:: emily : maternity ::

It was sort of an impromptu session. See, here’s the thing, I’ve known Emily for a little while now (she’s the Children’s Pastor at our church) but we never actually planned to do a maternity session. This past weekend I left my men behind and headed for the hills, literally, for some time away with...

:: andrea & mike : wedding part 2 ::

So what’s worse than your rental company not showing up with your ceremony chairs till the last minute? Not much, but probably having your sister and bridesmaid’s purse stolen during photos is up there.
You heard me. Stolen.
How much would that totally stink? But here’s the thing. Andrea & Mike thought to have their awesome friend...

:: emily : maternity sneak peek ::

Talk about a close call on the timing of this session! Meet my good friend Emily. Time of shoot – 2 days before due date. Actual baby’s birth? Well, we’re still awaiting the news, but suffice it to say, she went into labor less than 24 hours after these photos were taken. Three cheers for...

:: mike & andrea : wedding part 1 ::

I can’t do it. I tried. I failed. I simply CAN’T narrow this post down to less than 56 images. So I’m splitting it up. I’ve combined some of them to make it a bit easier on the eye, but to make it bearable, I went ahead and split it into two posts.

I know I said less changes and all that. And I mean it, really I do, but I had to do a few things first. Because here’s the thing. I’ve spend a few years now as a website and blog stalker reader and usually what happens is that as soon as I see something I...

Let’s just say that when the mother of the bride told me that Murphy’s Law was in overdrive for this wedding, she wasn’t remotely exaggerating....

:: Fall & Change ::
This is my favorite season, hands down. Hands down, people. I love the smell of rain in the air (when we get it out here in Southern California), I love pumpkin spice lattes, I love Thanksgiving, I love scarves and coats and mixing the color orange with purple and brown and...

:: last day of vacation ::

The last day of a vacation is always one of mixed feelings. Some moments I’m anxious to get home, others I’m dreading leaving the peaceful setting I’ve been enjoying for days. Today is no different overall, but the reasons are somewhat new.
In case the picture isn’t ringing bells for you, we spend most of our...

:: updates, news & miscellaneous ::

Ok, so am I the only one around here who is flabbergasted (yes, flabbergasted) at how fast this year has flown by? I mean, seriously, wasn’t I just giving birth a few weeks ago? Summer came and went like THAT and now we’re heading full-force into my absolute favorite time of the year. October is...

:: whittney & nick : wedding ::

Ok, I’ll be honest. I’ve had this blog post sitting open on my computer for days. Days, people. I don’t even hardly know where to start. What do you say about an awesome couple with a hilarious “how we met” story who decide to get married at the gorgeous Santa Barbara Zoo and choose “Eye...
