Hamilton Family

Spent a little time this morning in the vineyards with this sweet family...
Here's a sneek peek of our session...more to follow...

Sawyer Family

What a fun family the Sawyers are!
They all had the most amazing blue eyes!
It was truly a pleasure to photograph them!

Abbie & Drew

These precious little babies belong to my friend Collina and her hubby Josh
If you can imagine it...their combined total weight at birth was approximately 17lbs!
That's a whole lotta baby!
But she is such a trooper...and you can't even tell that she just had a set of twins! And these are #3 & #4 babies! WOW! Collina is my hero!
Anyway...I'm so blessed to have been able to play with them for a little while and take a few pics of their sweet little faces and toesies!

Campbell Family

I thought 4 boys was alot! Until I met the Campbell Family...
6 boys and a 1 beautiful girl + a sweet daugther in law and the stinkin' cutest little grandson! LOVE the chubby cheekies!
What a great family...I just love them!
They are sending off one son on a mission in a couple weeks...
and two more to follow within a couple months.
I was so blessed to be able to take their family pictures for them

Wilson Family

The Wilson Family was so much fun...
I love the beach in fall...the sunset was amazing!

Samantha & Charlie Engagements

Aren't they the cutest couple?!?
Just as sweet too!
I'm so excited about their wedding which will be 1/1/11!
What a great way to start the year!

Vogt Family

Aren't these kids cute?!?
Those eyes! Each of them!
Their mama is a scrapbooking friend of mine...and they are such a sweet family!
But let me tell you - those boys are definately BOYS! lol
I had fun capturing their sweet family - wiggles, giggles and all!
enjoy!

Gary & Paula's Family

Gary and I have been friends since I think 1983...{you know when dinosaurs roamed the earth - aka high school days} in fact all those many years ago, Gary and I went to the prom together...my blue dress and blue eye shadow and his blonde, curly mullet...makes me giggle thinking about it.
Fast forward several years...and this weekend, I was so happy to have the opportunity to take pictures of his sweet little family.
We had lots of fun...and the boys being boys...they wiggled, giggled, played and asked a million questions.
So I hope you enjoy just a few of my favorites from our time together.

Austin's Senior Portraits

What a great {busy} day!
Started off with a HUGE downpour! Thought I was going to have to cancel the entire day!
After alot of prayers...
It cleared up and the sun came out!
First was this amazing young man. Austin has a contagious smile and he is just so sweet too {can I say that about a boy??? lol} but he was!
Anyway, here are two of my favorite shots from his shoot.
I followed his session by two family sessions...those will follow shortly! I'm just saying...what an amazing day!
enjoy!

Alyssa's Senior Portraits

This girl has it all:
beauty, personality and atheletic...
And at the end of the shoot - we got her brother to take some Christmas card pictures {those will follow} which turned out to be hilarious!
So glad I was able to spend a few hours with Alyssa...what a sweet young woman she is!

Blue Dragon Soccer Action

Had fun with these little soccer players...
so much energy!

Landon

this little guy was at a soccer game for his brother where I was shooting actions...
had to get a few of him as well...
he wasn't sure about me to start off with, but warmed up pretty quick making funny faces...
and those blue eyes!
going to be a heart breaker someday!
enjoy

Sharon & Jordan {Wedding} - Orange County Wedding Photographer

I was so honored when Sharon called and asked me to do the pictures for her wedding.
I met Sharon when she was a teenager and she was always so bubbly and energetic and happy! You couldn't help but smile around her...
Fast forward about {10} years...and here she is on her wedding day...
She and her new husband, Jordan are perfect for each other!
I know I've said this before, but I love weddings because for no other reason, they remind me constantly of how much I love my husband ~ even more than I did when we were married almost {18} years ago!
Congratulations to Mr & Mrs Beal...may they always be as happy as the day that these pictures were taken...
so...for now, just a little sneek peek...so many more to follow very soon!

Doyle Family

These kids were so adorable...and so great to work with!

I {heart} faces - Week 38 Smirk Photo Challenge

Ok...so generally I don't like to post pictures of myself but it kinda went along with the theme for this weeks photo challenge at I {heart} faces...and I just recently took the picture...so viola'! This picture was an assignment from our teacher who wanted us to take a self portrait and edit it using Photoshop and some of the tools she taught us...yes even professional photographers go to school! Gotta keep up with the times...if not, I'd still be using a film camera LOL

So here's my submission for I {heart} faces Week 38's Smirk Photo Challenge - "It's Me"
