Karina is super-cute. “I don’t know how to not smile”. That’s what she said. I LOVE that! If I asked her to be serious, I got EXTRA smiles. I had a great time hanging out with this adorable girl. Her favorite color is yellow- her favorite flower is the sunflower- and she plans to apply to Notre Dame- you know what that means… not only is she beautiful, she’s a smarty-pants, too!
Karina, hope you love, love, love your senior photos. Here are my favorites. <3
It happened again! I got to spend my day with another soft, sweet, warm, cuddly newborn baby. What could be better? Have I mentioned I love my job?
Joshua was born just one month ago… Now we have Alejandro, Lore, Ethan, and Joshua. What a beautiful family.
Lore asked her husband if she could have this photo session for her birthday. Alejandro must have said yes. : ) What a sweet gift….I hope you will both cherish these forever.
Vanvliets, thank you. Your entire gallery will be ready in a few days- until then, here is your sneak peek.
I’m going to have a new nephew soon! From the looks of it…. REALLY soon ; )
My only brother Jake, and his beautiful wife are going to have their first born baby in the next couple of weeks. They already know it is a boy, but haven’t given us the name yet. All of us in the family have made jokes about the fact that they haven’t decided on a name yet, and we have been calling him names such as: Nebukunezar, Kennisaw Mountain, Bartholomew, among many other names. They are good sports about our teasing. ; )
Laura and Jake have posted snapshots of Laura’s belly on facebook a few times, and when I saw the last ones I was afraid I might not make it there before she had the baby! Luckily, we made it. My dad and I took a quick trip to Santa Barbara to get some shots of them “waiting for baby”. Here is some of the sweetness…
Can I just say that these two were PROS in front of my camera lens.
Perhaps it was easy for them because they are IN LOVE. You can see….
Ariana and David will be married in less than a month. We met in Pismo Beach to get some engagement shots. Here is a sneak peek into their gallery.
Ari and Dave… you guys are great. I really enjoyed hanging out with you both. See you in a month!
What a sweet family I got to meet. These 3 boys are charmers, let me tell you. It is super cute, the way the oldest son likes to look out for his family. Especially protecting his younger brothers. He was warning us about coyotes lurking in the bushes, making sure no one fell into the “river” (stream), and thoughtfully navigating the way back to the car when we were finished with our session. He had me chuckling the entire time we were together. I had a great time with this beautiful family. It brought back some memories of when our kids were little…. I remember, it takes a lot of energy.
Kesslers, you are blessed with a beautiful family.
I hope you enjoy your “sneak peek”. <3
Tyler is a senior.
There is no doubt in my mind that Tyler is enjoying his senior year to the fullest. He has a down-to-earth confidence about him that I think you will see in his photos. He’s the kind of kid that isn’t afraid to smile, and isn’t afraid to look you in the eye. I like those kind of people.
Thanks, Tyler, for choosing me for your senior photos. Here are some of my favorites.

Have I mentioned that I think I have the best job on the planet? Today I got to hang out with a SUPER CUTE and cuddly newborn baby and her incredibly cool parents.
Remember Drew and Natalie? Lola has arrived! She’s just one day shy of 3 weeks old. And oh-so-girly and sweet. Even her little cries were sweet, complete with a quivering chin. AWWW.
Drew and Nat, thanks for welcoming me into your home to capture her sweet newborn-ness. They grow and change so fast. Here are a few favorites. <3
Meet the Littles. Eden, Taylor, Erin and Jordan. This is their first family portrait, EVER. They were so excited about it.
From the moment we met for the session, I could feel the love and genuine caring for one another within this family. Taylor is generous with hugs. Erin has a smile that is constant and contagious. Jordan is so willing to lend a helping hand…. he’s the man of the family. All of them, SUPER SWEET. Eden is blessed with a heavy parenting load – more than most of us could even imagine enduring. To say these kids love their mama and each other would be an understatement. When I asked them if they could do a group hug, I’d never seen a family more excited to put their arms around each other. Oh… and the laughs. There was no shortage of laughter either.
Littles: Truly a pleasure to hang out with you guys. Here are a few favorites from our session.
