Spencer & Rachel

What a beautiful couple and wonderful day! The day before, we all ran out and bought huge umbrellas, reception tents and mud boots..it was pouring and threatening to continue through the picturesque outdoor wedding Rachel and Spencer had planned. Luckily, the sun came out right before the ceremony and we had a gorgeous day...although I was a little disappointed not to be able to use my cool new polka dot umbrella :). I've had a great time working with this couple and the wedding day was even better! Their family and guests were all so friendly and fun, my team and I didn't want to leave :) Rachel and Spencer are absolutely gorgeous together and so full of love for each other...I really was honored to get to capture this day for them.

Thank you, Rachel and Spencer...enjoy your show! To view larger, click HERE

MaBelleLune Pregnancy Resource Directory

Another thing I love! I just picked up the 08-09 copy at my favorite coffee place (shhh...don't tell my midwife I had a latte this morning :) and highly recommend it to anyone expecting. It's got a great pregnancy journal/calender and is full of wonderful local resources for us preggos...from Acupuncture to Massage to Photography :) You can check out their site HERE

Adorable Jake

This little guy was more intrigued by my camera than any other child I've worked with. I got there right as it was time for him to wake up and he was such a sweet little cuddler, I had to take a couple shots. As soon as he heard my shutter, he spun around and from that point on, thought my camera was the coolest thing in the world. It was great! I had such a wonderful time with this family. We got to hang out at Jake's grandparents home and the family winery, Arista, which was absolutely beautiful and full of fun toys (the home, not the winery ;)...although they did have a pretty cool Alligator.). You can tell that they all really enjoy each other and there's nothing better than that!

Enjoy the show!

Is He One Already?

I've been photographing little Ryan and his family since he was still in his mommies belly. I can't believe how fast the year went and that we've already used all their sessions. I always have so much fun with these guys. Ryan's little personality is really coming out and he is a busy little guy! I think the pumpkin was a hit...he couldn't think about anything else...until we brought out the bubbles :) I can't wait until they have another little one so we can do it all over again!

Enjoy the show!

Teapot Parties & Children's Boutique

I honestly don't think I could love this store more! If you haven't yet been, it's this sweet and fun wonderland full of toys, books and cozy clothes. They also have this absolutely beautiful room upstairs for whimsical tea parties. They even have little dress up outfits so the party guests can be all frilly with white gloves or perfectly in character with Mad Hatter costumes. They even offer a super cool photographer to capture your party images ;) Check out the slide show by clicking on the last picture below. I can't wait until my daughter's birthday next year because she is definitely getting a Woodland Whimsy Tea party :) You can check out their site HERE you can check out their lovely store and party spot in downtown Santa Rosa on 4th st. in Railroad Square. While you're there, look up...you may see someone you know :)

Kelly and Rich

Probably the sweetest, most laid back couple ever! These two were so easy to work with and so full of love for each other. Kelly was beaming the whole day and I absolutely love all the images I captured of her... I don't think she could've been any happier! This couple once again showed me that my favorite time of any wedding day is the couple's portraits. After the ceremony's over and I get to move the couple away from all the guests, they finally get to relax and just enjoy actually being married. Kelly and Rich both just lit up during this time and the images are gorgeous!

Thank you both so much for having me be a part of your wonderful day! To view show larger, click HERE
