You may recognize Gia and Matt as I shot their wedding three years ago at Greystone Mansion. They recently welcomed a gorgeous little baby girl into their family and came down from San Francisco to have me photograph them all together. It was so great catching up with these two and seeing the warm love and adoration they both have for their baby girl.
One of the most gorgeous baby showers I’ve ever attended and had the honor to photograph. I would expect nothing less since the guest of honor was none other than Linda of Grand Soirees. Loved all the sparkle and the subtle winter theme. The florals by Floral Sense were lush perfection! And can you believe how amazing Linda looks pregnant? That’s not even a maternity dress she’s wearing. Linda, Kevin and big sister Sophie welcomed baby Lana into their lives recently and are all completely smitten by her. Can’t wait to meet the littlest one soon!

My sister in law and her family came to visit recently and I couldn’t resist shooting a quick little session for them and their adorable twin girls. My nieces are growing up so quickly! I remember how teeny tiny they were as babies and now they’re toddling all over the place and getting into mischief together. Ellie adores Colbie and Cassidy and loves her Auntie and Uncle so much. I love watching our girls grow up together!
I love a happy, relaxed couple on their wedding day. Every detail had been carefully thought out and planned with the help of Gloria and her team at Grand Engagements and so Karen and Allen were able to just enjoy their beautiful day together as they became husband and wife. It was a brisk winter day with the most gorgeous diffuse light and a gorgeous and happy couple. I really couldn’t have asked for more. A big thank you to Marisa and Luis for second shooting and assisting me that day!

Emmeline’s first birthday is fast approaching and it’s making me wonder where the last year went. I’m happy that I had the time to really enjoy and revel in her babyness, but I am going to be so sad to see her chubby rolls go. I’m incredibly thankful to have talented photographer friends like Connie to make sure that I’m sometimes in front of the camera as well. I will cherish these images more than I can say.

Stephanie’s dress took my breath away as I stepped into her bridal suite. The beading and ruffles were absolute perfection and oh so dreamy. What I loved most about Stephanie and Rudy’s day was seeing them together with their families. They have such a tight knit, loving group and it was so apparent that everyone was just over the moon happy for the couple. Nothing, not even the rain dampened the mood and as luck would have it, most of the rain stopped before the ceremony and the rest of the day was just gorgeous. Here are some of my favorites from their day.
The rain started to really come down following the first look so we booked it inside for some quick portraits before the ceremony. And as it always seems to, the rain let up and we were able to start the outdoor ceremony in time.
Stephanie and Rudy gave me the full hour after the ceremony for portraits and I am so glad to have had that time. We were able to wander the golf course and chase the gorgeous light for some really beautiful portraits.
