Melinda, Justin & Briana

Briana Lexi Carlson was brought into this world on December 19th, 2007 and she is the most beautiful niece anyone could ever ask for. I can't believe she is almost 8 months now! She has the biggest blue eyes and most gorgeous blonde hair!! Isn't she adorable??~!

I had a blast with my sister Melinda and Justin AND got to spend quality time with my niece. Briana was a trooper and gave me quite a few good smiles over two days of shooting :D

This is just the beginning and I can't wait to capture her growing up!

Nicolette and Johnny 06.29.08

Nicolette and Johnny hit it off the second they met on my birthday back in November 2007. They both have such great strong personalities AND are a sight for sore eyes ;D

This was probably one of my most favourite Wedding Shoots and I believe the photo's speak for themselves.

Jens and Kareem

Both Jens and Kareem definitely made my job easy. Their humorous and fun personalities were so easy to capture! Kareem proposed to Jens at a winery in Napa, CA, so they thought it would be fun to re-create that beautiful atomosphere for their Engagement Photo's. They chose the beautiful Wente Vineyards in Livermore, CA.

The weather could NOT have been more perfect. We spent the morning snapping away and then finished off the afternoon sipping wine outside the Wente Restaurant.

Beautiful day for such beautiful spirits and I wish them a wonderful wedding in Hawaii in February of 2009! (here are a few highlights of our afternoon)

:D

New Project

In just a few weeks Grant and I will finally be moving into our own apartment, so I have started early on interior decorating ideas :D

I have decided that from now on, grant and I are going to try to make and design any and all of our art pieces. Why buy them when we are both so artistic?!

I have designed photography decor and I am so excited to get started on it. So this is the beginning of my new project:

Amber and Nick

~Amber and Nick are one of those couple's that you just can't help but tell they are best friends. They have such a long history together and such a deep love. It was an absolute pleasure to be able to capture their crazy spirits.











Melinda, Justin, and baby Briana

~My sister is having a baby! :D

~Baby Briana is due on Christmas Eve and I am so excited to meet my new niece. Here is a photoshoot of the new family.

















The Pease Family Portraits

~This photoshoot was a special thanks to Eric Pease.

~I have been creating and designing my business website for a long time, but didn't have the technical knowledge I needed to create the site. Eric and I spent many hours and many lunch breaks designing my website so this photoshoot was to return the favor.

~I had a blast with your family and you are probably the most good looking family i have ever met! lol!

~Thanks again Eric!













Lindsay's Photoshoot

~Lindsay is one of my best friends and probably the most down to earth person you will ever meet. This photoshoot was a blast because not only did i get to photograph her, but I also did her hair, make-up and clothing also. She was my little barbie doll!! hehe!

~She was nervous at first but she quickly became comfortable and started to let her personality shine through.













Jennifer and Anthony 09.07.07

~This wedding was most unique and I am so thankful I was able to capture their unique personalities. Jennifer and Anthony have such a passion for art and it was absolutely great working with them. These are their wedding photo's along with their Engagement Shoot. Taken all in one day!!!!




















Leanne and Jeremy 06.02.07

~My very first Wedding~

~I had just bought my new camera and was quite nervous, but had a blast! Leanne and Jeremy are so full of love and it is very evident in their photo's. Not many things make me tear up, but their wedding made it very difficult to see through my lense..haha!
