Ashley and Chris are one seriously delightful couple. Both are teachers (bless them!) and both are just a whole lot of fun. We met up with these two last week for their engagement session in Old Sacramento. The weather was dry, but the sky turned pretty dramatic at the end of our shoot, so of course we had to rock that out. It was a lovely afternoon spent with these two cuties.

Despite the cold and the darkness that descended on us super quickly, Ashley and Chris rocked their esession and made me SO excited for there wedding this June. I can’t wait! Check out more of their extremely adorable session in their SLIDESHOW HERE or in the box below.

I’ve known Amber and Sam for a long time. In fact, I knew them before they WERE Amber AND Sam… just when Amber was Amber and Sam was Sam. But, I must say, that since the “and” has come into their lives things have been pretty fantastic. Once upon a time when I worked in an office we all worked together. And after I left to become a full time photographer I was blessed to still keep in touch with a lot of the people I’d worked with. Many of them were so incredibly supportive of my decision to follow my dream, and of my supporters Amber and Sam were among the biggest. So, when they told me they were getting married in December I told them I didn’t care that I was already sold out for 2009 and that I don’t normally shoot in December. I told them I was their photographer and there was nothing they could do about it. I am so grateful to them for being so gracious and letting me bully them into my services. I mean, hello! They are incredibly adorable right?

Amber’s super cute son, Tsi, joined us at the beginning of our shoot so we could rock out some pictures with him as well. Seriously, could he be any more handsome? I just want to take him home in my pocket!

And then it was time to focus on our happy couple. I can’t even put into words how much joy I have from being a part of this wedding. Never have I known two more centered people, who are so happy and so deeply in love. They bring out the very best in each other and it is a blessing to be able to witness it.

Amber and Sam, I ADORE YOU! You are my very own Jim and Pam. Thank you for letting me be a part of this incredibly beautiful time in your lives. I can’t wait for your wedding!!! I can’t think of a better way to end 2009. Check out more images of this beautiful couple in their SLIDESHOW HERE or in the box below.

Dustin and I had the great pleasure of photographing Jennifer and Josh in San Francisco a couple weeks ago. Jennifer and I are soul sisters. When we first met, she was coming to Sac to go to the Britney concert. Yeah… SOUL MATES! Our love of pop music, makeup and all things pink and orange sealed the deal. Then, I met Josh! HELLO HANDSOME! As if Jenny could have made this photographing her wedding deal any sweeter! It was so fun hanging out with this beautiful pair and taking their engagement pictures.

After cruising around the streets a little bit, we headed over to Baker Beach. Of course, it was one of the most beautiful days I’ve ever had the pleasure of be a part of in San Francisco, but the Golden Gate Bridge was completely engulfed in fog! We didn’t let that put a damper on us though… we rocked out some fun pictures on the beach.

Thanks to Jenny and Josh for a rockin’ session! We can’t wait for your wedding in October! It’s going to be FABULOUS! Check out the SLIDESHOW HERE or in the box below for more pictures of this perfect pair.

Hey, you guys! I’m back from the East Coast and I have been so freaking crazy busy that I haven’t been able to blog all the radical things I want to blog. I have SO MUCH TO BLOG! But, I really wanted to share a few of the images I shot with the lovely, talented and oft hilarious Gwyneth Colleen whilst I was in New England. My red eye flight was delayed for 3 hours, so I got into Boston about 1pm and um, I was not cute. People who are cute after a million hour long flight across the country make me really jealous… and a little sad. Anyhow, I had no makeup on (anyone who knows me knows this is just something I don’t do often) and short hair after long flight is never a good thing. No matter, Gwyn had a shoot and I had cameras so off we went with her being adorable and me being kinda gross. Good times.

But then Gwyn took me to Taco Loco and the food was good and I was refreshed, and then she took me to the loveliest bunker on all of the Maine seaboard! Who would have thought that a bunker could be such a gold mine of photographic wonders! I had such fun shooting this beautiful couple with such a cool person as Gwyn. Really… could they be cuter? I mean they look this awesome even though there was so much humidity I thought I was drowning! I can never thank Gwyn enough for not photographing me… really… never!

There are lots more images to share from my time in New England and hopefully I will get that done soon. I seriously can’t thank Gwyn enough for being the hostess with the mostest. There will be much blogging soon! I also have pictures from our Seattle Trip and my pre-birthday celebration with my cute sister! Not to mention weddings and eSessions and family shoots OH MY! Stay tuned! There is LOTS more to come.
