This one one of the best sessions I’ve had in awhile! First, we had a chilly morning which was a welcome break from all the heat. Then, the company – this couple was cracking me up  This is one wedding that I *know* will be a lot of fun!

12 days old and full of snuggly squishy lovelyness. meet ezra, he’s lovely.

This wedding had that wonderful mix of the beauty of physical surroundings, a couple that was starry-eyed and friends and family surrounding the event with love and warmth.

Special thanks to Lori for finding this AMAZING location! excellent eye, and I hope I’ll get to see your shots, too!

of course, there was cake!

Bill’s daughter was so sweet and beautiful and very happy to be a part of this wonderful celebration!

I had two shoots within 24 hours of each other, so that should explain the rapid fire posting!

This family was so wonderful to work with!  They all converged in Cloverdale  from across the west coast to spend a week together. Being that it was 10 people, I was a little worried that it would take a long time to get everyone taken care of. I need not have worried! This family was so photogenic, and so easy to work with!

seriously, even the dog was perfectly behaved!

I had a father’s Day shoot later in the day for this adorable little girl and her family. Seriously, could you die from cuteness?

You’d never know it from the pictures, but we braved the cold and wind and had to choose three different locations before we found something that wasn’t blustery. This little girl stayed happy the entire shoot, making my job so easy and fun!

Can you tell she’s the apple of her father’s eye?

I hope these pictures will help you remember your first Father’s Day.

my love, you are a wonderful father. thank you for sharing this adventure with us.

I had the honor of photographing a very old friend this weekend. (7th grade!) She and her husband are expecting their first child and I am so please to be able to reconnect and share a few moments in this special time of their life.

I was also inspired to pull out my vintage 4×5 camera and use up some of my (soon to be extinct) polaroid film. If you like the vintage look,  please let me know and I can certainly shoot a few at your session.

Congratulations, and I can’t wait to meet your little stinky-pants.
