Associate Melodee: Luis & Jael Engagements {Halter Ranch}

I love being with couples that laugh together and just enjoy "being" with each other...this is definitely Luis and Jael. I joined them as they celebrated their wedding week with wine tasting at Halter Ranch. It was easy to snap beautiful pictures of this couple as they interacted. They are not only gorgeous but full of life and love. We ended our shoot with a quick group photo of all their friends and family. They are truly surrounded by love. Needless to say, it's an honor to capture this moment of their wedding journey. Cheers!

Associate Melodee: Matt + Lauren's Engagements {Halter Ranch}

Matt and Lauren were blessed with a beautiful day at Halter Ranch Winery. As we explored the beautiful grounds, I snapped photos of their friendship, their love, and their carefree attitude. Lauren has an effortless beauty that is inviting and Matt is what I would call a “southern gentlemen.” Together they are a sweet couple. Their love is effortless and beautiful.

The Kalathil Family {Halter Ranch}

It's great for any family to be together for the holidays…especially when you can freeze time with each other through pictures. It was a joy being with this sweet family at Halter Ranch for family portraits. Seeing numerous generations in one location was a treat for anyone. Happy New Years!

Ashtyn's Senior Portraits {Halter Ranch Vineyard}

It's crazy for me to realize that Ashtyn will be a senior this year since I have captured her family's pictures for the last 4ish years! Every time I am with her, I am reminded just how stunning she is. Yes, she is truly beautiful (and easy to capture) but greater than that, her heart is gentle and sweet. Also, the mother-daughter relationship she has with her mom, Margit, is inspiring to me since I hope to be that close with Addie throughout the years. I wish her nothing but the best and I dream big for this amazing girl's life. xoxo

Andrew + Ingrid's Engagements {Halter Ranch}

This couple is amazing! I found myself laughing along side them throughout the entire shoot. Andrew's sense of humor is priceless and Ingrid's laugh becomes contagious. I loved watching/capturing them bantering, pointing fun, and cuddling all at the same time. Halter Ranch is such an incredible venue for pictures since there are different backgrounds everywhere you turn around. Andrew and Ingrid picked the venue based on their delicious wines they tasted a few months back...everyone needs to try their zin...incredible! Venue: Halter Ranch Vineyards
