C & A : One Beautiful Wedding

A perfect day, a stunning couple, and a wonderful location makes for an absolutely beautiful wedding!! I had not met A, only spoke on the phone and by email, but I knew when she walked in the girl had style. Everything from her jewelry to the table decorations. Oh, I can't forget the great desert/candy table. It was simple, elegant and a bit modern all mushed together!

The ceremony and reception was at Wilderness Ridge. Known for great golf and it's rustic lodge as well as fabulous food. In fact, they had just came out with some new menu items = ) Florals and decorations were provided by Stem Gallery. I also had the pleasure of meeting Craig Estudillo, who was the DJ but might be better known as the voice of the Lincoln Stars hockey. There were also some former Lincoln Stars Hockey players in attendance.

Finally, the sneak peak. Here is the very glamorous Ms. A.



Some casual images of the stunning couple.






Let the light shine in!!

Baby M

Oh, how I LOVE babies and baby M is no exception. Isn't he just perfection!!! I wish there was a way to bottle up the smell, the soft skin, etc... I would call it "Baby Goodness"! TGIF =)

Here's a sneak of Baby M...


Being loved by mom and dad...


One proud mama!

Emily - 2010 Senior

So, something you don't see a whole lot of on my blog but will hopefully be seeing more of is High School Seniors. Between the scattered thunderstorms, we were able to find some dry time to squeeze in both the indoor and outdoor session! Emily was so easy to work with, willing to try new and different things and just so easy to photography. Kudos to her aunt for being my assistant (ie holding all my stuff!!) What a great session to kick off my high school seniors!!

classic indoor...


a little funky and urban...



to end, one with emotion...

All the way from Oregon

These beautiful kiddos are from Oregon. They were back home visiting family and it just so happened we were able to hook up for a session. I'm so glad it worked out b/c it was a lot of fun.

Little Miss M is 2 1/2 and just a delight. Her beautiful curls, a little spunk of personality, and a giant smile can make your heart full = ) Her little brother, Mr G, is 4 months old and such a happy camper. He has sparkling blue eyes and cheeks that you just want to squeeze.

K - it was so nice to meet you and your family. I hope you had a safe trip home. Here's a little sneak for you...



a little different processing...


going vintage = )


a together one!

It's never too early...

"What time is too early?", the mom asked. "Can we do 8:00 am?"

I responded with "Yes we can!" See, I am a morning person and so are my kids, generally speaking. Our middle child is like an alarm clock rising promptly between 6:00 - 6:30. Kids, just like adults, have internal time clocks and you just got to go with it!

Meet this prince and princess. Miss E is 6 months old and as sweet as sweet can be!! Her older brother Mr. B is 18 months old and a little charmer himself. He was not as sure about my camera but it was only a matter of time before I won him over = )

One of the many reasons sessions last an hour or more is b/c kids need time to warm up to people. We tell them not to talk to strangers. We have to allow them time to warm up to the crazy lady with the big camera = ) So, to all the parents who have stressed over their child's behavior, he or she is not the first to run from my camera, break out in tears, etc...

Enough of my ramblings, here are the beautiful kiddos = )





Ugh, blogger won't post my other 2 pics!! Bad blogger, bad = (
