Fall Swing

2009-09-15T15:53:00.000-07:00

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

2009-04-16T09:47:00.000-07:00

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

2008-11-13T09:14:00.000-08:00

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

2008-11-04T22:35:00.000-08:00

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

2007-11-29T10:35:00.001-08:00

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

2007-11-20T17:05:00.000-08:00

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

2007-11-20T15:27:00.001-08:00

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

2007-11-16T02:42:00.000-08:00

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.

My sweet nephew

2007-11-16T01:12:00.001-08:00

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.

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

2007-11-14T20:00:00.000-08:00

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

2007-11-14T18:23:00.000-08:00

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

2007-10-28T17:23:00.000-07:00

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

2007-08-19T16:14:00.000-07:00

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

2007-08-18T23:59:00.000-07:00

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

Bradley Wedding

2007-08-18T21:30:00.000-07:00

This was by far one of the funnest weddings to date I have photographed. I love the old little Church that means so much to our community (and there are A LOT of churches on the ridge). I love the Bride and the Groom and there was so much more personal investment in this wedding than any other wedding... and I have done a lot of weddings for friends. So here are some of the picks from Steve and Denise Bradleys Big Day.

Ohh Baby

2007-08-16T18:35:00.000-07:00

This is a place for me to show off for you some of my photography and let you know whats going on in the life of this (un)focused mom. I dropped these pix off today for my friend. She rocks. I just need to get over there to take pix of the baby.
