Showing up to the front door, balloons in hand, was definetly the way to win these little munchkins hearts! We were instantly friends and they started telling me all about their pets and who was their favorites...gotta love conversations with 5 & 2 yr olds, it is so cute!  Despite the sweltering heat, we managed to have a great time, running around the park and capturing some great memories.  Here is a sneak peak:

Jen Fish was my superb stylist, she helped set the scene's and then I lit and shot them!

Nate and Christine were the lovelycouple I got to shoot over this weekend. Nate contacted me last year todiscuss their wedding. I got to meet them in December while they wereup in Portland from LA. Christine is an artist and made all the detailsherself! She even grew all the succulents that she used for the tabledecorations! I love all the details...Icouldn't get enough of the eye candy that Christine created!!! Nate is a writer and getting to work with two artists was a dream come true! We had an amazing day down at the beach, it was soincredible to shoot in the sand at this intimate ceremony. Thanks toShannon Lee for assisting at this wedding!

Wow, it is almost summer, I can tell by how many wedding's I am shooting This year, my goal is to edit each of my wedding's BEFORE I shoot the next wedding, I was a bit optimistic...because I am shooting wedding's almost every single weekend if not TWO!  I am not complaining though, I love getting to be apart of these couples lives and to capture these special moments for them!  I love watching people in love and being able to anticipate the emotion I know is about to spring forth and grab that moment in time. These lovely couples renew my faith in love, hope for my own future..

So here is a sneak peak for one of my bride and grooms that captured my heart, with their love
