Engagement….Congratulations!

March 24th, 2008 , Posted in Uncategorized






Here is a couple that is beyond cute!  They were alone for quite some time and found each other on the internet of all places.  :)  Each of them thought, “Why am I doing this?” as they filled in all the information about themselves on the dating sites, but it paid off!  They met last July and it was an instant connection.  Their faith in God is huge, and it’s obvious that God is watching over them and guiding them in the right direction….towards each other……  Congratulations and good luck to you both!  Looking forward to shooting your wedding in just three weeks!

Is he not the cutest thing ever?!?!?!  Just beautiful….. this is a photograph that I took in San Francisco.  Love shooting in San Francisco!!!  Especially kids and baby portraits….so many places to take pictures in the city.  This little guy just happened to be laying around with his mother while waiting for family.   Couldn’t resist!

    trying some new "texture" techniques….

    February 28th, 2008 , Posted in Uncategorized


    This is a new approach I am looking at….really like the emotion in the pictures that the textures bring out.  Let me know what you think!

      Just a few more snaps of the girls at school this morning.  Fun colors there to work with…..I know I’m biased, but aren’t they just the cutest things ever?!?!?!  Can you tell the older one is more serious and the younger one is the one with a BIG personality (putting it nicely :)  ).  So funny how different kids can be.  Makes me look forward to when they are older and I can appreciate their differences even more as adults.

        My little model……

        February 28th, 2008 , Posted in Uncategorized


        Took a few minutes this morning while at the girls school to snap a few pics.   As you can see, my older one is quite the model when the camera somes out…..well, sometimes.  Just loved the colors and thought I would share.  It is a gorgeous day here in Rocklin, California!  Can’t wait for the spring air to flow through soon!  All the smells of the fresh cut grass, all the colors (starting to see them already), and the short sleeved shirts :).

          Sleeping Baby…..

          February 23rd, 2008 , Posted in Uncategorized

          There is nothing like looking at a sleeping child, listening to them breathe calmly….no worries in the world.  If only I could bottle that smell, too.  The smell of their skin.  Us parents know that it doesn’t stay that way forever.  :)  I could have stared at her all night, this little angel.  Sweet dreams……

            Footsies……

            February 10th, 2008 , Posted in Uncategorized


            Just one of those shots that I’ve always been meaning to take and just never did…..love it.   Funny how even childrens feet look like their parents…one looks just like mine with my legs, and the other looks just like my husband with legs identical to his.  Genetics…..strange deal.
