Gibbs Family: Anytime Session

admin — Sat, 17 Apr 2010 02:20:29 +0000

To say the least I absolutely love this family! I met Janelle while we were in college and we’ve been best buds ever since. We were both from opposite ends of the great state of Oregon and to make a long story short we ended up finding out that her dad and my uncle knew one another quite well. Janelle went to school with my cousins and Janelle’s dad had worked with my uncle on construction projects. What a small world! Jonathan, Janelle and their son Josiah now live in Florida and while they were out visiting last week we got together for a little family shoot at the park. Thanks for the fun time Gibbs Family!! Love you guys!

My favorite

We gave Josiah blueberries to keep him happy for the second half of the session so I had to get pictures with his mouth closed because it was fill with blueness.

Blueberries all gone now. I was holding his favorite book full of trucks and tractors to get a good smile. He loves tractors!

Dada threw him up in the air a few times but Josiah wasn’t too sure about going too high.

Joy & Corey: Engaged

Had a great time with Joy and Corey while shooting their engagement pictures at the park. Corey is in the Army and took a short leave to come see Joy here in Lancaster and get their engagement pictures done. The lovely 100 mph freezing winds seemed to just make their session a little bit more fun and forced us to get creative with trying to keep Joy’s hair down and Corey’s fingers from going numb. Congrats Joy and Corey, it was great getting to know you two!

Antelope Valley Photographer: Happy Valentine’s Day

admin — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 07:12:45 +0000

Eric and I got together with Doug & Amber yesterday and did a mini styled Valentine photoshoot. I was inspired by the many blog posts I’ve been reading lately and wanted to put together a little something for Valentine’s Day. We had a fun time even when the wind made the balloons go crazy! I loved adding the extra elements to the photos. The beautiful flowers were from Fashion Flowers in Lancaster, CA and the delicious cupcakes were from Nadia Cakes in Palmdale, CA. Two businesses that I love. Thank you Doug & Amber, you guys were awesome!

Lancaster California Wedding: Kayla & Jonathan

admin — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 02:10:18 +0000

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.

Antelope Valley Wedding Photography: Jon & Lucee

admin — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 22:18:25 +0000

I am sure that Jon and Lucee never imagined that they would have to go all the way to Japan to meet one another but that is exactly how it happened. Lucee met Jon while on vacation in Okinawa, Japan! Jon was stationed in Okinawa and while he was there he often volunteered at the church where Lucee’s Brother-in-law pastored. Jon and Lucee met while helping out with church camp. They officially began dating in August of 2008 and kept in close touch after Lucee went back home to California. Jon was soon sent to Camp Pendleton in San Diego, California and on May 30th he proposed to Lucee after a lovely meal at the Odyssey in Granada Hills, California.

Congrats Lucee and Jon!

Gotta love the smile on the girl to the left!

The flower girls and ring bearer are siblings. Big brother was kind enough to hold his sisters’ hands although he was a little reluctant at first. Typical brother.

The gals and their flowers from Fashion Flowers.

This was just after they said their vows. So happy!

A few of my favorite wedding photos!

Just got off the phone with a friend after discussing wedding photography and all the details of starting a business. I was reminded of how awesome it is to capture a couple’s wedding day and how much I love it! While there is stress and pressure on the big day it so pays off when I get home and download the images! So here I am thinking about how much I love it as I am browsing through some wedding photos and thought I’d post some of my favs!

Such a pretty flower girl!

Sisters!

This is from a wedding last year. Their first anniversary is coming up soon. Happy early anniversary Jon & Kristi!

I love the bride being out of focus here with the water in focus.

Daddy getting ready to walk his oldest daughter down the isle to be married.

Dave & Britt were such a sweet couple to shoot. They were absolutely head over heals for one another! Brittany’s Dad went home to be with the Lord in 2006. Her Dad was an organ donor and she was able to receive part of his knee latter that year when she had to have knee surgery. In a very special way Brittany still got to have her daddy walk her down the isle!

I love the moment just before the kiss!

Sparklers are one of my favorite endings to a wedding. They are so pretty and the Bride and Groom look awesome running through them.

He was a shy little ring bearer but that just made him look more cute
