Senior Pictures!

A couple of weeks ago, one of the fun weeknights where we had extremely humid overcast weather, I had the pleasure of brightening my day by photographing this beautiful young lady. Celeste has a smile that makes being a photographer so worth it! Just look for yourself.

I love this one!
But then I'm a sucker for black and white and I love the backgrounds FSU has to offer.

Isn't she gorgeous?

Celeste, thank you for braving the weather and putting up with me and my camera. I wish you all the best as you move into adulthood after high school!

Monica, stay tuned for the family pictures - I should be posting them by the end of the weekend! Thanks again!

Kraft Family

I had the pleasure of meeting the Kraft family through mom, Ann-Marie. Ann-Marie is the Chairwoman of a church Mom's Group that holds monthly cafe nights that I try to attend. She is by far one of the sweetest and most genuine people I've met. Her boys are no exception. We met out at my usual favorite, Fresno State, and I got the chance to remember what fun 2 year old boys can be!

Colson sure kept me on my toes! He's all boy and loves an adventure!

Gotta love fruit snacks! When photographing youngsters they can be a life saver! Thanks Ann-Marie for being so prepared!

Isn't he such a handsome little guy?

Can you believe these two just celebrated their 8 year anniversary!

Lots of love to go around - which will be extra special when Colson becomes a big brother in December!

Thank you Ann-Marie, Danny & Colson, it truly was my pleasure spending time with you all. I hope you enjoy the preview. I hope to have the full set up for your viewing pleasure within the next day or so.

Ryan turns 1!

Sweet Ryan and his parents met me at Fresno State on a glorious spring day for his one year portraits. For being a preemie this little guy sure has grown! He's walking, correct that, he's running and full of smiles.

I love the look he's giving his parents here!

What a handsome family, don't you think?!

I've decided that balloons help make a picture session so much fun!

Thanks again Karen & Gregg for letting me take pictures for you. As always, it was my pleasure!

Gyle Family

I finally had the chance to take my dear friend Michelle and her family out for a photo shoot. We wanted to make sure to capture their sweet family before the new addition. Michelle is expecting another baby girl at the end of June, who I can't wait to meet.

We started out in the orchards near the Fresno State campus. Don't you just love the blossoms!

That and Miss Mikayla's beautiful eyes!

It makes my heart flutter to see such happy in love couples. Especially when part of the couple is someone you've known since the 7th grade.

I love this sweet little face. She's going to be a great big sister!

Michelle's nickname in our group of friends is "Mother". She's truly grown her nickname. It's wonderful to see her be a true mother, to a daughter who loves her so.

And just as equally warming is the love a daughter shows her father.

Michelle & Jeff, thanks for the patience in waiting for your pictures! I truly can't wait to meet your new little one. I also can't wait to take some sweet newborn photos! (wink, wink)
