Way back in July I had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful wedding with the amazing Julie Cheshire. I had so much fun shooting this wedding and getting to know such a sweet couple. Here are a few of my favorite details from the day.
 

One more shot that I have been working on of little Eli. Thought I would share it before snuggling up and enjoying my day off! Happy Saturday, try to stay warm in this blustery weather!

What a wet day! I spent this morning at the Palace of Fine Arts and got DRENCHED as a super sweet family tried their best not to look frozen. It is amazing what a difference the weather can have on the look and feel of a location. The images below are from another session that I did recently at the Palace of Fine Arts. However, it was not raining. It was beautiful, and quite a lot easier to work with!

Humira & Weis's engagement session was awesome. They are a super fun couple to work with (and beautiful in front of the camera!). We walked around the columns and got some great shots. Now if only I can learn to control the weather so that all of my shoots can be this comfortable!

One of my goals as a Wedding and Portrait photographer is to keep my clients. I love the idea of meeting a new couple and photographing their wedding and then following them as their family grows. Ethan and Lianna are one of those couples and baby Eli is their first kiddo. Ethan and Lianna where an amazing wedding couple to work with, watching them as they grow their family is such a joy. Below are a  few of my favorites from Eli's very first portrait session.

Every once in a while a friend will call with a familiar request for a portrait session. I always welcome these special sessions but there is a completely different dynamic. When I am photographing a family that I have not previously photographed, I am often trying to wiggle my way into their hearts, my goal is ultimately to become a friend. So going into a session with a friend I don't have that need to establish a friendship, it is already there. So we get to jump right into the fun of the photo session.  We get to catch up, we laugh, it is always a blast.

This was a session with my friend Delena. We worked together in my previous life (almost five years ago!), before I was a photographer so it was fun letting her see my new life as a photographer. These are a few of the images that we got during her session, I had a great time catching up and getting some great images. It was a shock though to see how grown up Delena's family has gotten, another reminder of how quickly time is flying!
