I am always scoping out places when I drive and I make mental notes of cool places and the time of day I drive by them and where they are. I have been eyeing this one location for SO LONG. I kept thinking to myself I want to shoot something in there. As months went on the weeds got bigger and taller and it looked even cooler and my voice in my mind kept saying “I NEED TO SHOOT IN THERE!”. Does anybody else’s brain talk to them like that?!? I get bored of all the same locations that clients as well as photographers choose. That is why I am always looking for new and different places. So sometimes I ask my clients to pick their locations because I never know what they might know. She chose a place which happened to be right across the street of the place I had been eyeing!!!! So long story short, it was meant to be =). I love it when that happens. Enjoy!
I am loving my seniors lately! Such sweet fun girls, not to mention so fun to direct in front of the camera! I love how each one has said “this is hard!”. But all have done an ah-mazing job.! Trust me I will guide you and catch you in your best moments =). Seriously, how cute is she? She is a wonderful dancer but I was running out of light and action shots in low light don’t really happen. So we did some dance poses and she is just darling!
I wanted to steal her dress!!!!!
My favorite FAVORITE thing to do is play with light. Like I am obsessed. I literally don’t care what you wear because that isn’t important to me. I just want you to be comfortable and real in whatever you wear. No really I am serious. My priority is light………Then emotion. Sometimes flipflopped, just depends on what I am shooting. Wardrobe is at the bottom of my list. Though I will of course help if you need suggestions. If you are a fashionista, then by all means BUST IT OUT. But if I can find great light, you could be wearing the plainest outfit in the most boring setting and the photo can still be gorgeous. Now if you add real emotion and if you would like, a FABULOUS outfit and voila!, you got yourself this……………….
I LOVED this image and her ring. Don’t you see a perfume ad?? HOPE by Tina only at Nordies…………..

I am photographing some beautiful girls lately!! Gorgeous! We met up one EARLY morning and got some beautiful enchanting shots of her for her senior portraits. I loved the outfits she chose, perfect for this setting. While I was editing I was wishing I had a horse too! LOL! These girls are naturals I am telling ya! Enjoy!
Not a little girl anymore. She’s all grown up, ready to tackle the next phase of her life. When taking these pictures I was a photographer just having fun capturing a young girl woman. As I blog this as a mother, I can only imagine what it is like to see your little girl all grown up and graduating HIGH SCHOOL. When I think about that I take a deep breath, hoping for time to slow down. I am sure her mother did too. What a beautiful BEAUTIFUL young woman she is! Your parents are very lucky and I am sure so proud of you! Congratulations on being a 2011 Grad! I wish you an amazing senior year! Enjoy!

Some fashion shots =) since she was a natural!
A little teaser from this morning’s senior session!
I tried something different today with my senior session. More fashion inspired with real dramatic shadows. I am diggin’ how they came out! Not to mention she is GORGEOUS! Oh to be in high school again…………sigh.
A few more of my friend Katie and her cutey patooty family!
What a wonderful small intimate wedding this was. The perfect setting for this ultra easy laidback couple. This was my first destination wedding and I had such a good time. And a lot goes to such a wonderful bride and groom. I was super excited for this wedding for months. AND I had my lovely friend , Katie, 2nd shooting with me. She becomes more special to me every time I see her!
I had never been to Tahoe and heard so much about it. It is absolutely breathtaking! It fit J & O’s personalities perfectly. Their love was just like Tahoe, naturally beautiful. No need for the large festivities. Just simple. Real. Them. I can see why they chose this beautiful place to commit their lives together………… and join at the hips……wink…..:)
The day started at Sessions Salon where they have up to 5 or 6 bridal parties a weekend! Tahoe is a popular place to get married!
I ADORE her crinkle nose smile! So cute!
Her wonderful Aunt who helped the pair get ready.
Simple and elegant.
Gorgeous bouquet and an apple from the mother of the groom’s tree.
All ready!
These two were so laidback that they actually got ready together! So we didn’t do a First Look naturally, just straight into the portrait session. I LOVE that they allotted over an hour for their pictures. We were able to shoot in 3 different locations, one being a field behind Denny’s that Katie and I spotted while we were getting milkshakes and chicken strips to go that morning!
Two of my favorites!
I love the the last image of her………beautiful and so happy!
Sweet moment with her grandmother after the ceremony.
The reception dinner took place at Riva Grill overlooking the Lake with breathtaking views of the sunset.
Mr. And Mrs!
LOVING these sunset shots Katie took.
Thank you so much J and O for being so sweet. We wish you many days of happiness together. You guys are such a wonderful couple. Thank you for everything!
