Now I got them all together with their parents!

The long Autumn makes for great photography in Southern California. The trees are still golden and the light is still warm. It was a beautiful day for photos.

Most of the time she’s brilliantly happy. Like this.

But on this day, Lucy decided to bring out this face. She did it over and over, and it was funny every time.

Tummy-time… p-yu!

Jean jackets… p-yu!

Books and literature… P-YU!

Today’s post gives you the ceremony and beyond. I can’t say it enough. What a great day. Thanks David and Caitlin.

I loved Caitlin’s entrance coming down the hill to the beautiful view at Serendipity in Oak Glen, CA with trusty sidekick and maid of honor clinging to the back of the golf cart.

David watching his bride-to-be walk up the aisle.

This little girl was awesome. She carefully considered each rose petal before letting go and allowing it to float down to the grass. She nearly stole the show.

But then came the real show-stopper!

Brothers don’t shake hands. Brothers gotta… kiss?

They couldn’t keep there hands off of her.

Very dapper.

It was a great day. Thank you guys for letting me be part of it.

However, I don’t get cell phone reception up there in the hill country and it’s difficult if not impossible to find someone if there’s a miscommunication, which is exactly what happened with the Nix family. Luckily, they were all very gracious and forgiving of me for not clarifying exactly where we would meet. We found each other in the end, and still had a lot of fun shooting in the last golden light of the day up in Oak Glen.

We’ve been pretty busy with shoots this Fall and I’ve had to let the blog go for a few weeks, but we’re going to get back on track with some rapid fire posting over the next few days.

First up is the Cardenas family. You don’t find ‘em more charming than this. The whole shoot was just really fun and pleasant with casual conversation and little bits of humor. I love meeting families like this.

I think I told him to imagine that he loved doing homework every night.

Ahh, ‘Tis the season!

I love working together with clients to create images that express their personalities and highlight the things they’re most passionate about. This family brought all kinds of ideas to the table and we had a blast shooting until the sun went down. And this little girl… what a hoot. She never stopped dancing and running and laughing. She even mooned me a couple times. In the end, a fun shoot = great, self-expressive images.

Maddie loves photoshoots. And we told Mackenzie that this was as close to the beach as she was going to get for a while.

photoshoot mayhem.

There was a little dispute over who got to put their arm around Katelyn.

Mackenzie wanted to lie down too.

Genevieve turned one this month, so of course we had to get some photos. But I had to shoot quick because she did not like to stand still.

She has long been involved in theatre productions in the community and is now preparing to launch into acting for the small screen. We can’t wait to see where her dream takes her.
