Lauren - April 2013 {College Senior Photos, Pacific Grove, CA}

 This is my sweet friend Lauren. I was so excited when editing her pictures because they perfectly capture her spunky/fun/sweet personality. She makes my days a little bit better every time I see that smile!

 

Michelle - April 2013 {College Senior Photos, Pacific Grove, CA}

 This is my beautiful friend Michelle! I feel so fortunate to have her on my senior project team this semester.  She is such a joy to be around and her eyes are like diamonds! ;)

Clark Family - February 2013 {Family Photos, Arroyo Grande Village}

I loved capturing some beautiful family photos in the Arroyo Grande Village yesterday for my Uncle, Aunt and Cousins.  This is their first complete family photo ever, so of course, I feel super honored to take them.  

Jeff, Meredith & Nathan - November 2012 {Family Photos, Ford Ord State Beach}

The rain clouds in Marina parted just in time for us to have a wonderful beach shoot on Saturday.  Nathan is a kid with a lot of expression and a very vivid imagination.  I know he is looking forward to sharing that creativity to his new little sister who is coming soon.  

This is only one of several hilarious faces that I captured on camera.

Jason & Shelley - November 2012 {Engagement - Avila Valley Barn, CA}

 So excited for my sister-in-law, Shelley and her fiance, Jason, who are getting married in a 8 days!  Loved hanging out with them (and their doggies) at Avila Valley Barn last weekend.

Skyler, Stacee & Mariko - November 2012 {Family Photos - Avila Valley Barn, CA}

Baby Mariko is just the light of my family's eye!  She is the sweetest little baby!   I had lots of fun capturing her precious little faces.  It was also my privilege to capture these first family photos of my sister, Stacee, Skyler and Mari.

 

Danika & Honnalee - November 2012 {Family Photos - Avila Valley Barn, CA}

I was so happy that I had the honor of photographing Danika and Honnalee again this year.  They are such a fun mother - daughter pair, and they totally crack me up.  This year they were joined by Danika's sister and Mom.  We had fun hanging out in the hot sun, picking apples.

Metz Family - November 2012 {Family Photoshoot, Avila Valley Barn, CA}

 So fun to hang out with old friends and meet their sweet new additions.  Oliver was an absolute doll, and although he wasn't super smiley, I love the shots we got of his sweet face. 

One of my favorites...after he tasted Daddy's hair gel. :)
