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 […]
I couldn’t think of a better way to end my 2013 wedding season than with Lulu and Conrad’s Courtyard D’Oro old town Sacramento wedding. And what a wedding it was! Of course after their engagement session this past summer, I had an idea of the fire these two would bring! Like the old saying goes…it’s […]
I love a small town backyard wedding! There’s something so very special and intimate about having your wedding celebration in a place filled with so many family memories. For Megan and Brendan, every time they go to Mom’s house, not only will they be reminded of Megan’s past; but also, the start of their future […]
It was a beautiful day with just a hint of fall in the air when Andrea and Travis said their vows in the hills of Placerville at Saulti Cellars, surrounded by the beauty of nature and the love of their friends and family. And the day was exactly as I knew it would be from […]
I love it when you can clearly see how the fabric of our life is woven together by God. I first met Jordyn and Miguel through a very good friend Glenn, one of the original Pastors at their church (North City). I became friends with Pastor Glenn after meeting him while I was shooting Brittany […]
As the old saying goes, you get what you give. And for Kelley and Martin, as witnesses by the depth of love they found in each other, it really is true! These two first met while doing service work at Sierra Service Project (SSP) in the summer of 2008. If you haven’t heard of SSP, […]
Sometimes we need the experience of life to prepare us for true love. Because while true love may be ready for us, it doesn’t mean we are ready for her. Ande and Chris went to the same high school in a small town in the California foothills. And though they knew each other, the timing […]
Some people wear their heart on their sleeve, but not Katie. This girl wears her soul on her sleeve. And it’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. Recently relocated from her Sacramento home to the East Coast, I didn’t get to meet Katie when she first booked me. But from our phone […]
I have a special place in my heart for those who give back as a way of life; especially those who make it their profession. And when two individuals with wide-open hearts and a passion for helping others decide to share their lives together, great things always happen. And so it is with Dustin and […]
Pickles and milk meets the Disney Princess. And so their story begins. It was the summer of 2004 and Martinique was working at the Johnston Community Center as a Camp Counselor. This is where she met her prince charming to be, Aaron. That first summer was full of mostly unrecognized flirting on Aaron’s part, setting […]
