matt, meg + brennan

i was really excited when meg contacted me about setting up a session. it's so cool that my name is getting out there through other photo shoots and from my amazing friends...such as jill...who shared my info with meg.

we did this shoot at laguna gloria, which is one of my favs. i finally had the opportunity to shoot inside the villa, which was amazing as well as air conditioned...a must with the 100 degree heat wave that has settled into our area for the past...oh, i don't know...500 days. even so, we did manage to get some really great outdoor shots. you really can't go wrong in such a beautiful setting.

thank you so much meg, matt and brennan for asking me capture such a sweet time in your lives.

noah+emalee

i had so much fun meeting noah and emalee. they are super sweet kiddos. we spent our time playing in the backyard, then they showed of their rooms and noah showed me all of his pirate legos. i'm was really excited to learn that emalee is going to the same school that my daughter payton will be starting at in the fall. yaaay! another little girl friend.

elizondo+rios families

i really had so much fun photographing these two families, and the weekend they had planned to celebrate their time with each other, as well as the 4th of july, was going to be a blast. i wanted to somehow sneak along with them. but...i had my own festivities to get to, so bid them farewell with a little bit of a sigh.

thank you so much elizondo and rios families for inviting me in for a small part of your special weekend.

maggies bridals

i am so excited to finally be able to post this session. the hard part about doing bridals is having to wait to share them. but here we are the day of the wedding and i can finally show maggies bridal portraits.

maggie is a very dear friend of mine. i've known her most of my adult life. we met in the college class at church. i loved her right from the start. many years later my husband and i thought it'd be a great idea to introduce her to another dear friend of ours, steve. they hit it off and now after 11 years, grad school finally finished for both, as well as a doctorate on maggies part, they are getting married. i get to enjoy being a guest at the wedding but will have my camera with me, of course. i'll post more on that later.
