.lady in red. {Redding, CA Engagement Photographer}

August 17, 2010 – 2:17 pm

About a year ago Melissa did some modeling for me & had brought this beautiful red dress to the shoot. Knowing she was dating David, and they were pretty serious I asked her to hold the dress for their engagement shoot! I just had this feeling that it would make for the most amazing engagement photos! The dress, along with the beautiful couple, made stunning photos! I couldn’t be more happier! It was such a great shoot! Both David & Melissa were so anticipating the shoot, ready to pose it up, ready to have fun, & willing to try anything! Thank you both for the honor of capturing the magic that you share!!

Through Aleah’s & my e-mail’s about her & David’s mini-engagement session I asked her if she had a theme or something about her wedding that would connect the dots! Aleah said monograms! I did a little “monogram” searching, and thank you internet for the “scrabble” inspiration!!!!!!

So looking forward to your beautiful day– David & Aleah! Congrats! Congrats!!!

.connection. {Redding, CA Wedding Photographer}

May 3, 2010 – 11:05 pm

Over the last several months I have really “felt” being connected vs. not being connected. It is our life: connection. We live for connection. Being aware of my connection with the relationships that I have with people has really been life altering. I have honestly lived with connections being within arms reach. That is changing. Learning connection, living connected, and being a connector!

Photographing Clayton & Lindsay was honestly so special! I witnessed a connection between two people that I have never seen before. I cannot quite describe it, but the connection that they shared was magical!! I am looking forward to capturing their wedding! It is going to be ahhhhmazing!!!!!!

They mentioned loving black & white photos, so hence the black & white!! Oh– and  Kara Stewart  thank you so much for the referral!!!!!

I met Crystal last summer at the Redding Aquatic Center. She was Conner & Kira’s diving instructor! She is AHHHMAZING! I think the kids ended up doing three diving sessions just because they loved Crystal sooo much!!!

This was the fastest engagment session I have ever shot. I think we worked it in about 45 minutes, with two outfit changes!! We did a split photosession. Half engagment & the other half Crystal’s bridesmaids, see post below….I couldn’t be more excited & honored to capture her & Adam’s wedding in 2011!!! She is beyond organized & has an amazing eye & is filled with creativity & fun!! Looking forward to capturing your wedding, Adam & Crystal! Happy Wedding Planning!!!!

.the ladies. {Redding, CA Engagement Photographer}

April 15, 2010 – 12:11 am

This photoshoot ranks one of the scariest photoshoots I have yet experienced!!!! Redding has been seriously RAINY this season, so it seems as though each photoshoot we are trying to escape the rain somehow. It started raining during this photoshoot, so I thought… let’s just shoot under awnings of buildings… We were posing it up & soon enough we were all being chased by a man with a bat yelling the craziest things ever. My heart was LITERALLY beating outside of my chest!! It was crazy!! Thank you Jesus for angels & making it out of there unharmed!!!!!

…Memories, eh!!! Crystal chose to split her engagement session with her fiance & her bridal party! She thought it would be super fun to have a photoshoot with her bff’s & wants to have the cutest pictures on her wedding website!!!!!  These ladies were sooo much fun! I’m looking forward to hanging with them once again at Crystal’s wedding!!!! Girls– It was super fun! Thanks for making it through the cold & rain! You are all STUNNINGLY beautiful & are the best bridesmaids EVER!!!!!!

All the girls make-up was done by the amazing Allison Elliot!

.love is in the air. {Redding, CA Wedding Photographer}

March 22, 2010 – 11:11 am

I know I say this a lot, but the change-up with being a photographer is so much fun! It keeps you constantly on the edge of your seat–keeping up with new ideas & new concepts with each new type of shoot!! Lately, I have been doing a lot of engagement sessions! So much fun! With spring upon us, you can feel love in the air! Truly–some romance is goin’ on!!!!

I met Kelsey last year, about this time, when I photographed a group of graduating dental hygentists. She called me as soon as she got engaged for her October Wedding! I feel so blessed when booking each session—Thank you for booking me!!!!!

 Photographing her & James was the sweetest! We met out at one of their friend houses & just played around with different spots on the property!! I loved every second! It was a blast! They had friends & family watching & cheering them on! Looking forward to your wedding!!!! It’s going to be so beautiful!! Thanks for the fantastic engagement session!

I love hearing every couple’s story. How they met, how destiny brought them together!!!! Katelyn & Kublai met in Mammoth. Katelyn moved down to Mammoth to be close to her best friend, and met the man of her dreams!!! They drove up from Mammoth for their engagement shoot! Luckily, it wasn’t raining, but it was super cold!!! I am looking forward to capturing their special day in Reno, NV in June!!!!! 

Kub is a Fire Fighter in Mammoth, CA and they really wanted some pictures at a fire station. Cullen Kreider, who is a Fire Cheif here in Redding, at Fire Station 8,  let us come in for a few shots!!!!! Thank you, Cullen!!!!!

I am excited to say I am getting more & more caught up everyday!!!! With all of the set backs over the last four months it has felt like I would never get my head up above water!!!! Slowly but surely all is getting done!!! My wedding clients have been beyond patient & understanding! Thanks to each of you! Your love & support has meant so much!!!!!!

So excited to show off this wedding! Thank you, Toledo’s, for the referral! I felt incredibly honored to capture this celebration! I had a blast with my sister, who was my second shooter–thanks Riann–you are amazing!!! It was down in Temecula, CA, on an October day, catered by La Bettola, and created/designed by the Taylors & all of their friends. Everything about this wedding was incredible, however, the tiramisu, was even beyond incredible!!!! It was out of this world!! Ohhhhhh man!!!! 

Thank you, Jonathan & Jessica, for the honor of capturing your wedding. It was simply amazing!!!!!
