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!!!

.life is beautiful. {Redding, CA Family Photographer}

I was so honored to capture the entire Shoffner Family! It was the easiest photo shoot of a family of FOURTEEN that I have ever had. The connection between this family was incredible! It was so delightful to watch everyone laughing together & loving each other!!! Thank you, Shoffner’s for having me capture your family!

This shot makes me so happy! I could hear everyone behind me & had to capture the joy!!!

and because they had so many cheering them on…..

.and she turned eight today. {Redding, CA Photographer}

My middle child, Kira, turned eight today. It is so crazy hard to believe that she is EIGHT! AHHHH! It truly does go by too fast. My mom is always telling me to take in every moment because it just is gone before you know it. Some phases seem like they take forever, but I just shake my head in amazement at how fast it does go by. Just yesterday her & I were snuggled up in a hospital room & I was in awe because I had a little girl!!

Kira is such a fun girl! I have always loved her spunky personality & how she truly enjoys every second..(most of the time).  She is such a delight! Such a wonderful gift!

She went to one of her friends LIMO RIDE  birthday party yesterday & had to dress up, so HAD to snap a few pics of her before the party…. Today was super rainy, soooo I was happy that we took pics yesterday, BUT, she looks a little more 15 & not 8!!

Happy Birthday Kira!!! I love you!!!!!

.Cutest Babies Ever. {Redding, CA Child Photographer}

Last week I had a few adorable babies over to photograph & my oh my were they the CUTEST!!!! They were both almost 10 months, so happy & curious! Mr. “O” was just adorable!!!! So full of smiles!

.happiness is an inside job. {Redding, CA Photographer}

A few weeks ago, Jauquin Evans, a pastor in our church, told a story about a business man who had flown miles to get counseling & when he had gotten to the counselor, the meeting started, the  counselor said, “Happiness is an inside job.” The man got up & said,  ”That’s all I needed…thanks!”  That story has literally rocked my world! That phrase has been going over & over in my mind!!!!

To the point–I have been taking pictures now for over a year & it is really interesting because with every photo session, looking into many eyes….& into the soul, I have seen & felt a lot over & in many people! Yesterday I had a photoshoot with a sweet friend of mine & looking deep into her soul I could feel “happy”. She was happy on the inside & oh how I could feel it! Happiness is an inside job! Love you, Netty! Thanks for your happiness!!!!!

 

.Seiji & Emily. {Redding, CA Wedding Photographer}

Ohhhh Weddings! I am continually so honored when a bride & groom choose me as their wedding photographer. It brings tears to my eyes just thinking of being chosen. It really is an honor to be apart of their special day & to go down in history as their “photographer”.

Seiji & Emily’s wedding was just incredibly beautiful! It was held at Mercy Oaks & we shot the bridal party of TWENTY, yes TWENTY on East Street! I am wrapping the wedding up this week. With the Christmas Rush, I just haven’t had a chance to get through it, soooo YEAH! (thanks guys for your patience & grace!!! ) Happy Weddings!!!!
