Murrieta / Temecula Family Photographer ~ Wilson {Family}

I just love the Wilson's! One of my favorite families! I met Laura when we moved to Murrieta a few years back. We worked together with the Young Women at church. Moving for me always meant reinventing your business (before Facebook and Social Media helped with marketing!)...building a clientele and it was getting to be that time of year when everyone wanted family pictures. Laura asked if I would do their family and if I minded doing a beach session. Well I had just moved from Orange County so that was what I was used to!!! Every year since that time...I have done family pictures for them and I'm so glad that I have these wonderful friends in my life! I was sad when at the beginning of the year they had to move out of state to Utah. I thought I wouldn't see them for some time...but I am so glad that twice in the past couple months I have been able to meet up with them. They were so awesome to come down to see Korey off right before his mission and then again to do pictures while they were visiting Murrieta...I can't believe how quickly time passes and the kids are growing up! It was bitter sweet with Alex gone on his mission...but I popped a picture in the collage of him from the mission field! Enjoy just a few of my favorites for now...

What a fun shoot this was...first of all...mom, Kim is one of the sweetest, most loving women I have ever met. We have worked/served together in church callings and I have seen first hand her dedication to her family and others. The rest of the family is just as awesome! The boys have both served two year missions and are attending college. And the girls are so sweet (don't let that fool you though - get them on a soccer field and they will mow you down! haha) and loving. I have had the pleasure of being in Young Women to work with them there. Oh and there's Mike...what a knowledgeable scriptorian! (not sure that's a word...haha) He is one of my all time Sunday School teachers...So glad that we were able to get together for a family session...here are a few of my favs.

Murrieta - Temecula Family photographer ~ Klingelberg {family}

It is a real pleasure to take family pictures year after year of the same families...for two reasons; one, it means that they like the service that I offer to them and two, I get to see the family grow through the years. Heather and Matt's family came to have their pictures taken last fall. They are such a great family! And fun too! It was such an honor to be able to do their extended family pictures recently which included Matt's mom and dad, and his sister and her family. Here are just a few of the favorites from that day. They are such a great family and I look forward to the next time I get to see them.

Murrieta - Temecula Family photographer ~ Paisley {family}

It was bitter sweet to do pictures for the Paisley's...their son Aaron and my son Logan have been friends for many years. I have seen them grow and it's a mommy sadness to allow those kids to grow up and go away to college. Just days after this session...Aaron was off for his freshman year at ASU in Arizona... They are a beautiful family and I was so happy to get to spend just a little time with them...enjoy

Orange County Senior Photographer ~ Jorden {Class of 2013}

I am feeling mighty old...especially when you've have known a young person since they were like 6 and now here they are all grown up and graduating high school. Beautiful Miss Jorden has gone and grown up on me! What an amazing young woman...and I love that she is still involved in soccer, which is where we met her and her family over 11 years ago! Love her...love her family...and wish nothing but the best for her in her future. Here are a few of the favorites from her senior session... Had to have one of the whole fam bam!

Hinkle {Family} ~ murrieta valley photographer

Miss Hollie is our very special friend...she is a daily fixture at our home...like the daughter I never had...but even though she is a big part of my family, she does have a real family of her own...with a brother and sisters and even a brother-in-law...oh mom and dad too! So I know how important it is as a mom, that I get my kids pictures done, I suggested to Holls that she gather all the kids together and we do a nice picture session as a surprise for mom and dad for Christmas...So glad we were able to get everyone together and get it done in time...Just a few of my favorites...

my beautiful Holls

this one was special just for Joe...
