Wow…when I sat down to write this post, I am blown away by the amount of thankfulness I feel. I am thankful for the life I have…my family because they keep me grounded and real, my friends for their encouragement and continuous support, my health, my faith, and my clients…without my clients, I would not be living my dream profession…I love my job and the lives that I touch. I couldn’t ask for anything better.

A friend of mine sent me an email this morning about a daughter going away to school and saying goodbye to her mother at the airport…”I love you and wish you enough”

When she said , ‘I wish you enough’, she wanted her mom to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain her.

So today, I wish all of you enough.

To never want too much.

Enough to be content and happy with the blessings in your life!

Life.Is.Good.

Really.Good.

Thank you to everyone that is a part of my life.

This is a picture of my sister, Barbara, with my son Cole!

Even though Iris and Caesar are getting married in two weeks at Rancho Las Lomas, we still found time to squeeze in an engagement session with them.  I just have to say that I am so excited to work with the both of them!  As high school sweethearts, it was no surprise at how comfortable they were with each other, and they could literally just look at each other and start laughing!

We had an absolute blast with each other, and I really think they shine in front of the camera!

Check out the fun:

It started to get a little sexy…Iris knows how to work it!

Looking forward to your big day on December 1st!!!

If you have been following my blog, you might remember me talking about (and seeing pictures) of one of my very best friends ever, sri….been friends now for 25 years or so….went to The Police concert together (on the blog)…anyway, I had so much fun taking pictures of her family this past weekend!

I have been dying to post these, and have been so busy now that I am full-fledged into the portrait season!!!

These are my very favorite….I don’t think her family could be any cuter!

I can’t believe that this sweet little girl is already 4 years old!  I have been photographing Presley and her family now for the past 4 years and it has been so much fun watching her grow and seeing their family evolve into something so special!

Presley and I had fun yesterday!  Check out all the great shots!

a clean and simple design for a holiday card…

I think that at this point, someone was telling us that we were done!!!

This past weekend I had fun meeting up again with my past wedding clients, Jodi and Eric Bergstedt. But this time, they had a little guy that they brought with them for some great family photos!
I did some newborn pictures of Baby John a while back, and I can’t believe how fast he has grown!

I think these pictures rock!

In the middle of the shoot, baby john needed his diaper changed…this next shot is actually how Eric was holding John while Jodi was getting everything ready to change him….i don’t think Eric like changing diapers very much!!!!! I love this shot!!!! It’s classic!!!

I love the emotion in the next two shots…..
