kae-chy & family – portrait + family session

i was honored and nervous when kae-chy e-mailed me to set up a session, as she is a photographer herself. she wanted some photos of herself to use on her website. she also some shots of her with her family, since she’s always behind the camera and rarely in front of it – something a lot of photographers can relate to. they live in campbell, so we decided to do their shoot in the downtown area – it’s such a cute little town! this was such a fun family – kae-chy has the most ADORABLE kids EVER. wouldn’t you agree?

 

kae-chy herself is a cutie. the camera absolutely loved her!

 

thanks for letting me photograph you and your family!

cindy & aaron – wedding

i recently had the opportunity to be an assistant to wedding photographer extraordinnare maurice ramirez.  the guy is seriously an absolute rockstar, and it was super inspiring to be able to watch him do his thing. it was a huge learning experience, for sure. anyways, he let me shoot my own photos while i wasn’t helping him out, so i thought i’d share some of them with y’all.

i was in LOVE with cindy’s dress – it was soooo gorgeous!

i loved the ruffles on it. so much detail!

(all that lip gloss makes this girl happy, heeee.)

love the silhouette here:

darien – childrens’ shoot

headed out to cal one afternoon for a little mini-session with this cute little dude. his mom wanted pictures for his second birthday so she brought some balloons, which made me happy! we also wanted to do a cupcake smash, but they ran into car trouble on the way and couldn’t pick up the cupcakes. oh well. we still got cute pictures anyway!!

at one point during the session, he decided he wanted to play with mommy’s eyeliner. heeee! sooooo cute!

thanks for letting me photograph you! happy birthday

betty – portrait session

this is betty. she needed photos for online stuff, of herself doing her favorite things.

she loves hanging out at home…she lives in the cutest little place!

i LOVE that chair!!! her roommate got it at a thrift store.

she has this awesome red wall in her room!

we also took some photos on the patio…

she enjoys wine…

and is an awesome piano player!!!

she also enjoys reading.

betty is also a runner. one of her favorite spots to go is glen canyon park, which is a great park! we took a walk around the place, and spent some time shooting.

thanks, betty! you are fabulous! i enjoyed spending time with you and taking pictures of you! good luck in your ventures!!
