Two Different States, Two Different Girls

 This is Becca, a beautiful, smart, talented little lady who is a senior this year.  Becca's mom Lynea is one of my dearest friends.  Lynea, Brian (her husband) and I go way back to 1989.  We met while living in the Bay Area of California.  It was the big earthquake that brought us together and we have been friends ever since.  Lynea and Brian moved to Colorado shortly before I moved to Arizona.  I love going to visit them whenever possible.  This past July I was lucky enough to squeeze in a quick visit to photograph theirs son's engagement pictures and Becca's senior pictures.  We started in Boulder and didn't let the rain stop us, well eventually we did, ha, then finished in downtown Colorado Springs.  I absolutely adore Becca, she is one special little lady!!























 Seriously less then a week later I was in California visiting my family and was able to squeeze another beautiful senior Hannah who happens to be the daughter of Shawna, a very special friend of mine from high school.  Shawna and I met in 1982 when I switched high schools and started going to Templeton High.  Shawna was so very nice to me and made a tough situation a little less tough.  You see transferring into a very small high school like Templeton (town at that time was population of a 1000) can be lonely.  Most of the kids have grown up together.  I felt like an outsider until Shawna befriended me.  We had a lot of fun in high school.  I rarely get to see Shawna but when I do it is as if no time has passed, friends for life.  Hannah is Shawna's daughter and she is a senior this year at Templeton high.  Hannah is beautiful, smart and has a great spirit about her and lets not forget to mention she is a dancer.  It was so much fun photographing her at Montana De Oro, a beach on the Central Coast.  Hannah, another beautiful little lady!

Is it 5 or 15 Minutes of Fame?

Image
I want to say I am experiencing my 15 minutes of fame, since I had my 5 when I was 12. Stephanie help me out, what was the name of the talk show your mom took us to the tapping of in which I got to ask a question? This took place in 1979, we were in sixth grade. Teen Beat I think? I was selected to ask a question, in which now I can't remember if it was to Lief Garrett and I am thinking the host was Kristy McNichol, aggg... Anyway when the episode aired on TV I was to embarrassed to watch myself. Da I wish I would have!! On to my recent fame, I was asked to shoot the cover of the Arizona Bridal Source Guide this past spring for Kim Horn and it is out and about. This fame will last longer then 5 minutes since it will be available for the next 6 months. I am so very excited and am happy with how it turned out. It was a great and nerve racking experience! You can pick up a copy at several bridal shops around town and it will also be given out this weekend at the big bridal show at t...

Ahh Stella

Image
When you get an email from the sister of a past pride asking if you could take pictures of her 6 month old baby girl, you say sure! When she ask you if you can meet at her sister-in-laws house to take the picture because she has a "fun house" you reply yes. Then you show up and see this beautiful baby girl and this incredibly decorated shabby chic house, you burst with excitement inside.. That is just what happened. Elaine emailed me to see if I could take pictures of Stella and asked if we could meet at her sister-in-laws house. Well, you can see for yourself that Stella is beautiful and the house was a photographer's dream. Elaine had all her own idea's for Miss Stella. We had so much fun and Stella was a trooper to say the least. I loved how Stella would smile at her mommy over and over again. She is truly a happy baby. This shoot inspired me to convert some of my office into a studio. I called my friend Nancy after the shoot and was blabbing away on how much fun ...

A Very Sweet Wedding at the Encanto Park Clubhouse With Nicole and Chad

 My first wedding of 2014 was with Nicole and Chad at Encanto Park Clubhouse.  This wedding was so sweet with fabulous details.  I mean really fabulous details, from the location, to the bridesmaids attire and reception details.  If you follow my blog regularly you know I usually do not post to many detail shots, I always photograph them, I just do not post them.  For this post I am posting more then average because they were just so fun.  Thank you so much Nicole and Chad for allowing me to capture your sweet wedding.  It was such a great way to start 2014.
