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!

Associate Kayla: Chris + Leigh {San Luis Obispo}

Every year Kayla has the honor of capturing this beautiful, fun-loving couple. Kayla's amazing eye for color and light popped through on this shoot with Chris and Leigh. It is going to be another fantastic wedding season with Kayla and we both look forward to working with all our clients in 2012.

Robert + Jillian's Engagements {Meadow Park}

No rain! I had the joy of meeting up with Robert and Jillian again yesterday since we were rained out of their initial engagement shoot. Jillian asked to use Meadow Park for the session and I have to admit it was good to be back there. I have not been at Meadow Park in years and I found myself smiling for various memories I had there...one in particular: celebrating my husband's 25th birthday with a kickball/hotdog extravaganza party. Good memories! All in all, I enjoyed my time with Robert and Jillian and soaked in the beautiful weather in San Luis Obispo.

Jake + Haley's Wedding {Taft Ranch}

I have to blame the mass amount of images being posted on the fact that this is my first wedding for 2012...and also because this wedding was just perfect. With beautiful worship songs before Haley walked down the aisle to Bremen Town the folk/bluegrass band playing the reception away, Jake and Haley truly had a celebration that fit their personalities. As always, Jenn with Allure Event Designs and Gayle with Trumpet Vine Catering ensured the wedding was flawless from start to finished. How I love weddings like this!
