Melissa + Kris.Couple

Starting off this couple shoot, I was abit nervous I will admit. Since I was expecting a caught-off guard Marine that was ready to split since Melissa had told me Kris had no idea that they were getting photos done!!haha But when we started the shoot, my expectations were thrown in the trash can since this awesome newly-wed couple was literally DOWN for ANYTHING!!!!!! Even when Melissa screamed her head off when a worm wiggled onto her foot, talk about instant heart attack!! I couldn't help but laugh and joke around with these two, they were so laid-back. It got even better when I told them to crawl into a tunnel for one last photo. Kris' face was pretty priceless!! Here are some of my favorites from their shoot:):)
Haha I love Melissa's face:)

Jameson, Connor & Liam:Children.

The H Family has just moved to the amazing 29 Palms from the Camp Pendleton area. I had been waiting to do their photos for a few months now. I like to be on my toes when it comes to doing mini-tots and Jameson and Connor did just that!! Mr.Liam just sat in his boppy and looked cute while cracking a few smiles for me. Being so handsome is such an understatment with these 3 boys. Jameson is 3, Connor is 2 and then Liam is 4 months old, I couldn't get over the cheeks on these boys...holy smokes!!!!! I can tell these 3 boys are so ready for their daddy to come home soon. I know its going to be an amazing homecoming:)Check out my favorites from their shoot.
Each boy had these little signs that said "We Love You" for daddy while he is away. But I loved how Jameson wanted to hold the LOVE sign so bad, this is my favorite photo!!

Brendin,Tara & Ella:Children

Smiles, talking, laughing, crawling, tugging on my hand, running around is what I got this time around with these adorable kids:)haha I'm always glad to have returning clients, it always makes me feel good that I get to see them again and see how much my little clients have grown. Brendin, Tara and Ella were shy the first time I took their family photos earlier this year before their dad left to head off over seas. I had a blast with them and I can't wait to do their family photos when he returns:) Brendin and Tara were excited for me to show up for the shoot and were talking to me, tugging at my hand for me to listen to them, all smiles!! Ella, oh sweet Ella, she has grown so much since I saw her last...she blew me away on how fast she was crawling and smiling for me. These kids are so full of energy I have no idea how Kallee keeps up with them and still manages to get everything done!! Well check out some of my favorites from their shoot...I hope you all enjoy:D

I love that little look she is giving me:)

Paulina & Juan:Engagement.

When I was on my internship with Kristen Booth, I had the privilege to do my first engagement shoot:) I was pretty much excited like a kid in a candy store to be very honest!! Paulina and Juan will be FINALLY be tying the knot after being together for 10 years. You read that right and its not a typo...I said 10 years. These two to me have the real meaning of true love. They are high school sweethearts and have a son together. Kristen Booth will be capturing their wedding in a few weeks so keep an eye out on her blog for their beautiful ceremony! Now check out my favorites from their engagement session.

MaKenna + Chris.Couple

Finally, August has arrived and I got to meet MaKenna:)haha She contacted MONTHS ago about doing a couple shoot with her and her NOW Fiancee' Chris. Oh yes, Chris just proposed to MaKenna this past weekend up at Big Bear!!! They have been together since October 2007 and are highschool sweethearts. She was beaming from ear to ear with happiness that comes with after getting engaged. He also did a great job on picking out the ring, it was perfect just for her! I literally had a blast with these two, my side was killing me from laughing so much towards the end of the shoot and they were totally down for anything that I wanted to do. I can seem years, I mean YEARS from now sitting on their porch back home enjoying the life they have built together and still madly in love. Congrats again MaKenna and Chris on getting engaged!!
That one is for Chris...hahaha

Brandon Kyle.Child

We have been planning Brandon's little visit to California for well over a half a year now. Even though we are 15 years apart, I LOVE LOVE LOVE being his big "Sissy". You can ask my mom that I have always wanted a little sibling and when my dad and stepmom had Brandon I was so happy!! But I didnt get to meet Brandon till he was almost 2. I loved every second spending time with him while I finished my senior year down with my Dad. Brandon has always called me "Sissy" since he could say it. And my other stepbrothers by their first name so I feel pretty special:) His mission when he came to California was to go to the beach, but it was a little late for that so before he leaves he will be making some sand castles. We went to Disneyland yesturday and he was so upset that we had to leave..poor guy. But he sure did have a blast and passed out on the way home. He grows so much everytime I got back home to see him. When he goes back to school he will be a BIG 1st grader, I asked him if he is ready and he told me NO.haha While editing these photos I see so much of my Dad in him!! Enough of me rambling, check out his photos..
His "Sissy, I'm done taking photos look:)" PS. Brandon: I love you more, times 100 million, 365 days a year:)
