TLC’s Fabulous Cakes: Nadia Cakes

Sunday, August 8th, 2010

Abby, the owner of Nadia Cakes in Palmdale, California called me up back in May and asked if I could come shoot her fabulous pillow cake just before the big reveal of the cake which she made to be shown on TLC’s Fabulous Cakes show. Of course I was super excited as I always am to shoot Abby’s awesome creations! She revealed the cake as a gift for a young lady at her 16th birthday party.

It was so much fun watching the film crew do their thing and I was even more excited when the TLC film crew asked if they could use my images for the episode! After all TLC is like my favorite channel ever! Isn’t it every girls favorite channel??

I know being on the show has meant a lot to Abby, Carlos and the team at Nadia Cakes. Congrats to you guys on creating a fabulous cake and building a great business in such a short time. You’re cakes, cupcakes and treats look and taste absolutely fabulous!

Here are a few photos from the day of the reveal. After your are done looking at the photos and drooling, go buy a cake or some cupcakes at Nadia Cakes in Palmdale!

Melodie + Jayson: The Engagement

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

Melodie and Jayson’s engagement session is perhaps my favorite engagement session so far. We stayed local and went to Palmdale, California and found a nice area with some great light and hallways with arches.

I Had a great time getting to know Melodie and Jayson during their session. Since I’ve only spent time around Melodie while she was coaching a volleyball team if was funny at first seeing her be all giddy with Jayson. They are such a cute couple!

So happy for you two!

Mitch + Melinda: The Wedding

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

Eric and I headed to the coast on a Saturday morning to shoot Mitch and Melinda’s wedding in Ventura, California. We enjoyed the drive and were excited to start shooting such a sweet couple. We met Mitch and Melinda through Mitch’s dad who is a photographer here in Lancaster. I knew when I met them that their wedding day would be relaxed and beautiful and it was just that. We and enjoyed the day and watching these two become one was beautiful! When I gave them their wedding package today they gave me a hug!! Awesome clients and beautiful people inside and out!

Melinda and her bridesmaids got ready at the Embassy Suites Mandalay Beach Hotel and Resort which is where we took most the the portraits as well. The grounds were gorgeous! Thank you Mitch and Melinda for letting us document this amazing time in your lives!

One big happy family!

Monday, May 31st, 2010

The Bullock’s are from Georgia and their “ya’ll” and “ain’t” talk was a sweet reminder of our family back in Virginia. The bullocks were recently here in California for Doug’s college graduation and wanted to get some family photos as a gift to their mom for Mother’s Day. Markie, their oldest son and his wife Christy are starting an orphanage in Mexico. Debbie and I met in college and I was one of her bridesmaids back in 2005.  Debbie and her husband Alan live in Georgia and love serving at their local church. Doug and his wife Amber recently moved to Colorado where they serve on staff at a Front Range Baptist Church.

Although this family is not so close on the map they certainly are very close in each others hearts. It was a joy to take their family photos and spend a little time with them. They are a genuine and beautiful family.

Gibbs Family: Anytime Session

Friday, April 16th, 2010

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.

Lancaster California Wedding: Kayla & Jonathan

Friday, January 1st, 2010

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.
