Today is this beautiful lady’s birthday. Happy Birthday Luz!!!

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!!!

Oh my gosh I can’t tell you how much I loved meeting up with these two precious little girls for a second time. Their momma suggested we head on down to St. Francis in Marinwood and boy was I in photographer’s heaven. Luckily her father works there so we had access to this gorgeous private property. If I could this is one place I would love to visit again. The grounds have so many beautiful little places that make for great backdrops. The lighting was beyond perfect while we were there which made my job super easy.

This time it was Little Miss E’s turn to shine and boy did she rock it. I seriously could photograph this little girl all day long and she loves the camera.

Last week I met up with two adorable little sisters for their first session together. We ended up having to break up their session into two different days which turned out to be incredible and well worth it.

Our first session was at my favorite spots in downtown Petaluma. On our first day little miss M did so great and was ready for the camera. Her little sister on the other hand decided she would rather play for follow grandma around everywhere. I had so much fun with these two precious little cuties.

Here are a few favorites from our first session together.

After an hour both little girls had enough and were done for the day so mom and I decided it would be best to get together in a couple days for another session. That is coming up next and wow what a great location!

I’m finally able to sit down to catch up a little on the blog and share one of the weddings from this summer. Last month Cathy + Bobby were married at the Hyatt Vineyard Creek nearly one year after their friends Mary + Joe whose wedding I photographed last summer at the same location. I was very lucky to have my friend Chris Poese fly in from Las Vegas to shoot this wedding with me and he did an amazing job. We made a great team.

I had an absolute blast shooting Cathy + Bobby’s wedding. They were were such a fun couple and the guest were wonderful. This was the largest wedding I have shot to date and we all had a ton of fun.

Here are a few favorites. More can be found in Cathy + Bobby’s album on Becka Lynn Photography’s Facebook fan page.

This summer the owner for Munchkin Things & Strings sent over a box full of the most adorable bows and hair flowers that she needed to be photographed. I took my 4 favorite girls down to St. Helena for a model photoshoot and they ended up having a ton of fun trying on the bows and flowers.

Here are a few of my favorites. Check out the Becka Lynn Photography Facebook page for even more photos.

Happy Father’s Day

June 20, 2010

To all the dads, Happy Father’s Day!!! I hope you all are having a wonderful day.

In honor of this special day I want to share a few of the other photos taken last month from Todd and Trianna’s session; one of the photos made the cover of Sonoma Family Life Magazine and MendoLake Family Life Magazine.

If you have followed my blog over the years, you already know Trianna makes frequent appearances.  Lucky for me her parents love to have her photo taken often and Trianna loves to be in front of the camera. When the opportunity came up to submit a photo for the Sonoma Family Life Magazine June Issue, I was very happy that Todd and Trianna were available for a very last minute session.

There were so many great photos I don’t think I have a personal favorite but I do have to chuckle every time I look at the “cover shot” because the smile on Todd’s face is priceless. Its a result of that special bond between father and daughter combined with wet kisses LOL

So tiny and sweet, one of my favorite things about working with newborns is listing to all the little grunts and sounds they make as they try to settle down just before falling asleep. This precious little guy is just two weeks old and even though he was such a sleepy boy he showed his little smiled.

Today the beautiful Miss Desa is celebrating her 21st birthday. I little over a month ago Desa contacted me to inquire about a boudoir session as a special gift for herself as a way to celebrate her birthday and remember her youth. What started as one session ultimately turned into three which lasted all day and was a ton of fun. Looking back now I wish this was something I would have thought to do myself when I was her age. I’m sure this will be something she can look back on for many years to come with fond memories.

Our first session was to show her softer more intimate side so we started with her boudoir photos in a studio style setting.

Our next session took us to my favorite creek for Marilyn Monroe inspired session with a touch of fashion and nature.

And finally we headed out to the Santa Rosa bunkers for the vixen, kick ass and urban style photos.

This by far is one of the funnest boudoir style sessions I have had the opportunity to work on. I am honored that Desa allowed me to share this special day with her and she was so open to new ideas. It was quite the adventure and I’d love to do something like this again.

Desa, I hope you have a fabulous birthday today. Thank you again for allowing me to share some of your amazing photos publicly on the blog. You were an absolute joy to work with and I have enjoyed getting to know you over the last couple months.

Today I had a great time with Cathy and Bobby for their engagement session down in Petaluma. When we left Santa Rosa the skies where looking pretty gloomy but I have to say that by the end of our session I am really loving them. After downloading the photos I just couldn’t resist the urge to share one photo for Cathy and Bobby. I thought it was cute when Bobby saw this photo in particular his first reply was “Sweet!” I am really looking forward to their wedding in Aug.

Thanks again for a fun afternoon!!! I can’t wait to show more.

Today’s session was down at my new favorite location in Santa Rosa. This is just a mini sneak peek preview since I really should be sleeping but I just had to share two of my favorites from today. I have been wanting to return to this creek since the shoot for Mossy Oak Lane so it was a pleasure to come back with my favorite client for her birthday session.

After a bunch of hoping and running around the creek and paths she was so done. I bet it was quite a site to see with her laying down on this rock by the creek and with me laying down across two rocks trying not to fall in the water this time LOL
