Brent’s parents live minutes from the beach…
this beach.
So, whenever we’re down, we try to go…like once a day! I’m not a huge fan of getting dirty and sandy, but it sure it pretty to look at! So, this time I brought my camera and had fun taking pictures of everyone ELSE getting dirty and sandy.
Nana tells the kids they can get "finger hugs" from the sea anemones…hence the pointed fingers!
Here’s a few of the fam:

We spent last weekend in Southern CA with family. It was nice relaxing and soaking up the sun…well, there wasn’t a lot of it, but when it came out it was nice!
There were trips to the duck pond, the aquarium and the donut shop…I’ll post more later.
For now, here are a few close ups…

The weekend before last I had the chance to photograph a wonderful family and their dog Lucy. Here are a few of my favorites from their session:
I love this mother/daughter shot…
At the end of the session, Mom and Dad let me take the kids to the playground. I love these candid shots…they actually ended up being some of my favorites overall.
Thanks Jullien family! I had fun hanging out with you!

To finish up my post on the adorable family I photographed this weekend…
We met at the beach and the skies couldn’t be bluer! 
My camera bag was full of goodies, so at one point we took out the bubbles. 🙂
A super sweet mommy and daughter moment…
And of course a moment with daddy too…
Thanks Drake family! I had fun spending my Saturday afternoon with you!

Today the preschool had a "Play Day." The teachers did such a great job putting together games and tons of fun activities for the preschoolers and their siblings.
Our first stop was a cooking making station. 
Next we did face painting. Jillian ran into her little friend, Mia, whose face was painted like a tiger. She decided she needed to be a tiger too. 🙂
Here’s a picture of Jake with his face painted…
It was a fun afternoon. I’m going later to the beach for a photo session, so I’ll be posting those pictures soon!

We started out the day at the chapel, taking pictures of the wedding party getting all gussied up. The guys room had these really cool checkers on the ceiling.
I love this shot of the bouquet being handed to Robbin while she was getting ready.
This was their first site…it was so sweet…they were just so excited to see each other, sun was streaming through the windows. It was beautiful!
The mansion grounds had all these gorgeous little alcoves, so we grabbed Robbin and Jason for a few minutes to take pictures.
I love grungy backgrounds as much as I love lush garden backgrounds. So…when we spotted this storage container behind the gardens, we took the girls back for some pictures. One lady even stopped us to tell us there were much better places to take pictures! I guess she didn’t have our vision. 🙂
This last pictures is especially meaningful because Robbin’s father has passed away. She is very close with her twin brothers (at the end) who walked her down the aisle. I love the way they are looking at her in this picture.
I loved being able to do this wedding with Shannon of Madison Ave Photography. We sat at BJ’s after the wedding looking at each other pictures and enjoying how we each got such different points of view. Shannon-thanks for letting me shoot with you! Robbin and Jason-thanks so much for letting me be part of your day! I hope you are having a fabulous honeymoon in Hawaii!

Robbin and Jason’s wedding was amazing…beautiful people in a beautiful location. Plus I got to shoot the wedding with the insanely talented Shannon . What a fun experience!
I’m off to scout some parks for a photo session this weekend, so I’ll just show my favorite photo of Robbin getting ready. More to come soon!

Last weekend I got the chance to photograph a wedding with my amazing friend and mentor, Shannon. Before the big day we were able to do a practice bridal session with our gorgeous friend Rachel. She was the perfect model and took directions from two bossy photographers. 🙂
I’ll share more on the wedding later, but for now…here are some shots of Rachel.
Thanks to both of you!!

…for buying this jacket just so I could take pictures of Jillian in it? 🙂 I saw this at Baby Gap last week and fell in love with it. It WAS on sale…but Jillian really doesn’t need any more clothes. The photographer in me (and the clothes addict) won out.
