They were all so friendly and the kind of people that make me love what I do. Although we had never met before we had a fun and relaxed time together shooting their family photos. Here are a few shots from their session.

Since Jacob and Sara are good friends of ours naturally we were excited to shoot their family. Their two boys are the cutest little rascals! Time flew by and it started to get dark but we hardly noticed because we were having such a great time with them. Here a are a few photos from the session.  Thanks Jacob and Sara for the fun time!

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!

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!

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!

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.

Something I learned about these boys in the process of getting to know them before their session is that although they are twins they have different birthdays! Drew was born after midnight so his birthday the day after Josh’s. I guess this means that mom and dad can’t make them split their presents. :-)

For their senior pictures we headed out to the back side of the desert in the Antelope Valley and found a couple cool locations. Drew loves to play the guitar so we pulled it out a few times and Josh is into photography and piano.  I gave Josh my second camera to hold for some of the pictures and I’m pretty sure he would have liked to keep it. :-) Josh brought along his keyboard and lugged the heavy thing up the hill to get to the rocks where we were shooting.  Both of them were such a blast to shoot and I got my exercise in at the same time from climbing up the rocks. It was a win win photo shoot!  Congrats guys on graduating!
