I was SO excited when I was asked to go to the tree farm with this adorable family. These are just a few shots from the shoot, but I can’t wait any longer to share a little sneak.

This is another one of those places that I’ve never been before. I think that maybe being the 4th generation of my family means I just stay in a 3 block radius because I keep finding cool places around here thanks to photo shoots and I’m so embarrassed that I’ve never been there before.

This was such a fun shoot…and while I almost lost my head with excitement over the swings and marshmallow roasting….it was these four that made it so fun.. I’ve “known” this couple forever (there goes that local thing again) but this was the first time I got to hang out with them as a family. They were so dang cute. Seriously. I loved following them around as they searched for the perfect tree, it was hard to tell who was most excited about it (I kind of think it was Dad).  Watching the four of them play and skip and swing together was so great, and it was so cool to be photographing the traditions that I know these kids will remember forever.

Thanks again guys… more soon.

One of the coolest things about being a photographer is learning about new locations that are right under my nose. I mean, I’ve only lived here for my entire life…how come I never played here??
Thankfully this fun family has done some exploring and now so have I. I saw troll bridges and fairy hats and a family full of energy and love. It was really wonderful hanging out with them. We have a few more tricks up our sleeves soon, but here are some shots from our journey to the fairy forest!

Thanks for the tour guys!!!  More to come soon!!

We have been planning this shoot for a long time and I was SO excited to get to shoot in the dahlia fields. So the day finally came and it was soupy wet fog. But, I was heading out of town the next day and they were going to cut the flowers before I could get back. So we decided to brave it and see what we could get. I’m actually so happy about how it all turned out. The day and the photos have kind of a dreamy feel from all of that fog…and I was just so excited to finally shoot these guys. I’ve known Judy for….well…hmm…forever I guess…and watching her and her adorable family was so much fun.

I’ve know that she and Jim are chomping at the bit to see some photos, so even though I have more to share, I’m going to post a little taste.

I may be back with more sneaks…and I will definitely be getting the whole gallery to Jim and Judy soon…but at least now I can show my face at school pick up tomorrow knowing that I kept my promise!!

Thanks you guys, for waiting while I was off in Disneyland…I hope you love these as much as I do.

For everyone else….don’t forget to check out the holiday promotion page and get those sessions booked soon!!
