Angie

Earlier in July I got together with my friend Angie for a photo shoot. We go way back, all the way to senior year of high school! We have stayed in touch over the last 8 years and I am so blessed to have a friend like Angie in my life. She has a heart of gold and such a sweetheart!

I was honored and excited to spend a couple of hours with her and have a fun time! What I thought was great was that we started our session at our Alma Mater, Turlock High School, where we first met, and ended at the local university. Angie wanted to update her pictures to give to the family and I think we did a great job of that :)

Here are a few of my favorites from our session!

Matt and Beatriz

I met Beatriz about two years ago, through my wonderful cousin Nadine, and we were instantly friends, which is neat because how many people do you meet throughout your life you can call instant friends? About a year ago Beatriz began dating Matt and she would gush about him all the time, what a great guy he was, in the Marines and really funny.

I first met Matt at our wedding last September and he was extremely polite and very nice, I knew he was a great guy for my dear friend. So, flash forward to now, they are engaged and guess what? They are getting married on our first anniversary! Everything happens for a reason and I think this is so neat that we will be sharing a wedding anniversary for the rest of our lives. I felt so honored when Beatriz asked me to photograph their engagement session and wedding!

Together Matt and Bea are a wonderful couple, very much in love and they were so fun to photograph! We went up to Willits, CA in Mendocino County, to Matt's gorgeous home and photographed around the area, we had a blast! Here is a handful of my favorites! Enjoy!

Crystal Senior Rep Session

I have known Crystal since she was a baby, she is like family, a wonderful person and such a big heart for everyone. She is going to be a senior this year and I can't believe how time flies, she has grown to be such a beautiful young lady. I am excited to feature her on my blog as one of my senior reps. Enjoy!

Lauren

Lauren is a fantastic model and a really good friend of my sister Andy. We are working on a portfolio project for her this summer and I can't wait to photograph her again soon! She has beautiful red hair and fantastic style, such a trendy gal! These are a handful of my faves! Enjoy!

Senior Portraits featuring: Emily

Emily is such a dear part of my life and I was so honored that she asked me to do her senior portraits. I've known Emily what seems like forever, we go to church together, sing on the worship team and she has such a kind heart and bubbly personality!

We had a blast, went up to Knights Ferry and later traveled east to Sonora and Columbia (gold country) for some fun photos and great time together. Here are a handful of my favorites!
