The Gardners



This family is special.  There is a gentle movement between them.  The way they interact with each other... it's just inexplicable.  I was a lucky girl to get to spend a couple of hours hiking around with them.  They are truly beautiful... to the core.

Nick.

This is Nick.  He is pretty cool.  Nice kid, kick-back attitude, and killer grin.  He's an awesome baseball player, knows how to handle livestock, and isn't afraid to show his softer side toward is mama.  I have to say... I like him. A lot.

This is sweet baby Hudson.  I took pictures of his gorgeous mama just a few short weeks ago.  It's hard to believe that he's here already.  I don't typically do newborn shoots, I simply do not have the set up for it, but my friend and fellow photog Misty DOES do them frequently, so I was able to visit her studio and join in the fun!  It was a great experience and I'll confess, I fell in love.  Well, let's be honest, who wouldn't?  He's perfect, right?!

The Every Day Miraculous...

This was taken in the Joshua Tree forest just outside of Nevada in California
Early morning from my door step...
The famous Golden Gate Bridge... I love the every day beauty around us.  With each sunset and sunrise we are given a burst of the miraculous... all we have to do is stop and look.

Kayla

Kayla [Kay-luh] noun 1)  Unique, unlike any other 2)  Selfless, puts family and friends before all else 3) Loyal, honest, REAL.  Kayla is a unique woman, so it seemed only fitting that both her shoot and her blog post be as well. 

Marc and Crystal

This growing family is so beautiful.  The kids are cheerful and full of adventure and life.  I could have spent all afternoon with them, but the fading sun had different plans.

Mr. and Mrs. Toone

This is a true fairytale story.  High school sweethearts, reunited thirteen years later.  These two have always loved each other and their "broken roads" lead them right back to each other with some added blessings along the way in the form of their three beautiful children.  It was a true honor to be asked to tell their story through images...

Deagan

This is one outstanding little man.  He wore this zoot suit to his kindergarten graduation.  There was no need for me to pose him because he did that all on his own.  He knew he was stylin' and was proud to show it!

Rickie

Rickie.... One of the greatest women I have ever had the opportunity to know.  She is about to have her fourth baby.  She is a wonderful example of the beauty of motherhood.  She is simple and natural and I just love her.
