Brayden

2009-10-01T18:46:00.001-07:00

Such a cute little guy! Brayden is my friend Andra's nephew. When Andra's sister was in town, we scheduled a one-year old session for Brayden. He has "kissable" cheeks, you just want to kiss them over and over again! He loved Auntie Andra too, she is the one he is smiling for!

Summer - Bridal (Sneak Peak)

2009-09-27T16:28:00.000-07:00

Summer! I love her face. :) This is an example of "The Day After" bridal session. More to come!

Leila - Sneak Peak

2009-09-27T15:24:00.000-07:00

Just a little peak at Leila!

Brenna

2009-09-14T17:34:00.000-07:00

Brenna, why do you have to be so cute? :) And so funny - what a personality!

Jessica and Judd

2009-09-12T16:59:00.000-07:00

I had the privilege of photographing Jessica and Judd for their engagement photos! They are getting married in March and I am so excited to shoot their wedding at Mercy Oaks! Jessica will make a beautiful bride, she is so gorgeous in these photos and so photogenic...made my job so easy! Judd was a trooper and hung in there for the afternoon of posing. Haha. :)

Brayden - Sneak Peak

2009-09-01T22:20:00.001-07:00

Another one of my weekend adventures! 1-year old pictures with Brayden!

Jessica and Judd - Sneak Peak

2009-09-01T21:01:00.000-07:00

Just a brief peak at what I've been up to over this last weekend! More to come!

Bender Family Sneak Peak

2009-08-15T22:51:00.000-07:00

I had the privilege of photographing Jon's cousin and her little family! So, I guess they're my cousins too! That Grant - what a cute, chubby, laughing baby! And Daniel is getting so much older - we really should visit together more often than we do.

.the DeWitt Sisters.

2009-08-08T22:32:00.000-07:00

Oh man, these little girls are beautiful! They posed and posed...and made me laugh. We had so much fun that day, the word "fun" doesn't even describe it. My favorite part about these photos was Maddie's red "tutu" which I guess she wears constantly around the house with those pink boots. I love how her mom lets her wear those things, and even let her take pictures in that outfit! This is Maddie, who she is now at 5 years old. And Mckenzie - watch out, Dad.

Meghan's Wedding!

2009-08-04T08:38:00.000-07:00

This last weekend I went to Meghan's wedding as a guest, and it was gorgeous! Of course I brought along my camera, and I was so impressed by the little details, such as the napkins, the cupcakes, and the little "diamonds" on each program. So cute, and such great ideas! It was beautiful, and I'm sure Ami captured some great images!

DeWitt Sisters - Sneak Peak

2009-07-29T22:34:00.000-07:00

Just a brief teaser of a recent shoot with these beautiful little girls!

.Stephanie and Scott.

2009-07-26T22:23:00.000-07:00

I went all the way to San Jose for this wedding! Stephanie was beautiful, and so chill the day of her wedding. If she was worried about anything, it never showed on her face, or in the way she interacted with her family and friends. She was so calm, kind, and totally in love - whatever happened, she would still be married at the end of the day! Congratulations Scott and Stephanie, and happy togetherness!

The Wilsons

2009-07-09T10:07:00.000-07:00

Ah, Jimmy and Jolene. You guys sure are a such kick in the pants. And now there's another one of you?! Even better!! I've realized something about myself the more I take photographs - I love babies and children. I think Ruby won me over, she was the moment. She is beautiful, funny, and so expressive. Never once did she cry, and just look at her! Who wouldn't love that kid? Wish you guys lived closer... :o)

The Tylers

2009-07-08T15:02:00.001-07:00

Sometimes this family makes me a little sick, because of how beautiful they all are - and not just on the outside. Sick, sick, sick! But whenever you're around them you can't help but feel happy, so I guess I forgive them for being so darn good lookin'. :o) Scott, Lindsey, and Carter - you are an amazing little family!!

Xander

2009-07-08T14:54:00.000-07:00

Oh Baby X - you are so fun! It was pouring rain, drizzling, and a little chilly the day we dragged Xander outside for some photos. Although he wiggled, squirmed, jumped, ran, and tried to eat the plants, he is one of the most fun babies you'll ever meet and I loved taking pictures of him! He has so much personality, just like his parents, and can't helped but charm all who meet him. :o)

.family.

2009-06-17T18:30:00.001-07:00

This was a funny family - these kids laughed the whole time I took their photos. I would say, "Now, ok guys...how about a serious face." or "Can you just look at me and smile?" They were so funny! But very easy to take pictures of - I even threw one in of their mom who also let me take a shot without complaining. I told her she would be happy later.

Marci and Trent - May 16th

2009-06-15T17:03:00.001-07:00

My dear friend Marci graciously let me tag along and take pictures of her...Now for the whole lot of photos! I had so many favorites that it was very difficult for me to choose, and so...I narrowed it down to these 500. No, I'm kidding! On a more serious note, these photos hold some of my favorites - Marci was beautiful, easy, and wonderful to be around, she posed and posed and we kept shooting and shooting. Her husband said she "read to many bridal magazines" and we didn't care! They had a candlelight wedding, which was gorgeous! All varieties of candles, and "wispy" trees lined the inside of the church with a dessert reception to follow. Marci has been my friend for...hmmm...14 years! In highschool there were 4 of us best friends, and Marci is the last of us to be married. Be happy my friend, it's the best!

Family photos with this family was fun! This is a sample of what's to come, but I was so excited to get to editing these photos that I had to post one...

Hannah Elizabeth

2009-06-04T17:34:00.001-07:00

Hannah is one of my younger sisters, and while she was visiting me from Washington, we went out and took some photos. Whenever any of my sisters or brother are around, we always ended up posing for a camera. Hannah is almost 13 now, it's so weird for me! It's weird to watch my younger siblings go through life, and sometimes I feel like I only pop in and out of it, and watch it through a key hole. But such is life when we live 12 hours away from each other!

Summer and Tyler's Wedding

2009-06-03T15:05:00.000-07:00

Recently, I was invited by Ami Joiner to tag along as a second photographer for this Redding wedding. This was so exciting for me! I have known Summer and Tyler for a little over a year now, and have loved sharing in their relationship as they through their engagement and onto in their marriage. They are a beautiful, wonderful couple who many people adore and love to be around. Don't they look like Barbie and Ken dolls? Haha. Thanks to Ami for allowing me to tag along with her as she gave me free reign at this wedding! (You can see Ami's work at www.amiphotography.com)

Wow, this was a fabulous day!

Preston

2009-06-03T14:02:00.000-07:00

Our little Preston is growing up! (He's probably going to hate that comment. Haha.) And I know many others who have loved him much longer than Jon and I have loved him, and have enjoyed being a part of his life. His mom wanted some 8th grade graduation photos, and I wanted to experiment with this crazy idea of putting a drum set in a field...Preston is an incredible drummer, and it didn't take long to convince him to play along with this plan, but I did have to beg a little to get Jon to carry the set around, but viola: drum photos! Thank you, Kim, for having a fabulous son!

This is a classic "Preston" face. Makes me laugh every time I see it.

Brianna

2009-04-29T14:47:00.001-07:00

Well, here we are 9 months later, and I'm taking more pictures of Brianna! How can I not - she's beautiful! We always have a good time when we go out, and she is always willing to do or try whatever I ask, which some times can be outrageous. For some reason, we chose to take pictures on the warmest day in April (our only day, it seems) when it was about 90-something degrees. Can you tell she's totally overheated? NO! She looks great, and we were all happy with the results. This blog doesn't do justice to the actual photo, as I uploaded pretty quickly. But these were some of my favorites.

Beautiful Summer

2009-03-10T15:35:00.000-07:00

Summer is getting married! Her "sexy" shower was cute, beautiful, and fun. Every now and then, I wish pictures could speak, because these photos only tell the reactions to the comments that were flying around the room that day! Hearing Summer talk of wedding plans, and honeymoons, and sharing in that day with her, only makes me want to get married all over again. Maybe Jon will go for it...new town, new friends, a new look, but definitely not a new man! Haha.

Hmmm...sometimes I think the only reason good photos turn out "good" is because of the subject. Like Summer - how could there ever be a bad photo of her?

Candolyn - or Koby and the guys

2009-03-07T22:09:00.001-08:00

Just a little different for me - I thought it'd be fun to take some photos of some musicians. This was fun. I think I could be a roadie, or whatever you call the people who take publicity shots during concerts and promos and such.

My desk...

2008-12-21T16:46:00.000-08:00

Today I was sitting at my desk contemplating the time I actually spend sitting here on the computer. Hours upon hours I spend sitting in the office at this desk, writing papers, using the internet, editing photos, paying bills...

Naturally, I began taking pictures of my favorite room in the house. A few days ago I wasn't sure if I still liked the orange walls like I did when Jon first painted this room. But today I love orange.

I also love this quote by Abraham Lincoln that we hung on the wall - it was a gift from my mom.

My little project today was a shadow box. It's funny that it took me an hour to figure out how to piece together two pictures and four little flowers!

Charlie and Andra

2008-12-15T18:29:00.001-08:00

This was a fun day - because it POURED RAIN the entire time we were out. You wouldn't know it, but poor Charlie had to frequently wipe his forehead between photos. I had to do quite the maneuvering to keep the camera lense out of the rain, and from getting steamed over! All that to say, we still had fun. Moral of the story: don't let cloudy days bring you down, because they can produce some pretty cool photos!

Halley and Koby

2008-12-10T17:13:00.001-08:00

My sister has always been my guinea pig. And now poor Koby is too. But he knew what he was getting into...these were taken in Priest Lake, Idaho.

Kevin and Vanessa

2008-12-10T15:18:00.001-08:00

I took picture of this couple for fun one Sunday afternoon. I used them as my "practice" couple, as I'm trying to improve my skills!

Kaitlyn

2008-12-09T21:24:00.001-08:00

Oh, Kaitlyn. Wouldn't she make a great rockstar?

Brianna

2008-12-08T21:09:00.000-08:00

I really loved taking photos of this girl! She is very comfortable with herself, photogenic, and willing to lay on the wet grass!

Conformity

2008-10-26T15:07:00.000-07:00

For the first time, I am blogging. Did I do this out of the need to ramble, or as an outlet for my thoughts? No. I am joining the "blogging network" out of sheer conformity -- this realization is staggering. I am a grown woman, and I still succumb to peer pressure! But is it necessarily wrong to do what other's find fun, therapeutic, or interesting? Hmmm. A questions I shall ponder while I figure out how to do this thing...
