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.
I am so happy this session happened. You see, it almost didn’t. Jason is Canadian, Jennifer is American and when you fall in love with someone from another country, the logistics of being together can be…complicated. So when Jennifer called with a last minute request for an engagement session, I was ecstatic. It meant her […]
I met Sarah and her mom back in December. I remember that I had a bit of a leftover cold and kept having these little involuntary coughs when I would speak too much. Sarah and her mother both showed so much concern over me, it was sweet. I could tell they were warm and loving […]
This is my 100th blog post. I’m not a daily blogger, so it’s definitely taken some time to get here…two and a half years actually. I started this blogging adventure back in 2008 when I really started to take the business side of my photography seriously. I had been shooting portraits and such with my […]
I am a firm believer that my clients find me and choose me because I was meant to be their photographer. I know it sounds a little cheesy, but I really think it’s true. It’s a faith thing; I feel like everything happens for a reason. And Rachel and Fernando very recently helped reinforce that […]
There are only a couple hours left until the New Year here in Northern California, and I’ve spent the majority of the day going through all of the images I took this year. I just posted my 2010 wedding recap (you can find that post here) and decided to keep the flow going and blog […]
When Stephanie called me for her engagement session, she was in the middle of planning a destination wedding. You see, Stephanie and her family are all from Florida. This is where she met and fell in love with Travis. So when the time came for Travis to go home to Sacramento, Stephanie knew she would […]
I should have known how cool this location was going to be when Casey informed me that the Old Sugar Mill in Clarksburg, CA required a copy of my liability insurance before we could shoot there. But I never really put two and two together until I saw it for my own eyes. The Old […]
I love these guys. No REALLY, I LOVE these guys. Brittany and Shaun are so totally down to earth, relatable, sweet, cute, and totally in love with each other. Every time I go through their images I keep seeing what I saw that day…so much warmth and acceptance and love. It makes me all fuzzy […]
Welcome to the little engagement session that almost never was! I’m telling you, the weather did not want to cooperate with us at all for Daniel and Carol’s engagement shoot. We tried Tahoe, but a huge snowstorm kept that from happening, then we tried the previous weekend, and the fog was so thick it was […]
Sarah and Bill are getting married in May in Saratoga. Since they are in the Bay area and I’m in Sacramento, we decided to find a place in the middle to meet for their engagement photos. Sarah and Bill had just recently completed a half marathon in Calistoga and Tim and I love the wine […]
