Chasing boys...

It is always a pleasure to be able to capture some new faces. This family was a blessing to work with! Thanks for your time and donation!

Photographers challenge.

2011-10-18T12:57:00.000-07:00

This month I am working with a few individuals at my church to raise money for a couple of Orphanages through Harvesters Reaching the Nations. Here's the deal: We take pictures. People pay money for the pictures and all of the money goes towards helping orphans. So, here is my challenge to every photographer out there: Do the same! Set aside some sessions to directly feed the lives of orphans in need. November 6th is Orphan Sunday and the month of November is orphan awareness month. We tend to get so wrapped up around the holidays with STUFF. As photographers we plan more around props and color coordination when there are eternal souls desperately just trying to survive searching for food and basic clothing for covering. Let's simplify our lives a bit so that others across the globe and perhaps in our own neighborhoods may simply live with food, clothing and the basic necessities of life.

The amazing gift of life.

Light. Lines. Pattern

2011-07-07T18:41:00.000-07:00

Light can always be used to add an effect to your photo.

Look for light that seems distracting or intimidating. Then, learn to think outside of the box. The result will be something very unique.

Stunning Bride.

2011-03-27T13:17:00.000-07:00

It was so much fun getting to know this couple and working with them yesterday. I absolutely loved their choice in location. Lighting is key, location is second! I am so glad that we waited until the end of this month to take these pictures! I love that spring has brought so much green and that can make a huge difference in the setting of these photos. what a beautiful couple!

Blessings to you both~

2011-03-09T19:45:00.000-08:00

My friend had a sweet little arrival last week and I had the privilege of snapping a few pictures of this sweet little bundle. Congratulations!

The truth is that I have struggled with photography in the sense that the true artist is without a doubt, our Creator.

I have struggled with the thought that, although I am capturing a moment in time,

He was the one who formed her very smile....

before time even began.

May she know that her beauty comes not only from her smile and sweet, quiet and gentle personality,

but also from within-

What a fun, sweet little girl!

Another reason why I love this job...

2010-06-04T13:18:00.000-07:00

Doesn't this Mommy look fabulous? It was a pleasure, and I must say that as many times as I have seen this gal she always seems to have a huge smile on her face.

Congrats on entering into the incredible journey of Parenthood!

I can tell that you both fully enjoy it.

{Blessings}

This was just plain fun.

I had the pleasure of taking photos for a home school graduation. It was so much fun! It also felt a little strange to fight back tears. I have know one of these graduates and her family for only a short time, but once the slide show hit, I somehow pictured myself being here with one of my kids. Perhaps it was a great reminder once again to enjoy the stage of life that I am in as it will sure enough go by fast!

Congratulations Class of 2010!

2010-03-18T20:42:00.000-07:00

Lots a kiddos.

2010-03-16T17:58:00.000-07:00

I really think the most favorite part of my job as a photographer is capturing kiddos. Lots of them. I love getting a glimpse of a smile or even a silly face. Here is a bunch of beautiful kiddos I was able to capture recently. What a blessing!

Incredibly cute.

2010-03-16T17:32:00.000-07:00

A few more, edited...just for fun.

2010-03-16T17:05:00.000-07:00

Closed for December!

2009-12-02T11:20:00.000-08:00

I am so far behind on posting pictures from this busy season, so hopefully I will be able to catch up soon! I just wanted to put a note out to say that I officially take off the month of December to celebrate the season with my family and loved ones. I will open up appointments again for January 1, 2010!

MERRY CHRISTMAS! May you be blessed during this season!!

Another Great Family:

2009-11-24T11:32:00.000-08:00

I seriously enjoy this family...she always has great

creative input and new places to try....plus, they are all so laid back (well, laid back in the fact that they go to enjoy time together and try to get some pictures...without stressing at all)!

Thanks you guys!

Beautiful Mommy. Beautiful Family.

2009-10-27T20:22:00.000-07:00

Well, I am planning on sharing a lot more pictures but Blogger has decided to shut down on me :)

I always enjoy this bunch....

2009-10-20T12:58:00.000-07:00

I love working with families and little ones. The best part about this job is watching little kiddos grow...and watching families grow! The first time I met this family, their oldest boy was just over a year. Now they have TWO sweet boys! Their oldest is truly one of the most active and sweet little boys that I met...which makes for some great pictures!! Enjoy!

My six month old.

This was just one reason why this couple was so fun to work with.

I just like the emotion of this picture. I also LOVE doing weddings and this couple was so fun to work with...that makes my job even better :)

Oh yeah...there's more!

2009-08-03T13:28:00.000-07:00

There's a whole lot more to come!

Hard to choose my favorites!

2009-07-30T21:02:00.000-07:00

It was such a pleasure capturing this sweet and fun family. They have two adorable boys...as you can see! And, they were very well-behaved! It was the beginning of a hot day, but we were finished before everyone got too sweaty :)

Thanks for working with me! It was fun capturing your beautiful family!

Inspired.

2009-06-26T14:05:00.000-07:00

I was inspired by my clients from last weekend to get some "formal" shots of me with my little one. It always difficult to capture self-portraits, but even more so when you are trying to capture yourself with a little one in your arms! I may try again...soon.

One Big Brother and two little Blessings!

2009-06-25T13:56:00.000-07:00

Beautiful Family!

Here is our sweet little one! I thought I would post some pictures of her and say thank you to everyone who has e-mailed me and congratulated us on her arrival. Thank you also for your patience with responding to e-mails. So... here are some pictures that I have enjoyed capturing of her and hopefully inspiration to think outside of the box (I always have fun doing that)!

Happy Picture taking!

Just. Because.

2008-11-24T08:37:00.000-08:00

Still trying to catch up but I am getting close! I thought I would share some pictures from the session with this family. The time change really made a difference at this location. Enjoy the pictures!

Fun times~

2008-11-11T20:10:00.000-08:00

This was a great experience...

This sweet mom was actually a friend back in high school, so it was really neat to see her family and especially, her "Little guy."

I always loved her family and definitely enjoy being around her sweet and fun spirit.

Their little one definitely kept us all on our feet! I am also not sure he enjoyed the camera in his face,

but hopefully his parents have some shots they can cherish as he gets older!

Taking a moment to entertain and try to get some energy out of him....

with Daddy...

Flying high....

Thanks for the pleasure of allowing me to capture your family!

Stay tuned~more to come!
