Zoe - 3 Months

Warning - Cute Baby Ahead!!!!

Just look at these perfectly squish-able cheeks - don't you just want to eat them?!   Miss Zoe just turned 3 months and is one of the most wonderful blessings her family could have after losing a precious family member only weeks before her arrival.  She is a complete joy and was one of the easiest sweetest babies I've had the treat of photographing.  

Here's looking forward to her 6 month sitting - it will be here in a blink of an eye!

Kraft Family

Midway through summer I got to hang out with one of my favorite "regular" clients - the Kraft Family!  Ann-Marie, Danny, Colson and Carridy really make things easy for me.  They smile easily, put up with my random choice of picture spots and Danny puts up with my love of "kissy" pictures!  AND to top it off, Ann-Marie is the queen of preparedness, complete with props for picture ideas she found on Pinterest (which I LOVE by the way) AND a complete arsenal of bribery for the kids and dad.  I think when and if I ever get around to updating this blog/website to a more full service site, I'll have to hit Ann-Marie up for a "How to plan for your photo sitting" tutorial!

Aren't these high school sweethearts just absolutely adorable!

I LOVED that the University High School lockers were open when we walked by!

I'm a sucker for a "Happily Ever After"! 
Not sure which one I like better - I love so much of both of these two.

Hartwig Family

Early in the summer I had the opportunity to photograph this beautiful family.  Fresh with a new addition we ventured through Fresno State taking every opportunity to run in the grass and chase each other around.  These kids adore one another and are totally smitten with their new little sister.  

Thanks Jobie for allowing me the privilege to capture memories of your family at this stage of life and congrats again on your darling new addition.

Weber-Wells Family

I love this family!  If I hadn't needed to get back to my own family, I would have stayed and taken pictures of them all day.  They were great and mostly willing subjects.  I do think the kiddos were about done with being on the front end of my camera by the time we finished but the bribery with taking pictures helped and we may just have a few budding photographers in the works!  

After getting full family shots we broke into the usual smaller family units.

 

And we couldn't forget the furry kids!

Ruiz Wedding

I've said it many times before, I love weddings.  This one was small, simple, sweet and so romantic.  After 10 years together, Josh & Lily finally decided to make things completely official and hold an intimate family wedding.  They certainly must be doing something right with their relationship as anyone would easily have thought they were brand new newlyweds only just starting their first year together.  

Josh & Lily, it was my pleasure to capture the magic of your day.  I hope you enjoy the memories through my pictures!

And family - that's really what it's all about at a wedding and marriage....and what a beautiful family the Ruiz clan has!

Congratulations Josh & Lily!
