Will + Missy's Wedding {Santa Margarita Ranch}

There really is something beautiful about rain...especially on a wedding day. Sure, there are some logistically issues that have to be handled, but the romantic ambiance that rain brings is unreal. Will and Missy were blessed with this very thing at their wedding on Saturday. I have to admit that I was giggling out loud to myself on the drive to the wedding when it was literally raining cats and dogs and I pulled up to the wedding in my rain boots (yes...rain boots) BUT all it all it was an amazing day. Both Missy and Will clung to the thought that the end goal of the day was to be married so they were troopers for the day. Kayla was her usual amazing associate and provided me an extra set of hands to hold an umbrella while I stood in the rain to capture the day. I can't think of a better way to spend my St. Patricks day than being with this incredible couple...thank you for the joy and blessings to you both!

Ashley's Senior Portraits {Paso Robles}

I forget sometimes how much I enjoy being around teenagers. Hanging out with Ashley was like hanging out with a friend because she was so easy to be around. We crammed in a quick session before the sun set over the hills in Paso and I don't think we could have asked for more beautiful, soft light. Ashley is simply gorgeous so my job was easy. I wish her all the best as she ventures into college...thanks for the privilege of capturing this momentous time!
