About a month ago I was able to attend a photography workshop held by Joy Harmon Prouty with Wildflowers Photography. I have been following Joy’s photography for a couple years now and she is such an inspiration to my and my art. I was thrilled to attend this workshop in Julian, CA where we were able to not only learn from her but watch her shoot and photograph along side her. This session that I am sharing with you today is one of the family sessions designed by Joy and the mama in the session. Both of these women are so creative and so talented and to be able to photograph this was so much fun. Please check out Joy at http://www.wildflowersphotos.com.

Recently I have been more aware that life can present its sets of challenges and pains, I personally have family members that are close to me that are struggling with sickness, young and old.  Life’s hard realities are ever present.

That being said, sometimes I am overwhelmed with the love I see in others. This couple is no exception. The number one thing I love about being a photographer is that I get a front row seat in people’s expression of affection and love for each other.  I get a glimpse into how they look at one another and it is in these moments I am reminded that life is beautiful. Okay, I will stop there in an effort to not sound to sappy.

It is no secret I love baby bumps and today I am sharing a family that is expecting 2 babies which equals double the excitement.  Enjoy, and I hope you feel the love

Happy Thursday…..

It has been a little while since I have had time to post a new session, but I am back from the blogging dead.

Today I am sharing with you a special session. It is special to me because as many of you know I am a Labor and Deliver RN. For this family I was at the birth of this beautiful little one and then a few weeks later had the absolute pleasure of meeting the family as a whole and capturing some really fun moments they shared.  Fun with welcoming spring time to Seattle. Thank you so much to the Delano family for allowing me to be part of these moments.

I am procrastinating packing for my trip to Mexico  (which I have to get up at 4am for) to do one more post. I am doing this because I am so stinkin proud of her!!!
OK. Let me being by saying that this girl is uber talented and I am proud to say that she is my niece. Maddie lives in SoCal so on my last trip home I had the absolute pleasure of photographing her. She is what any photographer would call a DREAM to photograph.

When I first met my husband 13 years ago Maddie came into my life,  she was just a sweet little 4 year old girl and I have had the opportunity to see her grow up and blossom into a stunning young woman who is beautiful inside and out.

Currently Maddie is blowing up into a track star at Valencia High School in Valencia CA. Watch out world you are going to see more of this girl!!! In our shoot we wanted to play with her passion for running and her enthusiasm for fashion. Her mom; who just happens to be my sister in law, Gwen styled the shoot and came up with some fun and creative concepts to showcase Maddie for who she truly is… A shining Star.!!!

Hi there and Happy Monday!!!

Today I have for you one of my favorite types of sessions. Photographing bellies and babies is how I got started in this photography business world. Being that I moonlight as a labor and delivery nurse I have an affinity for both the beauty of a mother’s tummy and that little life that awaits inside.

The first part of this shoot I partnered with Jenn Blake from “bow tie & bustle”.  Jenn came up with the concept and design for this super fun “bun in the oven” inspired theme. See more of Jenn’s work at www.bowtieandbustle.com.  We were also featured on “On to Baby”  a cute blog about all things lovely for moms and babies.

When little Sophia came I was able to photograph a few more gorgeous moments for this beautiful family.
