The Twins Are 2!

My cousin’s little girls are already two! I wasn’t able to make it to their birthday party, but they came to Tehachapi to visit my parents last weekend, so we went up for a couple days to spend some time with them. They have changed so much, and their personalities are starting to show so much more.

Happy Birthday Jade and Micah!

I love these girls so much.

On Second Shooting – Jesse and Matthew’s Wedding

admin — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 18:00:45 +0000

When I was starting out in photography, the best learning experiences I had were when I would shoot alongside another more experienced photographer. I have been amazingly blessed to have found a network of photographers that are talented and willing to share their knowledge with each other. Through watching how others would shoot, pose subjects, choose locations and lighting, and trying it out for myself, I was able to gain a decent range of experience in order to form my own style.

I still love second shooting for other photographers at weddings, because it allows (and forces) me to be creative in how I shoot, so I don’t get the exact same photos as the main shooter. I am always grateful for the opportunity to work with amazing photographers, who I also have the honor of calling my friends.

I had the pleasure of shooting Jesse and Matthew’s wedding this past weekend with the lovely Lindsey of Left Coast Design Studio. It was a beautiful day, and this couple is absolutely adorable, and are pretty much professional models. We didn’t have to tell them a single thing, and they would form into perfect poses with each other, creating gorgeous photos. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Atencio!

Karrie and Kyle Maternity

I liked Karrie from the moment we talked on the phone to schedule this session. She is extremely friendly, very energetic, had awesome ideas for her photos, and is absolutely gorgeous. I also would love to steal her antique trunk that she brought to the shoot…

I had the pleasure of shooting her maternity photos this past weekend, along with her handsome husband Kyle. Congratulations Kyle and Karrie, I can’t wait to meet your perfect little baby girl in March!

The Most Perfect Day

admin — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 18:21:21 +0000

2 years ago today, I married the most amazing guy in the entire world.

It was the best day, despite everything that tried to make it anything but perfect. Here are a few things that made my wedding awesome.

- It had rained for 2 weeks straight, and that morning the sky cleared into the most amazing blue.
- Our reception building was brand new, and had not been approved for public occupancy yet. 48 hours before, it was approved.
- My brother is in the Air Force, and was stationed in Texas, making it impossible for him to be there. 2 weeks before the wedding, he was stationed in CA, still unsure if he was going to be able to make it. The night before, he was given permission to leave for the day, and surprised me before the ceremony (with enough time to fix my makeup of course! I was a crying mess!)
- My Maid of Honor was 8 months pregnant at the time, and walked down the aisle like a pro, in HEELS!
- I had peacock feathers EVERYWHERE.
- I had a team of awesome photographers to capture my wedding beautifully. Patrick Ang, I am forever grateful.

David, I love you more and more every single day.

Baby Nola

Welcome to the world baby Nola! This little bundle of cuteness was also part of this shoot, but we hadn’t had the pleasure of meeting her yet. Her gorgeous mom was our maternity model, and oh my goodness does she make some adorable babies! I had the pleasure of doing her newborn photos, as well as a few shots with her big sister.

I think pretty much all babies are cute, but this one definitely makes it somewhere near the top of the list.
