Let me start off by saying how fabulous Amy’s diamond is! Just like her reception! The rooftop at the Canary Hotel in Santa Barbara was perfect for their celebration :) Being at their reception I couldn’t help but smile, what a great group of people!

Amy’s Petit Four wedding cake was as yummy as it looks… love that amazing blue sky in the background :)
Seashells accented their reception details, perfect for a beach town wedding!!
Doesn’t it look like the world disappears around them when they are looking at each other? Their first dance was everything it should be… and now every time they hear their song play they will think of this sweet moment.
The tent made their reception cozy and romantic… I hope everyone got a chance to look up and watch the rain hit the clear top with the intense blue sky blanketed around us :)
Maybe it was being in beautiful Santa Barbara. Maybe it was the magic of being on a rooftop while it rains. Maybe it was just the joy of being newlyweds. Whatever the reason, these two fell more in love with each other in this instant.
There are no words to describe how hilarious this karaoke group was. The guys sang to Amy and the girls sang to Steve and it was classic. Pure comedy.
Another affectionate candid moment, I think it’s so romantic that he kisses her on the forehead.
This photograph captures the energy of their reception perfectly!
Alison & Brent got married at Eucalyptus Lane in Ventura. It was such a beautiful garden wedding. I thought it was so perfect how Alison’s smile just lit up every time she looked at Brent. It was a fun wedding to shoot because we knew so many people at the wedding. I almost felt like a guest :)
See more pictures from Eucalyptus Lane in the Angel Project post. We love it so much we stayed there all day :)
Eucalyptus Lane has the most amazing barn ever! I’m sooo in love with it!
I had to sneak into the barn for some pictures :)
I just love the trees! And a little hint of purple :)
Yesterday I had the pleasure of doing a family photo session for Cher, Judy and Joseph. We all met up in Ojai. Judy works at the Ojai Valley Inn & Spa so we thought it would be fun and fitting to shoot at the Ojai Valley Inn. We had a great time playing in the herb garden and at the friendship tree. The lighting was beautiful! I couldn’t asked for any better. Of course Cher and Joseph were cracking me up! What a bunch of class clowns! Laugh a minute :) hehehe
Afterwards we all went out to dinner. Thanks for dinner Joseph!!!
Wyatt is 3 months old! More blogging to come soon.
Lisa signed up for my Baby’s first year package. I’m so excited! Our first session was Paris’s 3 month birthday. She’s sooooo cute! I loved getting some shots in Paris’s crib with all her toys and blankets. I really think children portriats work best when you capture them in their own environment. We has some fun when we took her outside to play on the grass. I loved seeing her cute little toes play with the grass.

Sunday was Sophie’s 2nd Bday. We had a BBQ at Conejo Creek Park in Thousand Oaks. We had Meat Locker catered in. So yummy!!! They have the best BBQ ever! I was so stuffed from tri-tip but i still saved a little room for cake.
Sophie had a great time at the park with her new wagon wheel. Makenna and Austin got a special ride. Of course Tina had to pull them – Sophie insisted ;) So cute!!!! I wish I was small enough to get a ride in the wagon… need to lose a few more pounds first ;)
It was good to hand out with the family :)

On Sunday we celebrated Makena’s 1st Birthday. It was a princess party and all the little girls dressed up like princesses. It was so cute! The party was held at Rick & Keri’s in Ojai. Good food, family & friends… a good time was had by all! It’s a kick to see the next generation of kids playing around! The girls were having a blast playing with Makena’s presents in the princess wear. I think I should have a princess party this year! After all…. we all really are princesses at heart! ;)
I gave my Mom my spare camera and had her play assistant. I love this pic! Apple dosen’t fall far from the tree :)
After the party Joan and Mom had me take pictures of them for their older sister Charlene. I got a few good laughs out of them. This picture is my favorite! Such goof balls!
I had the pleassure of photographing a couple’s Valentine’s dinner for the Camarillo Evangelical Free Church in Camarillo. It was in the Clubhouse at Village of the Park. It was beautiful! I really want to go back and do a model shoot there ;) Red’s BBQ was catered in. The entire club house was decorated in a red cowboy theme. The whole event was a blast! It was great to see each couple walk up arm in arm! Love was in the air :) It’s always a great time to photograph such fun group!
If you’d like to order a 5×7 for $7 please email me. I’ll give them to Karyn to take to church so you don’t have to pay S&H.

Shawnah & Gen went to the park for a play date with the Kids. I tagged along, camera in hand! We got some great pics of the Kids. Jansen just loves Lana!
I had the pleasure of second shooting for Jen Rau this weekend for Shannon & Robert’s wedding. Shannon & Robert got marriedd at CLU. This wedding was awesome! They got the coolest old car to take them from the church to the reception. I had the best time with Jen taking shots of them with the car. Shannon & Robert graduated from Cal Lutheran University. Everyone had a great time celebrating on their old stomping grounds :)
