Jessica | Boudoir Photography

I honestly never saw myself doing boudoir, but after this session I am slightly in love with it. The use of light, the simplicity of a beautiful woman, knowing how it will make the woman feel....yep, I love it. I had boudoir photos done earlier this year and they are literally my favorite photos of myself EVER. I never expected that. I hope that Jessica feels the same (and thanks for letting me share them...you're gorgeous!) Jessica asked me to do this session for her as a gift to her fiance for their anniversary. All of these photos were taken in my own master bedroom. I am offering boudoir sessions at a very limited availability. Ask for details if you're interested!

And here is the mini accordian album that we ordered! A little black book....but red ;)

Candace & Mitch's Wedding

When Charleton Churchill asked me to 2nd shoot  a wedding with him I jumped at the opportunity. Watching him work was extremely inspiring - his energy, his creativity and his skill are aparent in every photo he shoots. Candace and Mitch got married at a gorgeous ranch in Valley Springs, CA. Their day consisted of mimosas while getting ready, photos on a tractor, jumping in the back of trucks en route to photo locations, warm breezes while reciting their vows, the smell of freshly grilled California cuisine and a candlelit reception. My heart sang when the DJ played my favorite song of all time - Love of My Life by Santana featuring Dave Matthews. What a beautiful, perfect day for this gorgeous couple!

Sara & Andrew's Wedding | June 5th, 2010

Bless Sara's heart...she hired me even after I showed up to our wedding consultation with full blown laryngitis sounding like Donald Duck. I left our consult totally bummed that I probably wasn't going to get to photograph their awesome, fun wedding.....but lucky for me, got an email from Sara just a few days later saying that they chose ME as their wedding photographer! Young brides hold a soft spot in my heart because I too was only 20 when I got married. I spy extra closely to see if they sneak a glass of champagne (cough*like I did*cough) but I think Sara just had cider ;) Sara and Andrew got married in the beautiful Morris Chapel at The University of the Pacific and followed up with a warm, fun reception at Grandma's property in French Camp. When they said that they wanted photos on the trampoline I about died of happiness. When Sara busted out a back-handspring on the trampoline I said, "Girl, okay, I'll take the shot but please don't fall!" - she nailed it!

Thank you guys for including me as a part of your awesome wedding day!
