Since it still felt like summer in the desert, the scene for the engagement session was a little bit of country…Oak Glen. I love Oak Glen. The crisp air, sweet apples, and homemade apple pie. Joe and Joanna (cute, huh?) fit right in. They are such an easy-going and relaxed couple. I forgot to mention cool, as they brought along a set of motorcycles to include in the shoot. They are founders of Redeemed Racing, a motor-cross ministry that creates a safe atmosphere for its members and helps share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with others on and off the track. To learn more about their ministry check out their website at www.www.redeemedracing.com. Here are come of my fav’s:

This weekend I had a blast photographing the alumni of Cathedral City High School. They celebrated their 10 year reunion at the Doral Resort in Cathedral City. Instead of taking posed portraits with a cheesy backdrop, the group opted for The Photobooth…or may I say Crazybooth. I enjoy taking photobooth style portraits at events because the guests LOVE it. They let loose and have a ball working the camera being silly, crazy, serious, you name it. If you are interested in having a Photobooth at your next event feel free to contact me.

Several months ago, I wrote a blog post about Jessica and Tyler. Their wedding was a truly a special occasion. First, it was held at Thatcher Manor, a colonial style estate built by the Groom’s father. I was amazed to learn that his father designed and built the estate home when he was in his twenties. Secondly, the groom was one of my husband’s former Sunday school students when he was a youth pastor. They grow up so fast! Lastly, there was a relaxed atmosphere. It was a reunion of sorts being surrounded by friends. Here are some images from their lovely garden wedding held at Thatcher Manor in Riverside.

I had a blast photographing Amber. She is a bright, fun, and beautiful young lady. For her session, we travelled to several locations within the Coachella Valley. Here’s a video highlighting some of the portraits from her session.

This was one of my most favorite baby sessions to date. I had the privilege of photographing sweet baby Mae. I loved capturing how she interacted with her mommy & daddy. Mom & Dad were so easy going and flexible thorughout the entire session. We even ventured outdoors to a field of flowers. We had to climb a hill of dirt to get there and got dirty but it was totally worth it. Thanks for choosing me to capture this beautiful moment in your lives!

This session was sooo much fun! Alex, although a little camera shy, was willing to try some uncomfortable yet visually striking poses. This includes the one of her about to kiss the lizard. Thanks Alex for being such a good sport. Congratulations and I wish you the best in your future endeavors.

I like to say “I love you” to my husband. This weekend marks our 12th Anniversary. I can’t believe we’ve been married that long. I feel blessed being married to this kind, loving, and supportive man. I must also add that he has a witty sense of humor-that I love. I took this photograph of us earlier this year during our visit to Ventura County. We stayed at the Westlake Village Inn www.westlakevillageinn.com. The grounds at this location are absolutely perfect for a wedding or portrait session. If you are planning an event at this location you will not be disappointed.
