Nic & Bri | Portland Wedding Photography

Wow. Just got back from photographing this couple in Portland...pretty much the cutest couple I've ever seen. Look at that darling dress...I had a blast with these two! Thank you, Thank you for letting me come and party!

Everything seemed to go their way that day. The rain that was supposed to come and we were planning for, didn't. About to pay for parking downtown, didn't. (Someone gave us their ticket because they had paid for a full day.) Ate at Noodles & Co. and the girl at the register said, "If I can take your picture I will buy your lunch." Free lunch. Awesome. Tried to sneak onto an old riverboat and when the tour guide came over, we thought we were being booted but he said, "Let me take you up to the captain's cabin..." Well, thank you!

So it was a great day and I can't wait to share the rest!

Oh Happy Day

I hope you all have a very wonderful Easter! God Bless!

All Grown up

These lovely young women go to church with me! I have know many of them since they were just teensy little ones. it's weird that people I used to babysit are graduating, getting married, even having babies! I feel old. And I'm not really.....though my 3 year old son always tells me I am :) These girls are beautiful and I hope they always remember that.

Josh & Kaitlin | Sacramento Engagement Photography

So, it was supposed to rain this day...so said the weatherman...and let me tell you, IT DID. All day it had looked gloomy but no rain until I was leaving my house and it began to POUR. I had the wipers on full blast. But these two had driven up from Stockton and we were going to see what would come of our photos shoot. Amazingly enough, by the time we got to our destinatin the rain had stopped. And there was no rain the entire time!!

Wow. It was awesome...I mean the ground was definitely wet and these guys were troopers hiking up and down slippery rocks nearly falling to their deaths into the torrential waters of the American river...ok I am being dramatic...but they really were awesome and and I think we got some good stuff out of it. All our prayers for good weather were answered :)

Congrats Josh and Kaitlin!

Life is Busy

I've been busy...with just everything lately! I thought I would do better with blogging but yet again I am slacking! I keep thinking, "Oh, once I get past this one thing then I can relax..." Right. The saying, if it's not one thing, it's another...so true. Life doesn't ever seem to slow down. I often feel like John Mayer:

Stop this train
I want to get off and go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't but honestly won't someone stop this train

I especially feel like that sometimes with my kids! Won't someone stop this growing up too fast thing? It is sad to see how fast it goes but exciting all at the same time! I guess we just need to live it up! 

ANYWAY...here are a few things I have been working on...

I was able to take photos for my son's preschool...those kids are SO adorable! The only child who didn't cooperate was my son...imagine that.

Be Inspired

I decided to enter a picture for Jessica Feely's "Be inspired" challenge with the subject being "spring." Here is a recent picture which I just LOVE...I love the green grass poking up through the dead grass and the split-rail fence...and OF COURSE this darling little girl who just turned ONE! She is such a doll.

Spring is in the air!

Even though the trees here have been blooming since February, it is finally starting to feel like SPRING! Though, here in Sacramento that feeling is often short lived, it is amazing while it lasts! I was meandering around my parents yard the other weekend while celebrating my brother's big 3-0 and took these...I bet my mom didn't think she had that many pretty flowers growing in her yard!
