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.

I am so excited to share the news that Becka Lynn Photography is this month’s cover photo of the June issue of Sonoma Family Life Magazine and MedoLake Family Life Magazine. Huge thank you to Todd Dingman and his beautiful daughter Trianna for helping make this possible.  It is clear Trianna is daddy’s girl and I am so excited to see them on the cover.

You can pick up a copy of the Sonoma Family Life magazine at local news stands throughout Sonoma and you can see the digital copy here.

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.

Its been a crazy couple of months but at last I am able to share Cathy & Bobby’s engagement session. I posted a sneak peek back in March with the fav from the day and I have been itching to share the rest.

I am very lucky to have such an amazing couple who were willing to go anywhere for their session. It had been raining for weeks on end so finding a time to schedule a time to get together kept on getting postponed. As I left Santa Rosa the clouds were looking very gloomy and didn’t know what to expect in Petaluma. Despite the clouds the sun came out to play as we wondering through downtown Petaluma and by the time we made our way to the riverfront the gloomy clouds were back but by this time I was loving them.

Only 14 short weeks until their wedding day. These are a few of my favorites from our session. Go check out the BLP Facebook page for more of my favs.

Finally I have a moment to sit down and update my blog again. A few weeks ago I got a chance to head out to a gorgeous private property for a couple family sessions in the vineyards while the mustard fields were blooming. With all the natural beauty that NorCal has to offer I don’t think I will ever get tired of living here or what the changing seasons have to offer.

It was a fun afternoon playing with the kids and experimenting with light. This girl just cracks me up. There is never a dull moment when she is around and I love how her personality shines through in each and every session we have together.

First try she is being a goof LOL

Second try is her attempt to listen to mom and be serious…

And since our session was all about the girls, I couldn’t forget one of T.

Recently I met up with Safiya and her family who traveled all the way from Santa Cruz for our Celebrating Adoption Session. With all the rain we had been having here in the North Bay scheduling our session has been tricky. Luckily the rain decided to give way the day before we were to get together. The recent rains really got the creek roaring here in Santa Rosa and was absolutely beautiful. I had a wonderful time meeting with Safiya and her family.

This is the 3rd Celebrating Adoption Session I have done and I am so proud to say that I am a member of this organization. I encourage you to visit the website for more information by clicking the banner below if you or anyone you know is interested in a Celebrating Adoption Session.

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

Mom and Dad’s favorite from today

Another long over due blog post here, this time for Eva who happens to be Sally’s BFF. For her session we got to check out a new location which I happen to think is way cool. Sadly now there are now “No Trespassing” signs posted everywhere but I am glad we got to check it out while we still had a chance. I had a great time meeting up with Eva for her senior session.
