Bride and Groom models needed for my Valentine’s Day styled wedding shoot this year! I’ll probably be incorporating burlap in some way. You will need to be in wedding attire and we’ll discuss the hair and makeup look I’m going for. Please email me a picture of the two of you if you are interested. The shoot will take place on February 10 or 11 (depending on your schedule) in the Santa Clarita area. Please share with friends if you think they might be interested and you can check out last year’s shoot here 2011 V-Day Shoot.

I enjoyed seeing the Adraino’s again to shoot their family Christmas photos. The last time I saw little Owen he was a tiny newborn and now he’s almost walking around! I also took Elizabeth’s maternity photos back in April and you can see the photos from that session here. One of the things I really enjoy about being  photographer is being able to see a family grow year after year.  Elizabeth and Michael are both teachers and keep busy with being involved in school activities. They wonderful people and I’m so happy for them and their new addition to the family.

This shoot was my first newborn twin shoot and I was extremely excited for it. Patricia contacted me originally to take her maternity but as things tend to not go how we plan she ended up needing to wait until after the twins were born for pictures. These two precious babies truly are Christmas miracles! Caylee and Carter are a boy and girl, and Carter’s lungs are not healthy enough yet so you’ll see him with oxygen on in the pictures. I say he was being a good big brother and giving his sister more nutrients while still inside mommy.  This family is beautiful and if you think of them say a prayer as Carter is still having some health struggles that they are learning more about and continuing to manage.

I met Julie through a friend sending her my way and shot her daughter Ayla for the first time at a pumpkin patch. You can see the Pumpkin Patch session here. Julie is a beautiful and very sweet woman and I love photographing her family. As usual Ayla looks adorable in her romper but we did have to keep Daddy (Jim) from sneaking orange candy to her in fear of having some orange slobber smiles.

This year when I started looking into Christmas orientated picture ideas I decided to go a little out of the box for myself and shoot indoors but still use all natural light to light my subjects. Christmas lights are one of my favorite parts about Christmas so when I saw this background ida on Pinterest I decided to give it a go. I love how the images turned out and you’ll be seing a super cute twin newborn session and another family session using this background as well. Thanks for reading!

Last week I met up with Andrea in Michael in Valencia to take their engagement photos. One of the best things about this couple is that they like to have their goofy moments with each other. Well maybe it’s mostly Michael being a goof and making Andrea laugh at him, but still it makes for a fun time with them. I am excited for their wedding in May and I know it’s going to be a fun and beautiful day.
