Kenny and I spent last evening with these two gorgeous people. I couldn't be more thankful to work with the sweetest clients ever, who brave even the warmest days of the year! Can't wait to share more from their engagement session soon. Cheers to Saturday! We are headed off to photograph another wedding today in this crazy hot weather :)
I am telling you, 2011 has been full of the kindest couples -- the sweetest people. Aric and Cinnamin are among those. Aric is thoughtful and deliberate. Cinnamin is sweet and full of joy. Together they share love and companionship. They taught me a lot in the couple hours we spent together. Once again, I am so thankful that they would let us into their lives and especially, into their wedding day this fall. Cheers to love! And happy hour at the Tea Bar!
Aric rocked it!
And... off to the fields for a different look. I am going to be honest, I always get a little nervous with fields. I don't like spiders, or snakes or wild animals for that matter. But for the sake of a photo, I put on my brave face... And, it was worth it! These two made the fields look stunning!
Cinnamin, you are gorgeous -- I love your smile!
You two are just wonderful!
Kenny and I spent yesterday evening with this couple -- and they are among the kindest people I have met. I really, really like them, together! More to come soon...
I am just finishing this engagement session -- but loved these photos and wanted to share a few. Josh and Lizz are getting married next summer, but Lizz is headed to Louisianna for ten months, so we made sure to schedule their engagement photos early. As I spent the evening with these two, I learned about their passion for ministry and understood just how much they like the outdoors:) At one point during the evening, Josh wanted to climb a tree. I am really afraid of rattle snakes here in Chico, so I convinced him not to hike into the fields any deeper:) Next year, at this time, they will be Mr. and Mrs. Thank you Josh and Lizz for letting me be a part of your telling your story. You two are wonderful!
Happy Monday everyone! It is going to be a crazy week for me with a Seattle Wedding on Friday!
We both showed up early, excited for this engagement session. Josh and Lizz, you are wonderful and perfect for each other... A tiny tease at your session for now.
Sometimes I get inspired halfway through editing a session, and just want to share a peek at what I am working on. So here are some photos from my session with Ian, Ashley and little James. With each photo here, I just see story after story -- everything from the personality of James -- to the quiet adoration that Ashley and Ian have for one another. They are just a sweet family and I think you will agree...
One of my all time favorites...
Nothing like Dad's strong arms holding his son....
And I love his interactions with Mom...
You may have seen this one from a tease... James, you are so cute, and you were just letting me know that sitting still is not your thing...
This is what happens when you place their little son below me.... You two are stunning!
Don't worry, he made it :)
And just one more for now...
Dear James, you are too cute for words... Enjoy this sweet tease from my session with his family this week. And, I am off to attend a wedding today -- yes, as a guest, no photography involved. I don't think I have done this for almost two years! I am so excited, I already picked out my outfit :) So cheers to a fun evening celebrating with some good friends! Come tomorrow, I am back at it, excited to capture Levi and Heidi's Wedding Day!
I met Jade and Brent only about a month ago and I am so, so glad to get to work with them! First of all, they are creative and inspiring people. I don't know them really well -- but I can tell they have beautiful stories. Together, they are better.I believe their photos begin to tell something -- a bit about their chemistry and relationship. Brent adores Jade and Jade looks up to Brent. They are really beautiful people. Thank you so much for letting me into your lives. Your wedding day will be amazing! PS: Brent roasts his own coffee -- And as soon as I try some, I have a feeling I may be hooked. Stay on the lookout for that, because you probably want to try some too.
Cheers to Thursday and four weddings in the next two weeks!
Love it!
I love these next three -- Just gorgeous people!
I love how happy you are together! Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your day!
I walked away from this session last night, my heart full and with much adoration for this couple. Brent and Jade -- you are fabulous! Wait until you see more of these photos.... Cheers to Thursday - and the celebration of six years married to my hubby tomorrow! I am one lucky girl!
Levi and Heidi -- what can I say about them, other than the fact that they are perfect together and they are a whole lot of fun! Seriously, after their session, my cheeks hurt from smiling and laughing so much with them. They are full of life -- as you will see from these photos. Thank you so much Levi and Heidi -- I highly anticipate a great celebration come June, when we photograph your wedding!
As for the soda... Levi didn't go anywhere without it during our session, so I thought we better incorporate it in a few photos...
Heidi, you are gorgeous!
I am so thankful to work with these two. Jeff and Julia are amazing people with so much passion for God, and life together! They will be getting married in twenty five days and I can't wait! This tease only begins to showcase their joy...
I can't even begin to tell you how much fun I had with these two yesterday. Levi and Heidi are the kind of people that you want to be around: Just that great and totally down to earth! Cheers to sunshine, Friday and some quality time with the people that I love!
