I can’t believe Owen is 9 months old already… the last time my camera saw him was when he was 2 days old at the hospital, and Faith was (and still is) the proud older sis:

April and Steve ~ Part 1

I have been so excited to share about this wedding… my dear friend April who I have spent summers at Hume Lake with, got married at the Grand Island Mansion in Sacramento and it was such a blessed day! I have never seen such joy on April’s face… it just radiated through her the entire day and I couldn’t be more happy that she found the love of her life in Steve! They just compliment each other so well, and made my job SO easy :)

My favorite images of the day so far! :

Kyle and Jenay ~ Part 1: The Details

Kyle and Jenay are an absolutely wonderful couple and I couldn’t be happier for them! I feel so blessed to have them as clients and now friends, they are just a pleasure to be around and can light up a room with their presence. They just have this contagious joy about them, and especially know how to have fun! I shot Jenay’s sister’s wedding a couple years ago and when she chose me to shoot her wedding I was just ecstatic to connect with her family again and play a part in their amazing day at Rancho Las Lomas… every detail was exquisite, an all around dream! I’ve decided to spread this wedding over a couple of posts because I’m having too much fun going through their images :)

Jenay chose Larrissa Rehder of Inviting Occasion Inc. for her floral design, and her work is out of this world incredible! I was just blown away by her, and not only does she do an amazing job but she’s just lovely from the inside out and I really enjoyed working with her. Here are some favorites for now:
