Pankratz Family: Hudson’s Being Promoted to Big Brother!
Oh man, this kid cracks me up. His joy and unceasing happiness is contagious. All of his expressions had me laughing out loud as I edited his photos so I just had to put together this little animation to document all the little moments in between. See, now don't you love him too? :) A small reason I got to take his pictures this day was just because I hadn't been able to get him in front of my camera in such a very long time. But the second reason, the biggest reason, was to make this announcement to the world
Sam Allen Creates : May and June 2015
I don't know about you but May seems just like yesterday so posting about projects created that month, and in June, seems totally valid. Right right? Even if that's just me feeling that way, you still may like seeing a peek at some of the projects that came across my desk that month. Considering we were gone in Oregon and Colorado for half of May, this compilation is that much crazier to me—and of course still working full time. I definitely felt quite crazy there for awhile, but here's why
Jeannette’s Newborn Photos, Family Photography
It's always amazing to see friends you've known for forever become parents. Brittany and I have known each other since we were seven years old and little Brownie Girl Scouts! She met the love of her life just after Andy and I got married in 2007
DJ’s Senior Photos, Murrieta Photography, and Graduation Announcement
Let me introduce to you the cousin of one of our very best friend's
A Johnson Family Christmas, Cleveland National Forest
As I looked back on last year's Johnson family photos, I laughed that I had noted that posting in February was late. Well now it's almost May and I am just now sharing some of my favorites from this session with them from this past Christmas. I discovered these lovely locations with Reed and Hedder just weeks before I met with the Johnsons and just knew I had to go back as soon as possible. Hope you enjoy these photos of one of my favorite families in the whole wide world in my favorite field ever! We must start with the youngest star of the family, in all her dimple grin adorableness! I can't even fathom how many photos I have of this lovely lady
Baby Hudson’s Newborn Photos
Well now that this little guy is over 3 months old, I guess its time to post his newborn photos that we shot back in December. Goodness, I am so behind in life
Sam Allen Creates : January and February 2015
This blog has totally fallen to the wayside as I have been trying to maintain all these various projects. Monday Musings and Friday Footnotes have been non existent for some time but I hope to bring those back soon along with a monthly, or bi-monthly feature of the miscellaneous projects I've been working on. Between my friends and Etsy clients, there's a lot of random projects that cross my desk that don't really have a place in my Etsy listings quite yet as they are too unique or custom and then other smaller projects for friends that don't quite need a full blog post. Or of course, an Etsy project that when photographed, hide amongst the nearly 150 listings in my shop. Either way, I just wanted to share a few of the fun things I've had a chance to work on, through my shop and on the side. If I haven't said it a thousand times already, I love my work. Love love love it. January This was the most insane month of my life, work-wise. My full time job kept me quite busy with TONS of overtime working on a catalog so lots of early early mornings, late nights, and weekends were
Lauren and Kellen’s Autumn Oak Glen Mini Session for Christmas
I'm sure you all remember the Wagoners. They've been featured here quite a few times! Lauren had come with me to help with the beautiful Ryan family's photos in Oak Glen. And of course, she fell in love with the beautiful setting. So we planned to come back a few weeks later to take her and Kellen's photo for their Christmas card. Here's a few of my favorites
Vinagre Family, Murrieta Family Photography at Santa Rosa Plateau
Here's a few of my favorites from our family session with the Vinagre family! Thanks to football season, they became my first ever sunrise session. Thank you Brandi, Shane and Bronx for waking up before dawn to make this day happen!
The Ryan Family’s Fall Christmas Photos in Oak Glen, Outdoor Family Portrait Photography
This family. Oh, how much do I love and adore them. Pretty much some of the nicest, most genuine people that I have ever met. Meet the Ryan family
