Bragg Family | 2012 | Big Bear, CA

Ahhh yes we are a week away from September and I couldn't be more excited. This is my absolute favorite time of year! Leaves changing, cooler weather, parties, pumpkins, candy, beer, OH MY! In light of it being almost September I decided to post a few photos from a family shoot I did last fall! Meet the Bragg Family! They are so awesome and so beautiful!

Sarah's Spirit | San Juan Capistrano | Model

Everyone has that one friend...you know, the one that always speaks their mind, has a ton of spunk, and is always cracking jokes. In my life, that is my beautiful, spunky, hilarious girl Sarah. When I told her how gorgeous she was and that I wanted to practice sun flares with her as my subject she laughed at me. Little did she know though that I am persistent and according to my father (his exact words) "she get what she wants." So eventually Sarah let me drag her along to a gorgeous spot in San Juan to capture her beauty, her spirit, and might I add GORGEOUS laugh. I also have to mention that Sarah has had some hardships in her life but comes out stronger than a rock. She is such an inspiration!
Always an amazing time with this firecracker. Love you Sarah girl. You are amazing inside and out!

Sara's Spirit

Sneak peak of a VERY fun photo shoot with Sarah. I freaking love this girl, simple as that.

When my tank is empty, I fill up on coffee and love

Yesterday afternoon, I grabbed my two favorite things (my handsome fiancé & my camera) and headed down to the Harbor. It was a long work week, so I decided a little camera therapy and the smell of the ocean would perk me right up....and that it did! My love and I had a great time. We walked around the boat show, enjoyed some coffee from the best coffee joint in town, and snapped some photos. Kyle also played around with my camera (which by the way we named Pixy) and got some photos of me on the other side of the lens. Hmmmm maybe I have a second shooter in the making? Dear Friday, I missed you.

Adorable Babies & Pink Bows

Now fast forward six months and TA-DA, we have this beauty! This photo shoot was a quick, ten minute impromptu shoot. Quick, get the kid, a bow, and set her in front of some flowers! HA! As a photographer and proud auntie, how could I NOT photograph this sweet angelic face.
She just gets cuter and cuter by the second!

Marshall and Danielle | Married | South Lake Tahoe

I was so ecstatic when my friend Marshall asked me to be the photographer for his special day. I had never shot a Wedding in Tahoe, nor have I ever shot a wedding in the snow. Being that I am a beginner, I jump on any opportunity especially one as great as this! It was such a great day and what an amazing backdrop South Lake is. Plus, I am pretty sure Marshall and Danielle belong in Vogue Magazine or something. Could they both be any hotter!? I mean, seriously. Here are just a few photos from the day.

Congratulations Marshall and Danielle!

Bill and Claire | Married | Monrovia Historical Museum

Bill and Claire got married at Monrovia Historical Museum. If anyone is looking for a relaxed, easy going place to get married this is the spot! It has so much character and is so intimate. The bride and Groom are two of the nicest people I have ever met, EVER. Bills hilarious personality and Claire's sweetness compliment each other so well. Wishing you two years of happiness and joy. Cheers!
