Jessica is a 2012 Senior and going to attended Azusa Pacific University in Azusa , California. She will be majoring in Economics and  on the worship teams & student leadership team:)

CONGRATULATIONS JESSICA!

I’ve known Daryl since High School and we have always stayed in touch since then. He was a link to getting reacquainted with my husband too!

When he introduced us to Becky, I immediately though she was a perfect match for him.

We had a great time during there Engagement session.. even with all the bugs and sticks in the field ! I am more than excited to photograph their wedding in October…

so Stay Tuned!!

The moment I met with Marcelle to go over wedding plans and details, I COULD NOT wait to meet her finance , Thomas, and capture this adorable couple in their engagement session. Thomas works at Longshadow Ranch Vineyard &  Winery in Temecula, CA so we were able to take advantage to the winery.

The day was absolutely beautiful and the lighting couldn’t have been more perfect. As we walked the grounds of the winery, I had such a blast capturing the love and laughter between these two. I can’t wait for all the amazing ideas they have up their sleeves for the wedding!

Luca Paul was born on October 1st, weighed 8lbs 11oz 20.75 in…. this champ has grown so much since then and is such a precious little boy. His parents, Amoreena & Jon, did such a beautiful job decorating his nursery. I just had to highlight all the details.

Jon is a major Giants fan, so he has started his influence at this early age…. no Dodger or Angel fans in this household!!!

CONGRATULATIONS FIDANI FAMILY!!!

Emily was an old co-worker of mine for another photography company a couple years back. We have kept in contact though the years . She has assisted me in weddings  and we have assisted other photographers together.  Anyway, I was honored to be one of the photographers to capture her wedding. Emily looked absolutely stunning on her special day!

Congratulations Emily  and  Daryl!

Staci & Tim were definitely one of the MOST casual clients I’ve ever had. I was so excited to be part of their day.  There were weather predictions of thunderstorms all week . This made for a very worried bride . But with the work of Theresa Belling with Dream Weddings Happen, everything came together so beautifully …. and it never rained!

Thank you also to my assistant Lis Fonseca with Shea Photography.It’s always great working with you.

CONGRATULATIONS STACI & TIM LEE!!

Last September I was contacted by Zach to take photos of him proposing to Jessica. What a special day that was. Now about a year later Jessica & Zach got married. It was a perfect day in Las Vegas, NV and I was beyond honored to be there to capture this blessed day.  Congratulations Zach & Jessica….

When I received the phone call to take family photos of the Hanson family, I was so honored and excited! Bret & Rosemarie are related through my brother in-law. They are missionaries in Nairobi, Kenya and are here in CA for about a year. They have NEVER had a family photo taken… ever, so I was up for the challenge. We had such a blast running around Riverside and had to make it into Casey’s Cupcakes Shop!

Leslie & Anthony are one of the  sweetest couples. I was referred to them by a high school friend and I’m really excited to capture there love for each other this weekend!!

When I got the message from Amanda, I was so excited to  hear from her and also to take her precious daughter, Hailey Quinn, newborn session. See, Amanda and I went to elementary school together and Jr. High. We both also used to ice skate and did so at the same rink. Over 25 years later we reconnect through Facebook!

Here is Amanda’s experience with pregnancy.

Brian and I knew from the beginning that having a family was really important to us. We had been married about a year and a half when we found out I was pregnant and we couldn’t have been more excited. I had a bit of a rough start with my pregnancy since we went on a cruise that we had been planning right about the time my morning sickness kicked in. Rough seas and an increase in hormones made for a very long and nauseating week! I never wanted a vacation to be over more than I did that one! Aside from that, I was very lucky to have a healthy and uneventful pregnancy. The hardest part was just waiting to meet our beautiful baby girl. My most favorite time with her is snuggling her to sleep on my chest. I could sit and watch her snooze peacefully all day long. She is such an amazing blessing in our lives.
