The Castillo Family: Family Session

I was so exited when gorgeous new mother Gia messaged me in regards to a family session this year with her little family of three. I had first met the Castillo's when Logan was in his mommy's belly for their maternity session and they were so amazing to work with. I was so happy to finally be meeting their 7 month old baby Logan for the first time and boy is he quite the little charmer! I loved being able to witness how adored he is by his sweet parents. Thank you again Nate and Gia for allowing me to be apart of another exciting milestone in your beautiful lives, wishing you never-ending joy with your little bundle of joy. 

Ian & Rina: Engagement Session

I feel so amazingly lucky to be able to get to know such wonderful people, so thankful that my photography has allowed me to do just that and this couple is a prime example. I loved getting to know Ian and Rina and their love story.These two are just smitten for one another, it was beautiful to capture the natural connection between the two. I am incredibly excited to be the one who captures their big day next year! Congrats Ian and Rina on this exciting new chapter! 

The Rego Wedding

Eric and Gabi tied the knot at the beautiful Wente Winery in Livermore, Ca this past October. This clear and sunny fall day couldn't have been more perfect for these two. They were surrounded by so many loved ones and friends as they devoted themselves to one another during a gorgeous ceremony. It was so moving to see how touched everyone was during this day witnessing two amazing people coming together as one. Knowing the radiant bride since college it was pretty awesome being able to be the one to capture her special day and to see see how much joy Eric brings to her life and how incredibly happy she is. Their ceremony was followed by a reception filled with laughter, amazing food and celebrations. May they relive this spectacular day over and over again through the years ahead. Congratulations and cheers to the new Mr. & Mrs. Rego!

The Facino Family

It is always amazing this time of year when I get to capture families for their annual family photos.  The Facino Family is one very near and dear to my heart. I just could not get enough of the cuteness that Makenna and Mason were showing in front of the camera. Enjoyed every minute of photographing this family and was so pleased to have the sun was present during our entire session. Taking these types of sessions make me so happy, knowing that there are still families out there that value family portraits and want to freeze that precious time with their little ones that grow up oh so fast. I think family photos are so important to have and be able to look back at as the years continue to pass. Thank you little Facino family for allowing me to do just that for you. 

"But I think most of all I love fall"

A little inspiration shoot to kick start the very first day of fall! Thank you to my dearest friend for allowing me to photograph her captivating beauty!

A cute and cozy home, a beautiful husband and wife, doggies, cake, donuts, flowers and beer is a delightful recipe for an adorable one year anniversary session for these two! I was so excited when they contacted me to do a one year anniversary session for them. Capturing their life in their home I thought was very special and not to mention stinkin cuteness overload. Thank you again Ryan and Vicki for letting me document another amazing time in your lives! 

Isla Sue turns one: family session

Darling little Isla Sue just made me realize how much I really love what I do, she stole my heart instantly and ran away with it during our session. It is so amazing to be able to photograph for family and loved ones like this. To freeze this precious time in their lives as their baby girl, Isla turns one in just a couple weeks. And to think we took these portraits way past miss Isla's bedtime, she did fabulous and I could not get enough of her cute face. Cannot wait to celebrate her first birthday with you guys!
