Fall Swing

The air is getting cooler at night although the daytime is still warm. It may be "Indian Summer" but fall is just around the corner. This is prime time for family pictues and senior portraits! Let me know if you would like to book an appointment. I love being able to capture a day in your lifelong memories.

A run in the park

Took Cindi too upper park with Laura and Leila to run around a bit. They had a lot of fun. Upper Bidwell is BEAUTIFUL this time of year. Just took Hubby's little Fujifilm Finepix out today because I could run with it in my hand. I'll do a post on my new camera soon.

Senior Portraits:Garin in Action

Garin is the hubby's cousin. When the hubby and I started dating 13 1/2 years ago this little guy was just 4 years old. A few years later he was the ring bearer in our wedding. Now he's 18 and plays keyboard in a band. He's a senior in High School! Its crazy but what a great kid he's grown up to be. This was a great Senior Portrait session, with one of my favorite people. Next year its his sisters turn.

A Good Wedding

Brad and Renae had a Fairy Tale Wedding. What a blessing that he came home from Iraq to his beautiful nurse to celebrate together their love in front of their friends and family. Thank you for letting me be a part of your perfect day.

I thee (re)wed

The sista and her hubby renew their vows at my parents house just weeks after a ravaging fire nearly ruined the property and my parents home. We had so much to be thankful for and to be counting our blessings for. Sista and her children were back with GI Bri. Our family was together and my sister finally got to walk down the (deck) isle with our dad on her arm and into that of her husband (and kids).

Fruits of labor

Mayli and Jimmy let me do their pictures just before their sweet baby girl was born. Here she is just 5 months later. Cute and Happy just like she should be. Thank you guys for letting me be a part of your life and memories.

Family Fall Fun

I took WAY too many pictures but they are so cute and photogenic! This was a very fun shoot I hope they like the pix.

A Family Affair

I met with these four siblings for a portrait session and just love how photogenic they are. It truely was the perfect day.

How Engaging

What a sweet couple. I had a lot of fun taking their pictures. You can see how in love they are by the way they look at eachother.

Boudoir ... beware

for a present... Di had these done for her sugnificant other at the time. We had a lot of fun dressing up in MY hubby's swat gear for her bad girl pix but I love the simple ones the best. Especially the one of her upside down. Inocent and sexy all at the same time.

Some of my first pix with my digital SLR in 2004

Cuzin Lovin

My sweet nephew

Tyler the Terrible. Just kidding he's pretty much an angel here on Earth. He's all boy! Believe me I know what to do with a Boy. Girls... not so much.

Scrap Snaps

Thank you Kristine and Jenni for this wonderful layout. I love it and am so glad I could share it with you.

A few pix of my Sweet Bea

Those sweet chubby cheeks made me feel instantly in love with her. I am so sad she is so far away. I wish I got more pix of her brother and sister close up. They are way cute too even though they look not a thing like her.

Dr. Cafferata

our very own... we love her and I was so blessed to be able to help share in her achivement by taking her pictures when she graduated from Medical School. We are so proud of you Linds!

100 years seem so few

A few months ago I helped out my friend Mayli by taking pictures of her Great Grandmothers 100th birthday. They were in this beautiful valley near Quincy. The cute little church was where it was held. It was a little breezy but perfect. What a blessing it was to be such a part of documenting this wonderful Day for Jewel and her family.

Autumn leaves fall at the Tree Farm

We spent the morning at the tree farm with the Stevens family trying to avoid all the dog walkers on Sunday. We had a great time and got some wonderful pictures of the kids together. I am so lucky not just to have great neighbors but also great friends.

SIL waiting on a Cooper

These are Pictures I took of my SIL shortly before she delivered what we now call a Coop... 10.34 pound budda baby. Of course he is adorable and my SIL was such a good sport to let me take pix right before he was brought into this world. Thanks again! Although I know it was uncomfortable (just a little right?), you brought my nephew into a wonderful and caring family... I am so thankful for that and for him.

I love the softness of this one.

My Family is so Photogenic

Pix of smokin' sista and my princess Nani while my nephew TTT is still in-utero. These pix were taken June of 2006.
