My Best Friend's Wedding...

This may have been the most beautiful backyard wedding I have ever attended. I was so blessed to take photos for my best friend of nearly 23 years. Ramsy and John aren't just newlyweds, but they are also new parents as they are merging families: a modern day Brady bunch. What makes it all so awesome is the love they have for all of the kids, each other, and even more so for the Lord...

The Eisen Family

In nursing school, it is important to surround yourself with good people because when group projects happen, you're gonna want that super organized, intelligent person on your team. Meet Melissa! We met at school and knew that we were on the same page. She asked me to do family pics for her and I was thrilled! (She's the oldest daughter in the pics)

Officer Ben

The Shaffer family was the winner of the Back the Blue giveaway I did a while back. I was so honored to do these pictures for them. What a loving and giving family! A special thank you to the Children's Museum of Temecula for letting us not only take pictures inside, but also allowing us to play with toys and throw things!

The Johnson Family

So Heidi is a new friend in my life that I met when her husband became the new pastor at the church I attend. She has been such a blessing to me. I LOVE this family. Their new little one is here! (I am really behind on posting, lol) I can't wait to do more pictures including him. What a blessing this day was for me!

The Benavides family

I love this family. Not only are they so genuinely and sincerely in love with Jesus, but they all have smiles that could light up a room too! I am so excited to see what the Lord does in their futures.

The Brocks...well, most of them... :)

Originally, this was a mini shoot just for fun because I was visiting my friends in Wisconsin. However, I am so pleased with how these pics came out, I just want to share them with everybody. Rebecca and Brian (not pictured because he was at work when we took these) have had one of the greatest impacts on my life as far as friends go. I love them, and their kiddos, so much. What a true blessing they are to all who know them. I miss them beyond words!!!! But, I'll definitely be visiting again soon, for a packer game of course!

Sheila and Rolando

So I know this took me forever to post up here, but I literally had finals right after this wedding and my main concern was getting them their pictures as soon as I possibly could; and then going on vacation. I was so excited to do this because the couple was just so darn sweet. I was contacted by the bride's sister, Hari, who has been a friend of mine for about 8 years. The week prior to their wedding, the photographer they had cancelled!!!Hari saw that I was doing photography and gave me a call to see if I had plans for the holiday weekend. When she told me what happened, I had to do it...and I am so glad I did!
