The Christmas House | Jen and Jose

The Christmas House provided the perfect backdrop for Jen and Jose’s yellow and grey garden wedding ceremony. I just loved all the flowers Jen selected for her bouquets.. she actually made the boutonnieres herself!

The day was flawless and filled with lots of smiles and laughter, hugs and tears..happy tears, of course! But the best surprise of all, was when Jose presented Jen with a beautiful new wedding ring during the exchanging of the rings. It was so moving to watch Jen and Jose laugh and cry during their ceremony..

Chico Engagement Session | Jessica and Michael | Bidwell Park

I couldn’t wait to photograph this Chico engagement session… we traveled a full day to meet up Jessica and Michael at Bidwell Park and it was sooo worth the trip!! Jessica and Michael currently work in the dental industry in Chico, but have ties here in Southern California, including recently graduating from Loma Linda University.. and then later this year, getting married at the Christmas House.

Jessica and Michael put together this romantic picnic themselves and included many items that were meaningful for them, like grandma’s vintage melamine dinnerware and some old dental books, along with a guitar and camera to showcase their love of music and photography. When they pulled out the beach cruiser and kite, I knew we were in for a fun ride! All these fun details were such eye candy for me, but what made this engagement session really amazing was simply them. I love how these two just fit so well together. Watching them cuddle and snuggle was like watching two professional ballroom dancers… they just had rhythm and grace, and seemed to move effortlessly together.

Kieran | Newborn | BABY Collection

I had the pleasure of photographing Kieran’s BABY Collection newborn session at his home in Orange County and he was an absolute angel! He was such a great sleeper! But my favorite part of the day was photographing mom and dad smooch and cuddle with their new son.

I just loved the nursery details…
