Hello My Blog Readers! I am home from Ireland, and our annual family tradition, the Scottish Games held every year in Pleasanton, CA over Labor Day weekend. I took lots of pics, so I’ll hopefully be sharing those!!!! I have literally hit the ground running since returning from Ireland!! Thank you all for your patience!
Today I captured Jo from West Valley! It was a windy session, but oh so lovely! I haven’t photographed so early in a bit & enjoyed working with the morning light!!! Jo is a Volleyball Player from West Valley High School & is so far really enjoying her Senior Year!! Thank you for the great session, Jo!!! You are absolutely stunning!!! Best wishes in all you pursue!!!!

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!!
I cannot say ENOUGH about the amazing children’s & now mommy line, Matilda Jane! One of my dear friends, here in Redding, is now a Trunk Keeper for Matilda Jane, Keri Grauel! If you are interested in purchasing anything, or even hosting a Matilda Jane Trunk Show shoot her an e-mail!!! You will not be disappointed in this line! It is absolutely incredible!
I had a little mini-shoot with Keri’s daughter! She was a little shy in front of the camera, but when my daughter, Kira, who joined me on the shoot, started being a little fishy, Finnley warmed up & gave us a few smiles!!!!
Hello class of 2011!!! I love the sound of that, 2011! I wish I was graduating in 2011, it sounds much better than 1994!!!!! Okay, just admitted I am really OLD! Yesterday I photographed my FIRST 2011 Senior!! Miss Amanda! We had a great adventure of a photo shoot!
We started out at the Cascade, perfect place to meet, & come to find out her Grandfather helped build the Cascade Theatre!! We ventured through Redding, up until the sunset! It was a great way to start my Senior Sessions!!!
If you are a Senior & need to book a session, e-mail me today to set something up!!!! Happy 2011!! Best wishes, Amanda! Hope you have the best year EVER!

Good-bye’s are always sad, but new beginnings are always so beautiful! The Lynn Family have been incredible clients of mine, & yesterday we had a “for the last time in Redding” session! They are getting ready to move up north, and as sad as I am to see them go, I am so happy for the new adventures in their lives!!! We had a sweet session. Avagail is definitely busier than all of her photo shoots, but OMG! She is just as cute as ever!!! I’ll miss you, Lynn Family! When you come visit Redding be sure to give me a call!!!
