Van Dalen Family

This family are such good sports.  We shot pictures on a Sunday afternoon that I was to have 3 sessions and 2 cancelled due to the very cold rainy dreary day.   The Van Dalen family kept their slot and I'm so thankful that they did.  While it was indeed freezing cold to us central California people, the overcast lighting and beautiful faces made it so worth it.  Sara, I hope you and your wonderful and easy kids enjoy the pictures.  Thanks again for being willing to tough it out with the weather, it truly was a pleasure to photograph you all!

I have to say, thier dog was AWESOME!!



Russell Wedding

I have to say, I really do love weddings.  The best weddings tend to be those that are all about the couple and not so focused on the details trying to make everything perfect.  The Russells wedding was just that - a nice simple familiy wedding held in their own backyard.  It was such a joy to see a couple who obviously really enjoy being together and sharing their lives with thier friends.  Robert & Elizabeth thank you for letting me being such an important part to the start of your life together.  I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them - which is quite a lot! 

Baby Time!!

I LOVE babies!  Especially fun, is the anticipation of babies!  Kevin and Mya didn't have to wait long for their sweet baby boy Caleb to be born after this photoshoot in August, but unfortunately they did have to wait for me to post their pictures.  Chop it up to my crazy summer and life with 3 kiddos!  Regardless, I have the priviledge of finally sharing this seriously beautiful family!  Enjoy!

Isn't she gorgeous!

Simply Beautiful big sister!



Ian and His Entourage!

Sweet little Ian is only a month older than my youngest little one and was such a joy to photograph!  I think it's hard to tell that's he's loved.  ;)  (wink, wink)  It was great to work with such an easy family.  Timing was great, happy kid, happy parents and happy grandparents.  Can't ask for much more than that!!  Thanks Ian for being such a trooper and putting up with all my poses.  I know you loved getting to play with nature!

Gotta love a family willing to have a little fun!!
