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!!!

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!!!

.luke + marche’ = stunning!. {Redding, CA Wedding Photographer}

July 2, 2010 – 4:07 pm

I was so thrilled to capture Luke & Marche`s wedding, with my husband right along side! It was absolutely incredible! The ceremony was held up in Mt. Shasta at a quaint little church, Hope Community Church, & the reception was in McLoud at the Mercantile. It was incredible! The wedding was coordinated by the AHHMAZING Gwen Edwardson! From top to bottom she made sure everything was taken care of! She pulled off the wedding with much success!! Sean Gafner catered the event, and let me tell you, it was TASTY!!! The flowers were arranged beautifully by Terri Barr . The reception was a blast with music by Ray Pettengell. To top it off, Ron Loos drove them to the reception in his stunning vintage car!!!

Thank you, Luke & Marche’ for the honor of capturing your most beautiful day!!!! & Marche’, yes, “we’re sisters!” LOL!

Luke & Marche’ chose to see each other before the wedding! It was magical!!

This next one was taken by my husband, and becoming my most incredible assistant! I love how he captured the light & the moment here!

.simply inspired by jasmine star.

June 25, 2010 – 9:12 am

Just over eight months ago I was just about ready to head down to L.A. to attend a Jasmine Star Workshop, but with some unfortunate news I had to cancel! I was very heart-broken, and could only hope that I would be able to make it into her workshop again (it books out super fast)! Six months to the day that I had received this news I registered to attend a Jasmine Star Workshop!! It was a dream come true!!!

I have to admit I was a little bit star struck! We had a little mixer the night before & when she walked in, I had to pinch myself! About half-way through the meal she came to the other side of the table & sat next to me. Okay, my heart was beating so loudly that room probably heard it! I had to keep telling myself to breath! LOL! Funniest part, though, she spilled her water all over my lap! (Probably from all of my nerves, sorry Jasmine!!!! ) Never gonna wash those jeans again.. haha!

Waking up to little birds chirping, I knew it was going to be the best day! I was beyond inspired throughout the day! Not only by her, but by the other photographers that attended! I felt so blessed to have met so many amazing people!

Simply impressed by all of the sweet details! I am a “details” kind of a girl, so the details meant so much!!! Jasmine personally wrote each attendee from her workshop a note, yep, she’s amazing!

The models, Joe & Jihan Cerda, were beyond stunning! Vivan from All Made Up did Jihan’s hair & make-up, & WHOA! Absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!! Dreamy!

I was so in awe of their beauty! I didn’t shoot a ton, as I just was taking it all in. Jasmine really had me thinking… What defines me? Why I am shooting what I shoot? Does it represent my brand? I love the challenge that she left me with!!!!

Floral designs by JL Designs! Absolutely stunning!!!!

and of course had to take one of Jasmine in action! Watching her was just as inspiring as listening to her! She is so real and so open! I flew away from this workshop beyond happy & beyond ready to soar to higher heights!!!! Thank you, Jasmine Star for your amazingness!!! & for giving me courage to be a better me! You are so amazing! Also- have to say thanks to JD, both he & Jasmine put on a spectacular workshop!!!!!!!

June 24, 2010 – 2:34 pm

Yesterday I returned from an amazing trip to L.A & also my sister & her husband arrived for three days, as they are soon moving to Virginia! Trying to plan everything out, so I could mesh back into the flow of mommy, wife, and host, peacefully, thought a BBQ at the lake would be fun!!! We packed everything up & headed to Whiskeytown Lake, about five miles out of Redding. It was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! The kids LOVED it! We had the best time!

I also must mention that my sister is pretty much all three of my kids FAVORITE person on the planet!!! She rocks.com! My house is buzzing with happiness as we visit with Riann & John!!!! Tonight we are having a “couples” date!!! Woot! Woot!

How I love my sister!!! We’ve both never really liked having our pics taken, but she let me snap a few of her!!!!… Thanks, girl!! You are beautiful!

Sliders are our new favorite way to make hamburgers!!! The “mini-burger!” Yummmmmm!!!

Auntie & the girls found Puff-Balls!!!!!! AHHH! How beautiful they are right now!!!

Making a wish….
