Fall, Fun and Sisters

If I haven't already said how much I LOVE fall, I will say it again " I LOVE FALL!" I love the beautiful warm colors, layering my clothes with cozy knit sweaters, scarves and the cool weather. And of course it makes for many fantastic outdoor photo sessions!

My dear, sweet cousins, Nadine & Jody, came to visit us for a whole week during Thanksgiving and it was too much fun! They needed an update on their pictures for mom and I was so ready to have a blast with them, they are such beautiful gals! We went to a nearby park and to the local college for some fun shots and they had great fun!

Here are some of our favorites!

Sneak Peek: Rock Band "Until We Wake Up"

I am so excited to preview my next session! This sneak peek features a local area rock band Until We Wake Up! These guys are such talented musicians and the drummer is my nephew, so I am totally proud! Be on the lookout for their blog soon! Enjoy!

Stephanie

My youngest sister, Stephanie, is finally a senior! I am so excited to share with you her senior portraits, we had so much fun during her session.  We traveled up to Murphys, CA on a beautiful fall morning, located northeast of the Columbia/Sonora area, part of the gold country.

Stephanie is such a ball of energy, loves to laugh, thinks almost everything is hilarious and has the biggest heart for everyone! I just love her presence, she is so fun to be around! Her session was as energetic as she is and she has such a fun style, we had fun playing with all the jewelry she brought. As many of you know my sister Andy is my stylist for all of my sessions and she was a huge help in making Steph look awesome!  Naturally if my sisters and I are together I have to take pictures of them, they are inseparable and I love them to pieces!

Congratulations Steph, I am so proud of you and your many accomplishments, I know you are going to do amazing things in college! You rock and thank you so much for having me photograph your senior portraits, it was an honor, I love you!






































Here are Andy and Steph, double trouble and full of the giggles the entire 5 minutes i photographed them together! Love it!

Fall Wedding: Hugh + Amber 10.16.2010

Fall is my favorite time of year, the colors are so rich and beautiful and it is the perfect time for a wedding! I had the wonderful pleasure of photographing Hugh and Amber's wedding in October and it was so much fun!

Their wedding was held at a private residence in Waterford, CA, about 15 minutes east of where I live and it was a spectacular venue for their wedding. Horses grazed in the open field next to the home, a beautiful gateway decorated with pumpkins led to the entrance of the home, the grounds were beautifully manicured and as I walked into the backyard of the home, I was in awe of how gorgeous the entire setting was! It was just perfect!

Hugh and Amber were so great to photograph, so in love and so willing to have fun and adventurous during their bride & groom pictures. There was an amazing tree house, straight out of a child-fantasy movie, that we climbed into and took did a few pictures, it was decorated with lights and when mixed with the nearby jazz music from the reception, it was definitely ultra-romantic.

To Hugh and Amber, may your lives be filled with love, happiness and fun for many, many, many years! Congratulations!
