E & R - Senior 2010

Gorgeous x 2!!! As you can guess, these ladies are twins. I'm always in awe of the bond twins seem to have and these two are no exception. I'm sure whatever the future holds, it will include each other.

I LOVE this time of year. The weather is beautiful and I have thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to photograph some truly awesome seniors! I was a bit concerned about the wind but they managed to use it to their advantage and we got some rockin' shots! E & R are incredibly sweet and sincere. I had so much fun!

They were referred by my very dear friend Holly. Thanks girl!

Here is E -




Meet R -




And, together they are amazing!

breathe and wish...

"...and breathe and wish and hope for the best for your laughter makes my entire world go round."

I came across this in my web browsings and wrote it down some time ago. I don't remember if it was a quote, and if it was, who it came from. I just like it and thought it was fitting. It's just what kids do = )

This was my second session with the "J" family. The littlest J has changed to much since our last session. There are gorgeous curls where the baby fuzz used to be. She is mobile, crawling, pulling up and soon to be walking. Did I mention flexible? I think she might be the most flexible child I've met. She also has such a laid-back and easy-going personality.

The twins are 1!

Here they are as newborns. Now they are one! Delightful in every way! Their personalities are very different, but compliment each other so well. Watching them grow has been so much fun and I hope to capture more to come! I envision very busy times ahead = )

Despite the weather, which was rainy and overcast and light that was quickly dwindling, we were able to time the session to capture some with Abuelo (grandfather in Spanish), or Abluelito (a more affectionate term of grandfather. Maybe the English equivalent of grandpa). Abuelito was visiting all the way from Mexico = )

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!!


The wedding party working the lens = )

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!
