Stephanie and Kyle are such a cute couple! I really enjoyed photographing this wedding. Both Stephanie and Kyle looked so amazing! They were married at Stephanie’s Dad’s church. The ceremony was so touching! There is just something so special about having your Dad marry you :) We took some fun portraits before the ceremony and even more after. This reception really kept us on our toes as each table serenaded Stephanie and Kyle! Instead of the traditional clinqing of the glasses these guests really had to work for it ;) So much fun! Stephanie and Kyle are enjoying their honeymoon right now! It’s a suprise for Stephanie… I can’t wait to hear where they went!

This wedding was A M A Z I N G! Carrie got ready at the Fess Parker Doubletree. The girls were in such good spirits! Carrie has such a contagious smile! We headed over to the Santa Barbara Courthouse to do all the bridal party portraits and first glance. Of course we headed off in style in the trolly! I love it when the bride and groom see each other before the wedding. The first glance moment is just the best! I loved the look on Brad’s face when he saw Carrie. So priceless!

Happy 50th wedding anniversary to Linda and Len! What an accomplishment! As a wedding photographer it’s so great to see a couple that still looks as happy to years down the road as they looked on day one. I love the photo of them on their wedding day! What a handsome couple! Congrat’s! Wishing you many more good years!

Kaoru and Patrick had a fabulous wedding at the La Venta Inn. The details were amazing! From her bright blue high heels to the pink floral centerpieces, every detail had so much thought put into it. It was simple, vintage and romantic. The day was beautiful!!! Kaoru looked stunning!
Thanks to Leslie for helping me shoot this wedding!

I had a fabulous time photographing the Chestnut’s at McMenamin’s. Who knew Oregon had such great light!!! What a great looking family :)








We headed over to McMenamin’s again for Karyn’s family portrait. I could shoot here everyday!



Karyn and I headed out on an adventure to take some portraits of Hayden. Since we are big wine lovers we took some baskets and headed to wine country. Duck Pond Cellars was kind enough to let us take portraits in the vineyard.. I just love Oregon! Hopefully these photos represent Hayden and Karyn’s family. I can just see more family portraits in vineyards for years to come!






Pears are the state fruit of Oregon!

The whole reason I headed up to Oregon is this beautiful baby below! My best friend Karyn had Hayden…. she’s such a miracle! I loved photographing Karyn and Hayden in the nursery. These special moments are what life is made of!

Meg is such a good dog mommy :D

Hayden loves a good burrito!

Of course we couldn’t get out of the house without having to give Hayden a bath!

Amanda and Andrew had a fabulous wedding at Hartley Botanica on a very festive 4th of July weekend. The wedding was so beautiful! I’m so in love with the lighted arches at Hartley’s!

I had the honor of photographing my friend Katie’s birth session a few weeks ago. I love shooting births! There just isn’t anything more emotional then a wedding… The moments between loved ones just melt your heart. Here’s a story of one family becoming just a little bigger!
I just thought these moments were so sweet! Waiting for baby Isaac to come!

Doesn’t Katie look so beautiful!!! I love her red hair! This one had to be in color :)

I had to get a picture with Katie!

I think the image on the right says it all ;)

I love these moments between couples in the delivery room!

Dad’s so excited! Baby’s about to come!
