Hello.

Thanks for stopping by my humble little blog! This is me. I love to wear jeans. My hair is in a pony tail about 90% of the time... okay, 99% of the time! And I love, love, LOVE photography. When I get hired to photograph a wedding or a newborn... I literally get giddy with excitement because I can hardly wait to meet with new clients and share my love of photography with them.

Inn at Park Winters is one of the most gorgeous wedding venues I’ve ever visited and I was thrilled to photograph Kris and Katie’s wedding there last month. They are one of the sweetest couples I’ve ever met and so in love. It was a dream to get to work with them on their beautiful wedding day!  Scroll to the bottom of this post to view more images in a slideshow!

Whitney… John’s wedding day was nothing short of amazing! Whitney didn’t overlook a single detail and I loved all the bright yellow and D.I.Y details.

Hi.  My name is Susanne and I’m addicted to party planning.  Haha!  Ok, maybe not addicted but it’s definitely one of my favorite things about being a mom.  I love watching my kids eyes light up when they see the cake that I made or the treats table all set up.  And then seeing them have a blast and talk about their party months later!  Yesterday my baby girl turned four (sniff, sniff!) and she requested a mermaid theme for her party.  I had so much fun putting this together!  Here are a few little details…

Amber & Jared’s wedding at the Sacramento LDS temple was soooooooooo beautiful!  I was beyond thrilled to shoot this wedding and it was even more gorgeous than I imagined it would be.  Amber chose the perfect spring colors… her bouquet was one of my favorites EVER, and the reception was full of amazing vintage details.  Here are my absolute favorites from the wedding day…

I’ve worked with Amber a few times now and she is just SO fun to photograph (and hello?!  GORGEOUS!!!). I was thrilled when she told me she wanted to hire me for her and Jared’s wedding in April! We had a blast shooting their engagement session at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk with a vintage styled picnic on the beach at the end. Here are a bunch of favorites… I just could not narrow it down!

I had so much fun shooting Tia…Tom’s wedding last weekend at the Newport Beach LDS temple. We did a bridal session at the Montage Laguna Beach a couple days before the wedding, with a “first look” at the end to capture Tom’s reaction of seeing Tia in her beautiful wedding gown before the big day. The Montage is a gorgeous location and I was so relieved that it didn’t end up raining, like the weather had predicted! Here are a handful of favorites from the bridal session… more coming soon from their beautiful wedding day!
