I can’t believe this little guy is already 1!  Time sure does fly…

Cake smash!

these two kiddos were a hoot to shoot!  they both radiated sweetness and fun.  : )

this has been the year of big families with lots of little boys!

i already love having one spunky little eliza in my life, so i had a blast photographing this beautiful dark haired spunky eliza. : )

amazing eyes!

how adorable is this outfit?

michelle and eric are such a great couple.  they just light up when they look at each other!

i can’t wait for their upcoming wedding at raffaldini vineyards.  it is such a gorgeous location!

michelle and eric brought their sweet golden, vegas, along for a few shots.  i heart goldens!

meet karson.  he is super stoked to be a senior!

karson is a volunteer fireman, so we started out at the firehouse and then we headed to his family’s farm.

karson in his full gear.  karson’s adorable girl friend, taylor, hopped in for a few shots.

doggie lovins!

I have been photographing Catherine since she was just a little bean.  So fun to play on the beach with this sweet little family!  Love that early morning light.

a few years ago i had the pleasure of shooting lili and corey’s fabulous destination wedding in mexico.  they are an awesome couple and now great parents!  i was so excited to meet their precious little boy.  he was such a good baby on his debut photo shoot!

i love photographing the same family year after year.  it really gives us a chance to bond with the kids and it is fun to watch them grow!  i love the wood family.  : ) these girls are so sweet!  last year the “baby”, although is is not a baby anymore, was just learning to walk holding her mommy’s hands.  this year she was running around with the big girls!
