The Nielson Family

admin — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 05:39:18 +0000

They hadn’t taken professional photos since their wedding fourteen years ago! So I was honored to get the call to schedule a family shoot with the Nielsons. We had a great time walking around the park. I had no idea what a riot these guys are. Photo shoots tend to bring out the crazy in people, I think. Thanks Nielsons!

There was a fire in Riverside that night. The ash thrown into the air can make for a great sunset.

Goodbye Penns

The months have gone by too fast. We loved having the Penns out in SoCal for the year. It was really great to have a piece of my family (and the childhood memories that come with family) here in California with us. To cap off their time here in the golden state, we went to the beach for a day of photography and fun. We’ll miss you guys!

ACA Class of 2010 – Jessica

admin — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 07:35:24 +0000

I was very excited to hear that Jessica wanted to do a senior portrait session. I think it’s a great time of life to capture through photography. We had a blast shooting near one of the many antique shops in Beaumont and then we found a great spot under the freeway. Jessica knew what she was doing in front of the camera and was incredibly easy to photograph. Her friend, Carissa tagged along to get some shots together as bonus, which I always welcome. Thanks, Jessica! Good luck this year!

Class of 2011, be sure to book your senior portrait sessions before the yearbook deadline! Send Jill an email to get on the calendar!

She’s Back! And this time she plays soccer and pees on the floor (not shown on this family-friendly blog).

What? You wanna piece ‘a me?

Still Catching Up – Rayna’s Graduation

I had the awesome privilege of photographing the Groshong family for a second time last month. This time, they brought some out-of-towners! I thought they were crazy before, but after meeting the rest of their family, I had no idea.

Congratulations, Rayna!

Freedom!

The Lapka Boys

I’m still playing catchup after a busy graduation season and a little vacation to Las Vegas and the deep woods of Arizona. We celebrated a birthday with these guys over Memorial Day weekend and then we went out and shot some photos.

Dead Sexy.

Toddler and One on The Way

After a little family vacation, I’ve got some serious catching up to do. First up, the Treurs. We’ve done several sessions with these guys from maternity to baby and each one gets better. These guys aren’t usually interested in the usual locations, so we found some unusual ones.

Seriously cute.

We found a perfect spot where there was just a small shaft of sunlight poking through the darkness. I love this series.

You never know what you’re going to be lugging to a photography session. See you next time, guys!

ACA Senior – Rachel

Rachel is graduating! Rachel and her family are world class folk. They are super involved with Redlands Christian School, Arrowhead Christian Academy, and The River Church. They are awesome baby-sitters. Our girls love going over to their place to play. And Jill and I don’t mind sending them every so often so that we can get away for an afternoon.

Rachel’s parents won this senior portrait session by outbidding everyone in the silent auction during ACA’s Cirque du ACA fundraiser. We had a great time in our session shooting in some really cool light. Congratulations, Rachel!

Little Elise

Remember this cute little girl from just a couple of weeks ago? My blog has been all Mercers all the time in the last month! I love it. Well, here she is again at three weeks old. She’s already got a bit of a “my-way-or-the-highway” attitude. Pretty fun to watch her dad try to deal with it.

Aretha Franklin would love this pose. “You betta’ THINK! Think about what you’re tryin’ to do me.”

Cassidy

Cassidy is graduating from Redlands Christian School. She’s headed to the big show – high school. I was pumped to get to photograph Cassidy for her 8th grade graduation. I got to do a shoot with Cassidy and her siblings last year at this time when her older sister was graduating from RCS. Cassidy is a natural in front of the camera. As you can see, she rocked this shoot.
