Annie & Lance {Oakland LDS temple wedding photographer}
Posted on August 12, 2012
Annie and Lance were married yesterday at the Oakland LDS temple and I was so excited to be a part of it! I completely adored Annie’s vintage dress, worn by her own mother on her wedding day! And the flowers were sooooo beautiful, too! I second shot these for Maria Duncan photography. Check out my favorites…


I could NOT get enough of her beautiful bouquet!
John & Whitney {Sacramento engagement & wedding photographer}
Posted on August 5, 2012
John & Whitney are such a fun couple… I honestly don’t think I’ve EVER laughed so hard while doing an engagement session! We started out at a laundromat, of all places. Yes, this was my idea… I first saw another photographer do an engagement session at a laundromat a few years back, when I was first getting into couples photography, and I’ve been dying to try it ever since! So I was super excited that John & Whitney were in! Then we headed over to this adorable strawberry stand, which also happened to have an awesome corn field and vineyard close by, so we set up a little vintage styled picnic and just had fun shooting until the sun went down! Here are all my absolute favorites from their session…

Kate – 12 shoots in 2012 {Sacramento wedding and newborn photographer}
Posted on August 2, 2012
My oldest daughter just turned eight a few weeks ago, so we headed over to the gardens at Eathbound Organic Farms in Carmel Valley for a little photo shoot. Kate is just about the sweetest girl I know and also LOVES to be in front of the camera. We had so much fun together taking pictures and the gardens were completely deserted… I love when I have a gorgeous location all to myself for pictures!
This last one was the very last picture I took (thus, the lack of curls in her hair!). I just love these wildflowers…
