Zach's Seniors {Adelaida Cellars}

Yesterday I was privileged to captured Zach's senior portraits at Adelaida Cellars in Paso Robles. I was blown away with how easy he made our time as well as the sheer beauty that surrounded us. The property at Adelaida Cellars was one of the most breathtaking views of Paso Robles I have ever experienced. Using all the elements provided on top of the hill, we had incredible backgrounds for his pictures...here is just a small snippet. Thanks, "Harvard"!

Joseph + Shireen's Wedding {Monarch Club}

Wednesday, September 28, 2011

Beautiful, witty and personable...the three words that pop into my mind when I think of Joseph and Shireen. What a couple! They both have a personality that draws people in and makes you feel instantly welcomed. Their wedding was nothing less than incredible and it was a true joy to capture this celebration at the Monarch Club. Shireen was breathtaking in an effortless, timeless way and Joseph was a glowing husband-to-be. The lighting at the Monarch Club provided a spectacular backdrop for the day and I was thrilled to venture into the talk eucalyptus trees for the couple shots...happy photographer.

Raja + Laurel {Atascadero}

Monday, September 26, 2011

I love capturing the waiting anticipation of parents-to-be! Raja and Laurel were such an easygoing and fun couple to be around last week. Laurel definitely has the "mom glow" and I am excited for them both to meet their little one in less than 2 short weeks. Congratulations to you both!

Olmstead Family {Atascadero}

Friday, September 23, 2011

"Wow, there is my friend Kate! Look at her beautiful books, Mom!" ...my sweet Addie's words when she saw me edit these pictures. I had the joy of capturing one of Addie's dear friend's family pictures yesterday. Could they be a cuter family?! I have loved getting to know them all more and more and look forward to the years to come.

Goff Family {Atascadero}

Thursday, September 22, 2011

I met Desiree many years ago before we both stepped into the parent world...what a treat for me to see her now in a happy marriage with 2 beautiful boys! She glowed while loving on her boys, especially while cuddling close to her husband Jeremy. We all laughed a bit and the words, "this is our crazy life" were said many times but I don't think anything could be better. What an amazing family!
