Friends and Lavender Fields

So you've met our intern, Jordan, but you haven't yet met one of her closest friends, Keri! These two were so funny out on location capturing Keri's senior pictures. I thought Jordan was a unique kind of silly and crazy... but seeing them together proved me wrong... she has a "comedy twin!" They were making each other laugh over the silliest things and it made me remember how much I love having girlfriends. Check out some of my favorites from our session!

How will I narrow these down?!

Ok, I haven't been out to Serrano in awhile and I've missed it! The flowers are all in bloom, the skies are beautifully blue and Lisa, today's senior spotlight, was amazing! It was fun watching her mom dote over her (I can't imagine what being a single child would be like! There are 6 of us in my family!) They were precious together and Lisa was so charming in front of the camera. How in the world will we be able to narrow down all the images?! (Note: Click on any image you want to see larger!)

Spring Senior Sessions

It's that time of year when announcements have to go out, letting the world know YOU ARE GRADUATING! We are busy, busy, busy right now with spring senior sessions and the weather has been just perfect for it. Meet gorgeous Taylor... congratulations!!

Newborn Twin Boys

Blake & Brennon are here! What a beautiful pair of boys at one week old; it was such a joy to hold them and capture them as they slept and as they screamed in each other's ears! I am in love, for sure. You'll remember their big brother Trevor, from his annual birthday portraits. Gorgeous boys, all of them!

Cold? It's Not Cold!

Our buddy Jackson is 18 months old now. One late afternoon, we headed up to Roseville for a change in scenery. Jackson's mommy thought the fountains might be fun. So, Jackson dressed up in his best golf outfit (j/k, I love the sweater) and we shot a few "serious" shots. Then Jackson got suited up for the water and let the good times roll. I wasn't sure how this was going to go down since Jack (just minutes before) got completely freaked out by the geysers. As you'll see, Jackson is a water baby! I've never seen a child love being shot by cold water before. He kept going back for more.

Stella's Picks

So Stella asked me to post these images of Shelby since I somehow overlooked them. I love sharing this photography experience with Stella! We have such a great time working together, on location, at the computer, on the phone or just by email. What a joy it really is to have someone to bounce ideas, share experiences, learn from, and grow with. It is a bit like iron sharpening iron, where we can safely critique each other's work and happily pat the other on the back when we've nailed a shot or pushed the processing exactly the way we'd hoped. I'm blessed. I hope she's blessed but I like me so she has to feel the same way! Yah!
