Jillian & Brandon - The Reception

Jillian and Brandon had their reception at the home of Jillian's grandparents. It was a beautiful backyard, perfect for a wedding. Her grandfather built the home himself and it is truly a treasure. The night was fabulous! Here are some pics...

I love this shot... sneaking a peak at the line

One Beautiful Woman

I had the oportunity to take pictures of this beautiful woman. I think you will agree. As I'm sure you can tell from the pictures, she was completely darling. So sweet and kind. It was a pleasure to be able to spend time with her.

Doesn't she look like she is up to something in this picture? I love that look on her face!

Jillian & Brandon - The Temple

Oh, to be in love! Well, I am in love, but this is NEW love and it is delicious! These two were so much fun to shoot.

There were so many fun shots I couldn't choose just a handful for the blog, so I created some collages.

Enjoy.

Thanks, guys, for letting me tag along and be a part of your special day! I had a blast!

Out of the Office!

Love saying that! Out of the office. Sorry. I am going to be gone. If you need to contact me for any reason, shoot me an email and I will respond when I return. Because I am going to be out of the office. Oh, that sounds so nice. It just rolls off my tongue.

Where am I going? Well, I am going to the beach! Yes! In California to be more precise. With my whole family and I can't wait to get there. We will be going to Sea World, and the greatest place on Earth... DISNEYLAND! I know. Try not to be jealous. Mostly I am just excited to get out of town and relax. With nothing to worry about and my husband by my side. Ahhh. That sounds nice too.

Before you think I am leaving you forever... keep this in mind... When I return, I will have many posts... With families, my beautiful trip aka beaches and cartoon characters, and most exciting... a wedding! You heard it right. So come see me when I get back because I have a lot of treats for your eyes!

Some of my favorite people...

We have been trying to take this family's pictures FOREVER!!! I have no idea why exactly it took so long, but I must say I had a great time when we did get together to take pictures. This was an extremely eventful shoot... full of sunny skies, tutu's and bee stings.

That's right.

I got stung by a bee.

Those of you who don't know me may not know that I am deathly afraid of bees and run when I see one within 10 feet of me. Well this stinger caught me completely off guard as I stepped right on him giving him full access to my toe. It was a real doozy but I was able to make it through the rest of the shoot and we got some great shots! Finally, Tar, I know. I hope you love them!

Cute Fam (sneak peak #3)

This is it folks.

The final sneak for this super fun shoot.

I hope you have enjoyed viewing the pics as much as I have enjoyed editing them! This one is going to be a doozy since I couldn't narrow it down. Even still there are a bunch more that I want to post, but what do you do. This is all you get.

Papa... (sneak peak #2)

These kids LOVE their Papa. To be honest I really don't blame them. They were having so much fun I wanted to grab my own light saber(?) and join in the fight! Just wait for the little ones to grow up and it will be 4 against 1! If I were you, Papa, I would start recruiting reinforcements now!

Notice they have joined forces to attach Chewbaca (Roxie)

One more sneak peak from this shoot to come... Stay tuned!

Getting bigger... (sneak peak #1)

It wasn't that long ago that I was taking this little guys newborn pictures, and look at him now... 3 MONTHS! I just can't believe how quickly time goes by. He is as handsome as ever, so are his mom and dad! Take a look...

This is the first of a few sneaks from this shoot. Keep watching to see more!

Isaac

This handsome little man is 8 days old in these pictures and I was drooling! Well, I have continued to drool the whole time I have been editing his cute little face! What is the deal with these newborns that is so very appealing? What am I talking about? Look at his face! That is what is so appealing! Check him out...

Love the smirk...

ding, dong... delivery for Mr. & Mrs. New Mom & Dad...

I'm almost done with the pics, so expect a call in the next couple of days! So cute!

Taya Bean!

Every time I get to take pictures of a new little one I fall in love all over again. Taya is so sweet and happy! (Her family isn't too shabby either). We had a blast taking pictures, you will see why below. Thanks, Linds, for setting this up it was great!

(Sorry for so many pictures, I am really having a hard time narrowing it down lately!)
