Just a couple weeks after I met up with her momma, Melissa for her maternity session, precious little Mia was welcomed into this world. I got a chance to meet her at just 2 weeks old for her newborn session. She is such a beautiful little angel ♥
Mia had the most adorable nursery I have ever seen. Her room was filled with lots of pink and butterflies. She is one lucky little girl.
Another new life that I have been blessed to share with this beautiful first time momma. Just a few weeks before her due date, I met up with Melissa for her maternity session starting in her home and then heading over to my favorite creek for an outdoor session. The lighting was amazing and we had a ton of fun.
Its a little late but as I catch up on all my past due blogging I wanted to start with this special little guy. Over the last year I have enjoyed seeing this little guy grow up. We first met when he was just 2 weeks old for his newborn photos and got together again when he was about 6 months old for a Christmas themed session.
A couple months ago we got together in Sebastopol for his first year photos and then again for his birthday party.
Here are a few from his birthday party. Check out Facebook for more photos =)
Last night I stumbled across these photos of my friend Chris as I was going through my archives to update my website. Coming up on almost a year ago, last summer I flew a very good friend of mine to Cali from Las Vegas to shoot a wedding with me here in Santa Rosa. We have been friends since college and this was the first time seeing each other since 2000 which seems like forever ago.
I have been told doing a handstand is a Crossfit thing and taking a photo is something they do when they visit someplace new =)
It was great seeing my buddy Chris again after so many years and we made a great team working together for Cathy + Bobby’s Wedding. Wish he didn’t live so far away because we really did have a ton a fun. Thanks for letting me share your pics Chris. Next time I am coming to Vegas.
A few months ago I met with this beautiful lady for a session on her property that she wanted to do as a surprise for her boyfriend. Today is his birthday and they just celebrated their anniversary so as a special request we saved these photos especially to share on this special day.
When she suggested we shoot in her backyard I really didn’t know what to expect. Turned out to be an amazing location complete with barns, open fields and huge tractor tires. Loved it!!! Here are a few of our favorites.
I had the pleasure of meeting Luz a few months ago when she called to inquire about setting up a session just for her birthday. We hit off from the very first conversation and I am very happy to say has become an instant friendship. I love it!! Of course it helps our birthday’s are only a few days apart and she can say she is a few days older than me which I find really cute.
Because this is one of those “landmark” birthday’s, no I am not going to give the age, we wanted to do something extra special. I teamed up with my fabulous stylist Stephanie of Stephanie’s Beauty Artistry who, as always, did a fabulous job on hair and make up.
Multiple wardrobe changes and several locations equal a full day of fun!!!
My precious girl just celebrated her birthday a few days ago so as a special treat we headed over to Guigni’s Deli in St. Helena for lunch and then to Napa for some treats at Butter Cream Bakery. Both of these places were favorites of mine growing up and now its become an annual tradition to head over to the Napa Valley once a year. After lunch my girls and headed out to a few of my favorite spots in St. Helena for some birthday photos.
Just the night before her birthday, my girl lost her first upper tooth and looks absolutely adorable. At the moment her nickname is the toothless wonder and I can’t help but to get a huge grin on my face every time she smiles. She happened to come into the office as I was reviewing her birthday photos and this is the one she says is her favorite ♥ I love how it shows her little missing tooth!
I have been anxious to work with Monse since we met a few months ago. Both our schedules have been crazy but lucky we were able to get together for a last minute photoshoot. Isn’t she gorgeous?
