Last year I started a new tradition, a fun and creative Valentine’s Day inspiration shoot. It’s my one shoot a year where I get to be as creative as I want with the location and little details. I picked out all the decor and picked up the cupcakes from Nadia Cakes in Palmdale, CA. Below are several photographs from my Valentine’s Day inspiration shoot at the Ventura Beach Pier in Ventura, CA. I love the lace detail on the bride’s gown! (Thanks Luke and Sharon! You two were perfect for it!) This shoot was also featured in Sparkle & Hay wedding blog and you can see that post here.
Bianca and Joel are two very sweet people and it was a joy to be part of their wedding day in Victorville, CA. They met in college while they were attending Pensacola Christian College. One of my favorite things about their wedding day was that you could sense just how much they loved their family and friends. Although it was Bianca’s big day she didn’t hesitate to congratulate her good friends on their pregnancy during her wedding reception. Her friends had been trying for a long time to have a baby and they told Bianca at her wedding that they were expecting. Joel and Bianca are a lovely couple and I am so excited for them as they begin their journey together as a married couple. Below are some images from their wedding. Enjoy!
Had the privilege to photograph this little gem recently. Such a precious and cute little girl she is! She managed to down an entire bottle while I was there even though her dad said she just ate. Pictures can give you a work out I guess.
Celebrating Christ’s birth is quite miraculous and I absolutely love the Christmas season!! There’s something about the lights, music, manger scenes, busy stores, hot cocoa and cool air that makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.
While we did get off to a bit of a late start on the decorating we managed to get it done this last week. We put the tree up on Wednesday night while watching little women and drinking some hot cocoa. Little Women was my pick of course.
My mom has probably watched little women 100 times, it’s quite the family favorite. We’re all decked out for Christmas now and feeling pretty jolly! Here are a few pictures of our tree and the pictures we took today for our Christmas card. Merry Christmas!!
I love this guy.
And because we like to make silly faces…
Our tree and one of my favorite glass ornaments.
Enjoyed time at the park with Camden Mordh and photographing him for his first birthday. It was so fun to photograph this cute little guy! His mommy Danielle and Aunt Kristi did lots clapping, singing and noise making so we could get some good smiles. We had to scare some 10yr old boys out of the baby swing but as soon as they were gone we put Camden right in. I think the swing was his favorite part of the day! He loved going high like the big boys do. Well maybe not like some big boys but he was having a blast. Happy first birthday to Camden!!
The picture on the left below is of Camden when he was just a week or so old. They grow so fast!
Here is another one of Camden’s feet at just a week or so old.
Abby from Nadia Cakes called me this morning to let me know that my name was in the AV Press for the pictures of their event for TLC‘s show Fabulous Cakes. So excited to see my name in the paper for the first time! This is the second appearance for Nadia Cakes on the Fabulous Cakes show and as usual the cake was amazing!
Last week we braved the 100mp winds and freezing weather for the Chappell Family photos at Robinson Ranch in Santa Clarita, CA. We did manage to find a couple areas around the club house that were out of the wind so we didn’t have hair flying everywhere the whole time.
