Why I do what I do...

 I love to capture teeny tiny babies fresh from their mothers, toddlers laughing and getting dirt on their clothes, couples so in love they don't stop smiling, and families who laugh together until their bellies ache. I keep my blog updated with my most recent photo sessions and other little updates in my life that make me smile.

Please continue to stop by and leave comments - I absolutely love reading them!

Other things I LOVE:

Dogs especially my own.                Walking in puddles with my rain boots.       Candy.                My husband.        Converses. Black coffee.        Peace sign.           The smell of the air at 7am in September.          Elephant seals.           Red Skittles.         Dancing...everywhere.      Wedding dresses.           Weddings.        Babies' gummy smiles.        Peonies.        The sound of my email alert.    Rap.            Lavendar scented linen spray.       Rain.        Science experiments.             Family.        Friends.        Me.    

Andrew and Amy: Lafayette wedding, Wildwood Acres

Almost a year ago I asked my friends Andrew and Amy if they would be models for me so I can shoot my first engagement session to see if I would like shooting portraits. They generously obliged, and we had a really fun time. Then they dropped the bomb on me and asked if I would like to be their wedding photographer. I said NO almost immediately because the thought of having that responsibility on their most important day was quite frightening, and I wasn’t even considering wedding photography at the time. However, after a couple weeks of thinking about it I agreed to take on the challenge. I assisted in a few weddings with some mega talents like Lin & Jirsa and Marielle Hayes, so I had some good teachers along the way. A special thanks to my friend Hanh who helped capture some of the details and candid moments.

Andrew and Amy are the most beautiful and genuine couple. Their wedding day was full of laughter, love, great stories, and happiness. I’ve known Andrew for several years now, and I knew alongside any great man there had to be a great woman. Sure enough, Amy is just that and then some. Their story is really cute: Andrew had been in love with Amy since high school, but she didn’t realize she loved him more than a friend until just a few years ago. So… Andrew waited and waited, and finally they started dating and realized early on that a future together was the answer to a happy ending. Andrew and Amy, congratulations on your marriage! I’m so lucky to be more than just your wedding photographer, and it was an honor capturing your special day. xoxo

Corie: every day in the life of a two-year old

When did my little niece become a toddler? I coulda sworn it was just the other week that she was hardly able to walk, and now she’s running and singing and talking up a storm. These photos are from one of the nights I stopped by to visit my cousin Ly and her daughter Corie. It was the weekend before she was a flower girl in a Hawaiian wedding, so the first few photos are of her showing off her flower girl dress and bracelet. I decided to photograph Corie in her habitual night routine because I want her to one day look back on these photos and know that every day she was loved and cared for in the most tender and sweet way. We love you, Corie!
