mamas and christina is no exception, she's glowing! Its so nice to document the start of their family. They were so down for everything and we played and just had fun. Here's a few of my favorites.

At the end of the shoot we put the wreath on her head and just played around with her being and earth mama. We love the hippie look we came out with. I love happy couples, they just warm your heart! Can't wait to see what baby Stetson is going to look like!

Jason and Tiffany. Engaged.

Its always a little strange going into a shoot having not met the couple first but these two were so fun, and so easy going it was like meeting old friends. You can tell they have a special bond between the two of them in the way they look at each other. It's that reason that I love doing what I do, you get to see people who genuinely love each other. And I get to hear their stories, which I love. These two met at a happy hour, seriously fun, through friends and have been together ever since. Tiffany and Jason are from the east coast where they will be married on new years but recently moved to Southern California for work. They had never set foot in California until they were assigned here and they love it here. They wanted a fun, laid back California beach session. We laughed, enjoyed the sun, the cool water, and even had a beer. Tiffany is absolutely gorgeous! She has amazing skin and the best smile but most of all she's seriously the nicest thing ever! Jasons is quiet at first but you can tell he loves his lady and he's quite hilarious. I'm so happy I got to meet them and seriously wish them all the best! Here's some of my favorites.

On a side note I'm so happy to incorporate film now in some way in all my sessions, I feel everyday like it means more to me to do what I love they way I want to and that my clients trust me!
