Last weekend I headed out in the desert with Jenny and her friend Shayne to shoot Jenny’s senior pictures. We kinda got lost trying to find the spot we were looking for but no worries we finally found the spot. We’re pretty sure we saw someone famous shooting their next big movie at one of the movie sets in Lake LA on our little detour so it was all worth it. One of the reasons I love Jenny is because she’s just a fun person to be around! She’s always in good spirits and ready to laugh at or crack the next joke. Congrats on being a Senior this year Jenny! God’s got a great future in store for you and I can’t wait to see it unfold.

Julee and Travis are the other couple that I took down to the Ventura Beach Pier for a quick Anytime Session. Julee and Travis have dated for several years and now have plans to tie the knot! I couldn’t be happier for them! Travis likes to tease and Julee likes to laugh so they are perfect for each other. I had a great time with them and really love the fact that they, along with Tommy and Brittany treated Eric and I to Chick-fil-a after the session. Definitely made our tummies happy. Happy for you guys, congrats!!

Brittany and Tommy are engaged!! While at the Ventura Beach Marriott for a retreat we headed down to the pier to do a little back to back engagement session with two couples. Part 2 of this post will follow soon. The rocky shoreline wasn’t so easy to walk on but we made it down there and had such a fun time. Even got a little wet!! (On purpose of course.) The magic word to make them smile was to say “cotton candy” but you would’ve needed to be at the retreat to understand that. All that matters is we had a good time laughing and got some great shots. We are so happy for you guys and wish you God’s best!

Check it out, it’s Mater from the movie Cars!! I went over to get some shots of Mater early this morning and I couldn’t pass up a post on this tasty masterpiece. Nadia Cakes did an awesome job! If you get the chance swing by her store in Palmdale, CA and grab some of her delicious cupcakes. http://www.nadiacakes.com/

Saturday Eric and I loaded up and went to the Antelope Valley Fairgrounds to set up my booth for the Antelope Valley Bridal Show. I wasn’t sure how I would like but I decided to give it a try and I’m certainly glad I did. Despite the long hours of preparation and skipping a few meals in the rush of things I had a great experience and really enjoyed meeting everyone who stopped by my booth. As a new business in the AV it was nice to meet other vendors from the area and I look forward to keeping in touch with them in the months ahead. Below are a few photos from our fun day!

Although all I had to eat that day was half of my peanut butter mood from Jamba Juice I sure am enjoying the leftover Ghirardelli Cholates 
My husband (Eric Hayes) and hard working graphic designer made my business cards and accordion fold brochures which I loved! Thanks hun!
The contents on the rest of this page are going to make you drool! Just across the way from us was a booth with some absolutely stunning cakes! I thought that I recognized one of the ladies at the booth and kept telling my husband “I think I know that lady at the awesome cake booth.” I finally got the guts up to go over and say hi and it turns out that I went to a baby shower at her home a few years ago. Her shop is called Nadia Cakes and she’s simply amazing at what she does. Here’s a little article on Nadia Cakes in the Antelope Valley News http://bit.ly/782U8G.
My favorite one!

Kayla and Jonathan were married on November 20, 2009 at Lancaster Baptist Church in Lancaster, CA. They met as teenagers and absolutely adore one another. Their wedding was absolutely beautiful and they both looked amazing. One of my favorite parts of shooting a wedding is the time in the ready room with the bridesmaids and the bride. Excitement is bubbling over, girls are rushing to get all spiffed up and the Bride is the center of attention. As the photographer I feel lucky to be able to stand in the background getting shots of the little moments between the girls and the stunning details during this “ready” time. It’s such a fun and exciting time just before all the action begins. What a joy it was be a part in their day and I wish them all the best in years to come.

What a wonderful family! Eric and I have the great joy of attending Lancaster Baptist Church where Pastor Paul Chappell is the pastor and we recently took their family pictures. It was a lovely day and this close nit family was absolutely beautiful! They recently welcomed a new member to the family, baby Camden and he added some extra cuteness to the photos. There was a moment just as everyone was getting into place when little Camden let out a loud sign as if he was so glad to finally be in place for the photo. We couldn’t help but to crack up laughing! It’s the little moments like this one that I love the most when doing a photo session. They are moments you never forget! We certainly love our Pastor and his family!

Proud parents!
Here’s the Mordh family and their new little guy! Camden everybody’s favorite It was like watching a game of hot potato between Auntie Kristine and Nana as they passed him back and forth.
Larry was recently diagnosed with cancer and the grace of God in his life sure has been evident in the last couple weeks. We certainly love Larry and Ashley and have been praying for them every day. Please keep them in your prayers as well as they await a very serious and needful surgery for Larry this month. We love you guys!!
Last but not least, the lovely ladies! Love moments like these when everyone squeezes together for one last photo!

Went to the park yesterday with Eric to practice with lighting. Half the time I was freezing my tush off while talking on the phone and trying to block the wind from annoying my friend on the other end. Eric waited patiently for to get off the phone and in the mean time he pushed me around to put me where he wanted me so he could take a picture. The other half of the time I was numb enough to stand being outside so I got some practice in as well
Here’s some photos from our little outing.
