Princesses and Trains

Favorite things

Fun Pictures of kids with their favorite things. Here we have Bella with her princess dolls, and her little brother Keagan with trains, and woody! Keagan wasnt so hot on having pictures taken, but between mom and me, we got some great smiles out of him. Bella...well, she was a different story. She couldnt help but be a perfect princess for every picture!!

Books, Books and more Books!

Favorite Things

Fun kid pictures with their favorite things continues. When Liam got to our location and his mom pulled out his books, he just sat down and started opening them. Reading at 2 1/2 is spectacular, and its wonderful to see such liveliness in the kiddos. He did eventually move on to playing with sticks, who knows why we all spend so much money on toys, we should just gather sticks and leaves and tell the kids to have a blast!!

Sports Balls

Favorite things

Lorence just loves these sports balls! I would put them next to him and he would pick them up and throw them back to me, and somewhere in there, I'd try to snap a picture of him. I definitely got my fill of "ball play".

Trains, Trains, Trains!

Favorite Things

To kick off a new series of Kid's pictures, I had a condensed photoday. Offering special pricing and blocked out mini photo sessions, I had 5 kids that volunteered (or their moms volunteered them) to come on out and bring their "favorite things". We're going to start out with Parker. Trains Trains Trains! Just can't get enough of them, and now he'll never forget how he once loved Thomas and friends from the island of sodor.

Crazy Stella

Brooks Family

I've been lucky this year to be able to do family photos for some of my best friends and now I had the opportunity to do pictures for my neighbors.

Taylor + Christian

{Just Married}

Mr. & Mrs. Ford made it official on November 21st in the pouring rain of Temecula. This very wet Sunday morning gathered their friends and family at Lake Oak Meadows, nestled in Temecula Wine country. The down pour, that rarely shows its face in Southern California, didnt stop Taylor from having and outdoor wedding on the grass just below the vineyards, nor did it keep Taylor and Christian from smiling from ear to ear. Love is...

Taylor is the perfect bride. Planned the day around photography, picked a gorgeous location and would do just about anything and always with a great attitude.

It was pouring rain all of Saturday and all of Sunday morning (day of the wedding). We all hoped that the clouds would break and the ceremony could take place without umbrellas, but the skies were persistent and continued to drop some of the heaviest rain I've ever seen in my 27 years here in Southern California. Taylor kept a smile on her face, and her ceremony outside.

Luck would have it that the second Taylor and Christian finished their ceremony and got into their limo.... the skies would break and the sun started to shine. Though not what they had planned, it was perfect for their pictures.

Thanks so much to the new Mr. & Mrs. Ford for including me in their wedding day and for being such amazing models!

Umbrellas and all...

and this is where the sun came out
