Gayle & Travis Engagement

I was very very happy that Gayle decided to have me shoot her engagement session, and we are also in talks of doing more photography in the future... All in Gods new plan for me! Gayle and I went to highschool together, and recently reconnected via Facebook. She warned me that her fiance was a little shy, but once he warmed up to me (and got use to holding the kiss pose in public) we got some really amazing shots. These are just a couple... I really loved shooting at this location, the nature looks absolutely gorgeous in the photos, and it completely fits their style and the look that we were going for... Hope you enjoy this sneak peak!

Halleighs Bridal Shower

My fondest memory with Halleigh would definitely be 8th grade Drama class! We did a skit from SNL... It was pretty embarassing, but a lot of fun. I am really glad that Halleigh asked me to come take some photos of her bridal shower, and it wasn't just a typical bridal shower... It was Breakfast at Tiffanys theme! I couldnt believe how amazing all the decor and everyones outfits were. It really was the movie brought to life. Here are a few of my favorite shots :)

Veda's first trip to the Pumpkin Patch

I love this little baby and I love her mommy as well! I met ashley a loooong time ago, back when I worked at Target's One Hour Photo (I know... dont judge) We instantly became attached at the hip for the following years... and although we stopped talking for a while, we have always and will always remain great friends. When I found out Ashley was pregnant, I was so excited for her, and for God's new plan he had made for her. I was with Ashley throughout her entire pregnancy, her "baby daddy" if you will :) I got to experience dr. appts, birthing classes (lame...), the joys and pains of pregnancy, and of course child birth. It was probably one of the most memorable experiences being able to be Ashleys birth coach, and getting to watch her c-section... I even got to cut the cord :) Veda-Ann Audrey was born 5-5-09, and she is a true gift from God! I'm blessed to be her Auntie Mo-Mo :) Anyways, now back to the pumpkin patch pictures... You will be seeing a lot more of this adorable baby!

Brittany&Michael Engagement

I met Brittany through highschool, and she has been a really fun and sweet friend to me. We have had some great times together growing up, and our younger sisters even became good friends as well! She met Michael working at Parkers lighthouse at Shoreline Village in Long Beach, and I instantly knew this would be the perfect place to shoot their engagement pictures. Michael was such a great sport, I had so much fun shooting them, and seeing Michaels love for Brittany touched my heart. I wish them both the very best! :)

Haydis Family

I worked with Mike at Quiksilver, and he was always a great friend to me! I asked Mike if I could take photos of his family, at a gorgeous park in Orange, and thankfully he said yes! I was really happy with how these turned out... His entire family is so sweet and photogenic :)

Rhio & Westley

I've known Rhio for a long time, back in the junior high years at church... We lost touch once she moved to Texas, but thankfully to the world of myspace&facebook we were reconnected! We stayed in touch, and when I found out she was moving back to California temporarially I jumped on the opportunity to photograph her and her adorable son... Here are some favorites :)

Keri & Bro's

One of my best friends came to me, and asked me if I would help her and her brothers with a gift for their mom.... I was more than excited to take some pictures for them! We headed down to the beach, it was a little foggy, but all in all, I really think the photos came out great. Here are some are my favorites....

Just testing this out... I'm so excited to start bloggin about my photography adventures!
