Rachel and Amelia’s Bedroom in the Trees, Mama and Baby Photography
This photo shoot came to being when Rachel and her little babe stayed the weekend at my house. Seeing them snuggled up together in bed sparked an idea to make a little outdoor bed complete with a wooden pallet headboard, a bedroom among the trees if you will. We definitely were just "winging" it the day we scampered about town looking for a location and finally found this grove of trees within a 5 minute drive from my house. In my head I pictured our little sleepy baby from Amelia's newborn and 3 month photos, but of course the little miss was wide awake

Northeast Trip: Evelyn’s Family Photos in Maine
Watching our family grow is really just the sweetest feeling! Just two years ago my cousin Katie got married and now this year we got to meet their sweet baby girl Evelyn. While in Maine we got to steal a few mornings for photos with their little growing family
Baby Evelyn and Family at the San Diego Botanic Garden
While I'm away here in Maine, I still wanted to make sure I kept my usual post schedule. So while I get to be with this little cutie and her family in person this week, I wanted to share some photos of our time we spent back on the west coast at the San Diego Botanic Garden! I mean look at those thighs! :) How adorable is their little family of 3! And I know I'll get some *loving* feedback but I just had to post these photos of my parents loving on their new great (or is it grand?) niece. Oh and hey, Andy and I even got a photo together too! Now that is a rare occassion! And then the trip wouldn't be complete without a walk along the Pacific coast. Looking forward to posting even more photos of this adorable family once I get back from being here on the east coast! :)
Amelia Celine, Newborn Photography and Birth Announcement, with her Mama Rachel
Miss Amelia made her debut a few weeks early, gracing us with her presence on June 8, just weeks after her baby shower. Rachel and I wasted no time in getting together for photos exactly on her one week birthday. The little princess did not want to show us her skin but I did manage to snap my favorite photo before we bundled her back up! She just loved being close to her mama
Crossfit Couple, Jarryd and Chelsea’s Engagement Portraits
I have been so excited to share this session with you! Chelsea and I grew up together, our sisters were in girl scouts together and their family is very close to my best friend Amie's. So when Chelsea contacted me about taking their engagement photos I jumped at the chance! We met up at Jeffrey Open Trail, a small park just a mile away from their apartment. Jarryd and Chelsea are very athletic—he's actually hoping and planning on opening his very own gym! And as you'll see Jarryd is quite proud of his lady's guns! Enough jabbering
Rachel’s 32 Week Maternity Princess Portraits at Disneyland
When Rachel found out she was having a baby girl, we went right to work planning a dream of a princess fairytale baby shower. But first, Rachel having a baby just meant a few more photo shoots to plan as well. Our goal was to shoot around the castle to go with the fairytale baby shower that was coming up so that we could frame and display these photos as part of the decorations. You already got a glimpse of the mama to be in her 26th week, but here she is at week 32, with her beau Kyle in tow. And as an added bonus to the day, Jessica from J. Rose Photography tagged along with us. She took this first set of photos below
Kristie, College Senior at San Marcos, Portraits in Menifee Fields
Do you have those people in your life who feel as though they have always been a part of your life? Where you can never remember a time that you didn't know them. That's how I feel about the Thompson family
Ali and Amy, Cal State Fullerton Best Friends, College Senior Portraits in Downtown Fullerton
Can I just say I wish my best buddy in college and I would have taken senior photos together! Because these two CSUF-soon-to-be-graduates were just too much fun! Ali and Amy met while attending Cal State Fullerton and their friendship started from being the two quirkiest honor students and only grew from there over these last few years. We started out in Downtown Fullerton, stopping at the cutest apartment complex ever, then at a church, and then walked the alleys between the shops along with one last pitstop at a park to fit in some greenery. Ending our night back on the campus where it all began
Rachel’s 26 Week Maternity, Menifee Fields and Trees
The day was planned as an evening in to craft for Rachel's May baby shower (themed fairytale storybook), but we of course couldn't resist the backwoods of Menifee and the sprawling fields that are just minutes away from the Baby Shower Crafting Center—i.e. my house. :) So this is the results of the question "wanna do a quick 10 minute mini shoot before we start crafting the night away?" Rachel is only 26 weeks here in these photos, we plan to take the "real" photos next month
