Engagement sessions are amazing. I think every couple should have one because they are so awesome. It helps you get used to being in front of the camera, and it’s basically a great time to connect with your bride/husband to be! Trust me; no one walks away from one of my engagement sessions without a smile on their face. And sometimes, a little bit exhausted too! Looking good for the camera can be hard work people!! And my couples ALWAYS look good.
Home. That is what I feel when I spend time with Jorie and Kellen…I feel like I’m home. It’s the magic between these two that is so strong it radiates out to everyone around them. Home…where you are comfortable to be yourself and where you feel loved and accepted no matter what. I wish I […]
A beautiful couple who are head over heart in love, a super sexy little black dress with some killer high heels, and downtown Sacramento as a backdrop…could you ask for anything more in a Sactown engagement session? Oh, and for this one, we’re bringing balloons back. That’s right…you see our dear Miss K has dreamed of […]
As an animal lover, I can always appreciate when my bride and groom to be bring their beloved pets to the engagement session. Pets are like family and like family, have a special understanding of us. It didn’t take long for Mojo, Kristin and Sam’s newly adopted furry baby, to know that the love between […]
While I fully realize that the state of California is in a severe drought situation; I must say these winter sessions sans rain, fog, and super cold weather have been a delight! And so when Kathleen and Kris wanted to sneak in an engagement session in February, two short months before their wedding this April, […]
2013 was a year of transition for me. I completed my transformation to “Apple fangirl” by ditching my PC for an iMac, made the leap to Lightroom (why did I wait so long again?), and started incorporating constant lighting into my reception images. I won another Bride’s Choice Award (four years running now), gained acceptance […]
From the moment I met Jenn and Arnell, I knew they were the type of people that approached life with a certain level of care and concern. I found this cautious optimism shared between them, and expressed in their love for one another, quite beautiful. Long time friends turned sweethearts; this adorable couple from Grass […]
Lulu and Conrad both have very busy jobs with wild and crazy hours; so, scheduling their engagement session was a bit of a challenge. And when a couple of dates in July looked like the only times that would work, I won’t lie; I figured we were in for a sweltering hot time. You can […]
The best thing about taking an organic approach to my work is that every single time I do a shoot it’s unique. I can go to the same place and photograph it time and time again and always come away with a fresh perspective; and, that is exactly why I love what I do! I […]
Spring is in the air! And, what a better way to celebrate the beauty of long hibernating trees in bloom and warm breezes hinting of summer than with Martinique and Aaron’s engagement session. We headed out to one of my favorite spots at Folsom Lake in Granite Bay. It’s a special place that Tim used […]
I started this journey in 2008 with my DSLR in hand and nothing more than a strong passion for photography and a desire to create beautiful images. I never could have predicted where it would bring me. I have met some amazing people who have opened their lives and their hearts to me. They have […]
