We snuck in my last engagement session of the year on a super dramatic winter day. Michelle and Steve got some amazing stormy beach skies that I just love!!! MIchelle works on a boat so it’s sooo fitting that they had thier engagment session at the harbor and on the beach. Michelle and Steve were such a fun couple to shoot! I can tell that their wedding is going to be full of a ton of laughs!

It was my first time hosting Christmas at my house and I was sooooo excited! Everything really turned out amazing! Here are some cute pics!

I got Steve a Wii… funny story.. because that’s what he bought for me too. We kinda caught on before Christmas and I got an iphone instead!

Now that I’m married I get to cook all the holiday dinners. Here’s my mom and Annt Clyda a little too excited to pass off the “honor” ;) Gotta love them!!!! Thankfully Steve knows how to cook!

My Dad having a great Christmas by catching up his people magazine!

So cute! My brother and his girlfriend Rikki.

Rikki loves her present!!!!

Everyone’s gone home and now it’s cozy movie time with my Mom :)

Happy Holidays!!! Thank you all for helping make 2008 a fabulous year!

How could I blog this wedding only once. I know it’s odd… but as I was editing this wedding I just fell in love with so many more pictures that I had to put more on the blog. The details were just so phenomenal. Karmela and Sal got married at Brand Park in Glendale. The Reception was held at Urartu Resturant. It was a beautiful as it was a party!

Kip took this picture and it’s so smokin’ hot!!!!

Jolanta’s friend bought her a gift certificate for her birthday and I’m so glad she did. What a nice Birthday present! We had the most fun playing around at Paramount Ranch for Jolanta’s portrait session. I think she looks amazing! As beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside too! What a sweetheart. I’m so glad she had so much fun with it! She really worked it!

I’m so glad I got to do pictures with Kristina’s family this year. We were supposed to do it last year and postponed. I met Kristina at Kim and Bill’s wedding and was soooo looking forward to taking more pictures of Zoe. Those blue eyes are so expressive and beautiful! It was so much fun to do a session with the whole family. And the pumpkin bread Kristina gave me afterwards totally hit the spot. Enjoy!!!

I can totally tell which ones are Amanda and Andrew’s favorites by thier order.
This one was a hit!

I’m so glad they liked some of the unusual angles :)

I love the christmas card they picked out!

and I love, love, love the picture they picked out for the back of the card. It’s my favorite from their engagement session!

I met up with the Lowen’s for thier annual family portrait for the Christmas card. I was so excited that we got to use thier neighbor’s vineyard for the portrait session. There is nothing I love more then portraits in a vineyard at the golden hour. It’s the trifecta! ;)
