.sweetest friends. {Redding, CA Child Photographer}

May 26, 2010 – 12:02 am

Pink is still the #1 choice pettiskirt to wear!! It’s the magic!!!! This shoot turned out extra special!!! I have to give a shout out  to Brittnay who scheduled a shoot to capture a friendship that her daughter has had since both of the girls were really little!!! A priceless shoot! It was quite busy, I have to admit, but I couldn’t be more happier with how the images turned out. Magical sparkles filled their eyes as they put on the twirly skirts!!! As a photographer I love the moment I pull out the pettiskirts & the little girls wear them for the first time!!!! The twirl, the whimsy, the delight, magic!  Even in the blur there is still so much meaning!!!!!!

Capturing other photographers, or other photographers kids/family, etc..  is always such an honor. It is a little bit nerve-racking, but always such an privilege!!! Last week I captured the sweetest little girl & didn’t even realize that her birthday was coming so soon, in fact, TODAY!!!! Happy Birthday sweet, Bella!! Thank you, Leah, for the honor of capturing her!!!! It truly means sooo much!!!! Be sure to check out Leah’s work! It is phenomenal!!!!!!

. P I N K. {Kaiya Eve Pettiskirts}

March 11, 2010 – 8:43 am

People often ask me if I ever get tired of photographing little girls in pettiskirts, particularly the P I N K one!  I smile, and think of the recation that I get to enjoy everytime I get to watch, as she puts on a pettiskirt for the first time, and I answer, “No! It’s one of my favorite times to photograph, because each time a pettiskirt is worn, she feels like a princess. She feels like she is in a magical land & has sparkles all over! The biggest smile ever comes along, and twinkles are in her eyes!!!! I sometimes tear up because it is so precious!!!!!! So,  bring on the pettiskirts! They are magic!

If your little girl has never worn a pettiskirt, give me a call, let’s book her Kaiya Eve Pettiskirt Session TODAY!!!!!!

So enjoyed this little “mini” session with Ruby & Grady! They were absolutely the most adorable kids! Grady named this little pink car “Hudson” for me!!!!! He thought it was pretty cool to get to drive his sister around in it!!! Yeah for the AHHHHHHHH moments in our lives!!!

.ingamae. {Redding, CA Portrait Photographer}

March 7, 2010 – 12:09 am

I belong to an on-line community called, BeenUp2. It is a super fun place. You post pictures throughout your day of, “what you’ve BeenUp2,” and people comment, etc. It’s fun. I met Ingamae on Beenup2 about two years ago. She was coming up to Redding for a conference, and posted on BeenUp2 that she needed a place to stay! I was on-line when she made the comment, and invited her to stay with us! It was magical meeting Ingamae! She was as joyful & happy as she seemed on-line, and our family welcomed her right away!

About a year ago, or so, Inga moved to Redding! We have so loved getting to know her more! She has been such an encourager to my life & to my family’s life! She has been a cheerleader, cheering us on! She has been a, “go to church tonight,” I’ll watch the kids friend! She has been a chips & hummus friend! A show up at my doorstep with a Refresh Misto Latte friend! I love you, Inga! Thanks for being who you are, for loving people, and for giving so much joy, hope, love to everyone that you meet!!! You are a treasure!!!!

She hung out with us today, & as we were outside chatting,  I knew I had to capture my Ingamae. The light was magically covering her– it was a perfect moment for some pics!!!!

–be careful– she might just be taking a picture of Y-O-U!

Favorite Thing #13

December 14, 2008 – 9:02 pm

Where oh where does the time go! We have been crazy busy this weekend with our school musical, Ciella! It was incredible! I am blown away every year with the program that they do. From dancing to drama, AMAZING!

Favorite Thing #13 are PETTISKIRTS! I love them. I love to see little girls light up when they put the pettiskirts on & when they twirl & spin & jump up & down with excitement! It is the greatest joy! Love it! Even love mom’s reaction!!! It is priceless! From tears to smiles, there is nothing like seeing a pettiskirt on a little girl for the first time!!!!

Recently I was hired by Kandi of Kaiya Eve Couture, www.kaiyaeve.com, to shoot some of the Spring 09 Line! It was an incredible experience, a bit intense with many photo shoots & in the meantime of all the shooting my camera broke, so it was crazy, but I will never forget it & feel so honored that Kandi would hire me to take pictures of her beautiful pettiskirts & designs!
