the c family's sneak peek

Love love love this family. This is my third time photographing them

and I've enjoyed it every time!

Here's a little sneak peek for them.

more of ms. j

If you missed the sneak peeks of ms. j check back here.

Ms. j was so much fun to practice on. She was game for anything. The only 

thing that didn't cooperate was the setting sun. I would have liked to take a lot more

shots of this gorgeous girl in the beautiful light but unfortunately we only had an hour before

the sun ducked behind the mountains. 

More next time, right J?

senior - ms. j

I had the privilege of photographing this very sweet and mature senior in college. 

She'll be graduating in December and she asked me to take some senior

pictures for her. I definitely jumped on board!

Here's a couple of sneak peeks for her and her momma!

10 on 10: october edition

I'm back with my october edition of 10 on 10. (Missed the september edition? Check here).

If you're new to the 10 on 10 posts here's a quick run-down: 10 photographers from around the country post 10 photographs from one day in their life on the 10th day of every month. We link to each other's 10 on 10, thus completing a circle.

This month I decided to capture the day that the hubby and I were going to a friend's wedding in San Francisco, technically Sausalito for you northern Cali fans. We live about an hour south of

Sausalito and haven't spent much time on the other side of the Golden Gate bridge so I decided

this was a perfect picture-taking day.

Our day actually started a little earlier than 7:00am when our Early Bird got up but I was too

bleary eyed to capture that moment. After a quick shower I was able to finally pick up my camera and start shooting for the day.

the invite. 

(by the way, the purple letters below their names spell out WEDDING. What a cool idea!!)

stopping to get some donuts on the way out of town..... yummy!

  we stop off at Golden Gate park for a quick bite to eat at Annie's Hot Dogs... yumm!

(Can you tell this trip is NOT going to be very healthy?!)

as we're strolling through the park we see some musicians playing.

Unfortunately it was still very foggy in San Fran but I loved how one of the towers looked in the fog.

time to recharge before heading to the wedding

wedding time!

they had a photobooth at the reception so I forced the hubby  the hubby and I 

gladly took advantage of it!

The day ended with a fabulous fireworks display. 

My favorite part about this photo is the red from the fireworks illuminating the 

Golden Gate bridge on the right.

(if you're counting I technically have 11 photos. The photobooth collage I didn't take myself so I snuck one more in there.)

Now go check out Krista Lund's 10 on 10.

i couldn't resist

I found this in my stash from last week's get together seen here.

Can't believe it got buried. This is classic!

wordless wednesday

** sidenote - I need to stop calling these posts Wordless Wednesday because, well, some of them

actually have words with them, like this one. I'll TRY to get back to JUST 

posting pictures next week.

But for today...

What is better than homemade apple fritters that were baked from fresh

apples just plucked off the tree? Ones I didn't have to bake! But my awesome

neighbor did!! (It's good to have neighbors like that!!)

the R family

This past weekend I had the privilege of hanging out with the FABULOUS Gail from

Aroha Photography. 

We were able to practice some of our skills on the R family. What a beautiful and sweet family

they were! 

Thank you!!
