Wow, what a year. It has been an amazing year professionally. I’m so thankful for all of my clients for trusting me to document your lives and I’m so thankful to have fallen into (and in love with) shooting stock photography. I started shooting stock photography full force in 2014 and it was the best year ever. Anyway, I don’t feel like getting into…
I’m pretty sure newborn shoots are my favorite. I especially love first time parents at newborn shoots. Being a parent is so life changing and I love capturing all of the newness that I can. This shoot came from a referral and I am so thankful that this client chose me to document this time. It can be a very tough decision picking the…
I can seriously photograph these 3 amazing kids all day long. I LOVE them! This was our second shoot together and it couldn’t have been more amazing. I wasn’t sure it would top our first shoot but it did. Within the first 10 minutes all 3 kids were drenched. It wasn’t planned at all. What started out with feet in the water turned into…
Before I begin talking about the gorgeous wedding below, I first want to talk about my decision to make this wedding my last. Over the past 5 years I have shot about 3 weddings a year on average. Very part time but very exciting nonetheless. I LOVE WEDDINGS! I love shooting them too. I have learned so much and there were definite growing pains…
Oh man, I don’t think I have had a shoot with as many pictures that I love as I have with this shoot. It’s no surprise as to why. Gorgeous family, gorgeous house, gorgeous light, mother is a photographer therefore is natural and comfortable, and it was just an overall relaxing shoot. All lifestyle and perfect. I was even able to put together a…
This awesome wedding took place at Marvimon House in Los Angeles. A super cool venue that is just gorgeous with a succulent wall, brick walls, great decor and feel. Kelly and Matt are very laid back and it shows. They were content with doing a first look and portraits before the shoot, even getting Kelly’s dress dirty in the process. She didn’t seem to care…
This might be the first time I have blended two shoots into one blog post, but I am that behind so it only made sense make them as one. Also, if you scroll to the very bottom, you will see why it makes perfect sense to blog them together. With every belly to baby package I put together a little movie from both sessions….
I have entered year 4 of this business and I am finding more about what it is that I want to give rather than what I want to receive. The number one thing that I want to give, is to give clients what they want. Through that, I have learned that I am not the right fit for every client, and through that, I…
This is a LOOOOOONNNNGGG post because it is LOOOOOONNNG overdue. I have been trying to post this for days. I think my blog hates me and I REALLY hope these pictures load properly. This is from my brother’s wedding in June. Typically I wouldn’t share SO MANY IMAGES, but I am sharing due to the fact that friends and family have been patiently waiting…
This is Orchid. She is a very loved, sweet faced, gentle dog. She has cancer. =( This is where photography REALLY proves meaningful. Whether it be a hired professional or your own personal snapshots. Having the ones you love in pictures is priceless. When I met Orchid and her elder sibling Iris , they greeted me with such love and showered me with kisses….
