Jessica and Marc's Engagement Session in Redlands

I am so excited to share this adorable engagement session with you!  Jessica and Marc are just the perfect couple.  They are so much fun and knew that they wanted two different locations for their engagement session.  When they asked if we could shoot in downtown Redlands, I was thrilled!  Not only was it super fun to tool around but we had a blast laughing and almost getting caught in the Christmas parade.  Jessica and Marc, you two are awesome!  I cannot wait for your wedding!

Christmas With Stephanie and Family

I absolutely love this time of year! Food, family, giving, friends... all of it just makes my heart happy, especially my job.  I had a lot of fun with this group!  I may be a little bias considering the oldest boy is my wonderful and adorable nephew.  We had originally planned on doing this session in Oak Glen but the weather was not cooperating.  Fortunately we found a very cute park free of rain that worked perfectly.  I thought it might be to cold but keeping up with these boys can keep you warm.  

6 Month Old Carson at the Park

I just CAN’T believe that little Carson is already 6 months old!!!  I seems like just yesterday we were doing his newborn pictures!  Where does the time go?  I love this little guy, he is always so happy and full of smiles.  Her mommy and daddy became a client of mine just last year when we did their maternity session.  Carson you are a precious little man and I am happy I get to be a part of your life and watch you grow up!  I can’t wait to take more photos of you in the months to come!

Laura and Brian's Wedding at the Wedgewood Wedding and Banquet Center

The wedding of Laura and Brian was at the Wedgewood Wedding and Banquet Center in Fallbrook.  I had the pleasure of assisting Jason Burns for the day and I am so glad I did because it was a beautiful day filled with excitement and joy.  The couple got ready at the Pala Mesa Resort which was a fun place to start the photos.  The bridesmaids and groomsmen were in full swing keeping the bride and groom on their toes.  There was plenty of smiles and laughter.  Thank you for allowing us to be part of your big day.

Courtney Class of 2012

Look out world here comes Courtney, she's a Senior and getting ready to graduate.  We went to Wildwood Park in Yucaipa to shoot Courtney's Senior photos and had a great time. Outdoor sessions can sometimes provide some unexpected challenges, and I was so impressed with how well Courtney tolerated the uninvited bees that joined us!  Here are a few photos from our session, enjoy!



 

Baby Carson

I love photographing babies, even though they can be some of the most stubborn models I have ever worked with.  Meet the handsome newborn Baby Carson!  At only 2 weeks old when we did his first photography session, he is tiny, sweet and ready to snuggle into his blankie for a good snooze!  He did such a wonderful job with the awesome help of his Mommy and Daddy.  Here are a few of the shots from our afternoon together.

Madaleena's Baby Shower

One of my hobbies is planning and decorating parties and events, I love doing it, so my mom and I threw Madaleena a baby shower.  You might remember the maternity photos I did with Madaleena a few weeks ago.  She is having twins, one boy and one girl.  We did a book themed shower, I made all of the decorations out of old Dr. Seuss books.  We had a good time complete with green eggs (no ham).  Enjoy the preview and feel free to contact me if you ever need an event or party planner!

Madaleena and Andy are having TWINS!

My Brother Andy and his wife Madaleena are having twins!  A baby boy they are naming Andrew and a baby girl they are naming Taylor.  I am so happy for them.  Madaleena, like most pregnant women, is just glowing.  The doctor's have Madaleena on partial bed rest so I went over to their house last week to do a photo session with them.  I can't wait to see the little ones but for now we have to settle with a sneak peek of their maternity session.

Abby at the Tree Farm

I went with Allison and her daughter Abby to the Christmas Tree Farm in Yucaipa to do photos for Christmas.  Abby was an absolute riot!  She laughed and giggled and ran around.  She especially loved looking at all of the animals in the petting zoo.  We had fun walking around braving the wind.  Abby even took the opportunity to put out her arms and "fly" through the air.  I hope you enjoy the sneak peek!



 

Danielle & Corey's Wedding

Danielle and Corey got married in a small ceremony at her parents home in Yucaipa.  It was great to be a part of their big day.  Danielle and Corey are such a fun couple, they are always laughing and joking around with each other.  The wedding was beautiful and I just loved the different hues of purple everywhere.  The new married couple just beamed every time they looked at each other.  The night was filled with dancing, joy and laughter.  Congratulations Danielle and Corey I wish you a lifetime of happiness.  Enjoy the preview of their romantic day.



 

Apples, Goats, Serenity & Noah

This Wednesday we took a little trip up to Oak Glen To check out the petting zoo and eat some candy apples.  Serenity and Noah were visiting their Grandparents and their mom asked me to do photos with them.  We had a lot of fun petting the goats and checking out all of the animals.  Noah loved all of the animals but the squirrels were his favorite.  Every time he saw one he pointed, screamed and had a huge smile on his face.  We finished the day by getting some yummy apple cider at Los Rios Ranch.  The kids had a good time but I think I had a better one!  Enjoy the photos!

 

Delaney & The Tea Party

Delaney just turned 3 years old, and what a better way to celebrate than with a tea party.  We went to a park in Yucaipa to set up Delaney's special tea party.  It was so much fun watching her pour tea for her guests.  The best part of the day for me was when Delaney held up her hand and yelled at the kids on the playground, "I'll be right there, I'm almost done!"  I enjoyed this photo session so much I look forward to more parties with the lovely Delaney!
