So, as many of you know I’m heading off for a week long vacation with my adorable family. I am SO FREAKING EXCITED I CAN’T STAND IT! We are taking LJ to Disneyland for the first time and I seriously feel like a kid at Christmas. I am so excited for her to see all the things she loves so much! This is more exciting to me than my OWN first Disneyland experience. It’s going to be awesome and I just can’t wait. Of course, getting ready to go on vacation is a job itself. I’ve been pulling a lot of late nights trying to get everything done before we leave. Sadly, I shot more than I could edit in such a shot amount of time and won’t be able to get everyone their entire collections before we leave. I do however have some sneak peeks for you!

I can’t properly express how much I love this picture… like I think it should be a canvas in the studio. Don’t you think so too?

Thanks to my awesome clients for being so patient. Being creative EVERY SINGLE DAY is so much harder than I ever thought it could be. Doing what I love is such a blessing, but it is definitely hard work and I am so happy to be having a little time off to recharge my batteries and spend some time with my family. I feel so blessed to have such a supportive husband and such a delightful daughter. I am just going to bask in the light they give me for the next week. Thank you all for everything! Have a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving with your families! Please remember emails and phone calls will not be returned until November 30th. Happy Thanksgiving!

The Seo family is one dang cute bunch. Two rambunctious boys and two adorable parents make for some super fun pictures. Especially when there is ice cream at the end of the shoot.

One of the even more awesome things about this family is how they got their session by supporting their schools PTA. My BFF Jill has two lovely daughters and I am their fairy godmother. So, being a good fairy godmother means donating to their schools. It was fun to hear all about the bidding war! But I’m so thrilled this family won. They were so fun!

Thank you awesome Seo family for a rockin’ shoot and for supporting the PTA! You guys are the best!

Marianne and Garrett are just one of the most wonderful couples we’ve ever worked with. They are SO in love, and SO perfect together! I felt like all the stars aligned for their wedding day and everything just turned out beautifully. Marianne is SUCH a beauty! It was a joy photographing her.

When a bride gets a little blue box from her groom you KNOW it’s going to a REALLY good wedding.

When I was going through editing the images Dustin took of Garrett and his guys getting ready all I could think was, “OH MY GOSH! That looks like so much fun!” Garrett is one of the best grooms ever! He was totally present for his pictures and just rocked everything out. He gets a gold star from SMP.

Then it was time to get these two all married and stuff.

I love this shot Dustin got of their first kiss… so tender!

And I love the post ceremony high fives and hugs.

Then it was time for some couple snuggle time pictures.

Then we were off to Scott’s Seafood Restaurant for their beautiful reception. All of the details of the wedding were so beautiful.

Then is was party time. And what a party it was. Marianne and Garrett are LOVED. From the beautiful toasts to the dancing it was just jam packed with love for this beautiful couple. It was such a joy to be a part of.

Marianne and Garrett THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for letting us witness your lovely wedding! You guys are just awesome and we adore you! Check out the SLIDESHOW HERE or in the box below for more of this delightful wedding.
