Sara and Ian's family shoot

This... is Sara and Ian, brother and sister of course. Sara has been my best friend for years upon years and she is amazing. Ian is done with the Navy for a bit and they wanted to get their mom something she'd love for Christmas. Their house burnt down about 2 years ago and they lost all their family photos, so we took some more! With the help of my handy dany tandem bike (isn't she beautiful?) and their pups, this is what we got! Oh and we can't forget the ever so needed help of Grayson on the side lines, my human stool and dog handler for the day. Here are some of the awesome photos we came up with!

I love this photo.







the dogs make out, it's ridiculous...


Toby Montana and Wyatt Texas Ranger... I love these dogs.



I think this is my favorite, they look identical and it wasn't planned

The Jeffersons!

Meet... the Jefferson's. They were referred to me by Nina and Andrew Wiskus, an amazing couple whose wedding I shot last May. This family was seriously just fun and their kids are so stinkin cute. Helena was clearly the leader, Natalie was the quiet one, Nile was the ham and Taylor just a cute baby! We had so much fun shooting these guys, I wish I could do it everyday!







Nile the ham, being a pirate with his sweet sword.

If you offer a kid candy they are putty in your hands

Sarah + Daniel's amazingness!

I shot Sarah and Daniel's wedding at this awesome location in Santa Ana, it was at a cemetery. That sounds odd but it was seriously beautiful, so quaint and the light was amazing! We got lucky with the fires, being that all of Orange County was on fire the day before. I was hoping for some fire orange skies but what we had was beautiful too! Everything went perfectly and they are such a perfect couple, so stinkin cute! And they did a sparklers exit! Mi favorita!

I'm engaged!!!!!

It's official! Grayson proposed and the ring is AMAZING! He took me to Joshua Tree (cute because we had our first camping/climbing trip there and "officially" started dating on the way home from that trip. So we went to Barker Dam and he packed a whole picnic, we had the best spot ever too. We hung out and ate then he asked me to look at some photo he took. I was scrolling through and first was the "WILL" in leaves.. then I caught on and it was amazing! He was on one knee with the ring box open (the box had a light in it! So cool!) and I was so stinkin happy, of course I said yes!
The funny part is that we've been planning the wedding all along. We bought the ring a month ago and he was just waiting to get it before he "officially" proposed. But now it is "OFFICIAL!" YESSSSSSS!

Adam + Heather's engagement!

Meet Heather and Adam, a couple from Bakersfield. We shot downtown and it was great! Grayson shot with me and we had this whole game plan, it was fan-freakin-tastic! Oh and I found a sweet button on the ground in the alley, free! I loved that they let me do whatever I wanted and didn't question a single thing, no matter how dirty their butts had to get! Haha. Here are a few of my favorite images!
