I had so much fun the day I got together with Melissa and her family. She lives on the outskirts of Santa Rosa and we had the privilege of using several properties around her place. That morning had been super cloudy but luckily it all cleared up and the sun came out in time for our session.

I loved the really awesome tire swing hanging from the tree in the front yard.

Down the road a ways across the street from a little pumpkin patch was this awesome row of trees. Poor little guy was so done at this point and wanted to play and run in the trees vs stand still for a photo.

And this one just cracks me up. I will admit I’m a city girl so seeing anything on a farm is new and cool. I had kneeled down to check out this tractor/farming something or another and this little one decided to get up close and personal with my camera lens. I love the face he is making.

Its always exciting when I get to work with a family again and seeing how much the kids have grown from the previous year. I couple weeks ago I met up with this family for a mini session down in the Fountain Grove area of Santa Rosa. This was a neat new location and a bit of a treasure filled with lots of fall leaves, mossy covered rocks, a creak and lots of poison oak. Luckily after trekking through for several hours no one got it and its definitely a place I’d like to visit again.

I love the special bond these two share and how well it shows in these photos.

I know its a tad late but I am finally getting a chance to update this blog with photos from one of my favorite girls to photograph. I’m sure you all recognize miss Trianna as she is frequently in front of my camera.

This year for her back-to-school photos we headed down to Railroad Square in Santa Rosa which happens to be one of my favorite urban settings to shoot. Her mom went all out and bought this most adorable outfit which IMHO is just so her ♥

In the parking lot in front of the visitor center there was this really neat bug so we asked the guy if we could borrow it for Trianna’s session. Luckily the guy was super nice and didn’t mind at all. I absolutely love this photo.

I just can’t get over how big my babies are getting. I swear kids just grow up way too fast!!! I’m finally getting a chance to share a few photos from a session I did last month down at Railroad Square in Santa Rosa with my own girls. This is something I look forward to doing around their birthdays which lucky for me allows for sessions 3 times a year and its so neat seeing how much they have changed from the year before. Considering I am photographer you would think my walls are filled with recent photos of my own girls but sadly photos get taken and never printed. This year however I couldn’t resist and finally I have updated/recent photos hanging on my walls.

My oldest started Jr High/Middle school this year. Already I can see she is loosing that little girl look and is becoming a teenager.

*sniff sniff* She is looking so grown up

I just love this shot of my youngest. Its a face she makes all the time but this was the first time I have been lucky enough to capture it.
I can’t help but to smile every time I see this.

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.

Another precious little guy. Baby P was just 2 weeks old when I met him for his newborn photos. Even though most my tiny little clients seem to fuss at the beginning of our sessions, they all seem to finally get into the grove of things and are happy as can be.

Here are a few of my favs from our session together.

So tiny hanging onto daddy’s finger.

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.

I have had the pleasure of working with this beautiful girl for 3 years now.  Luckily her parent’s like to find any excuse to get together for photos and Trianna is always a willing model when I have projects to work on.

Its been a super crazy month and I am a little (or a lot) back logged in my blog posts but I am nearly caught up woohoo!! Back in March we headed down to one of my favorite locations for Trianna’s birthday photos. Her oh so talented mom made this awesome denim tutu skirt especially for her session and then brought balloons to match.

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

Mom and Dad’s favorite from today
