We did the session with her sister and their little ones. It was a wonderful spring session that included lots of laughing and reading books under the trees.

I loved Casey's idea but she originally wanted me to actually light her dress on fire with her in it. To prevent injuries and hair catching on fire I decided to do a little planing and photoshopping to get the final image. I am really happy with the way the image turned out and can't wait to see the image blown up and hanging on her wall. We also took a couple beauty shoots on location while waiting for the sun to go down.

The twin’s celebrated their first birthday on Valentine’s Day so I tried to go with a Valentine’s Day theme and background. I quickly learned how difficult it is to photograph two one year olds at the same time. I wasn’t able to get many photographs of the twins with the Valentine’s Day theme but I was able to capture the twins being one year olds and those memories are even more priceless!

She was so easy to work with and naturally photogenic. We started the session in her apartment so that we could get photographers of her with her cat Olive. We then headed outside to get a few shots with her dog Rosie and an old suitcase. I love capturing a person's personality and style and I feel like that was accomplished.

When Cristal came to me and said that she wanted to do a snowy engagement session I got a little worried since we have had a pretty dry winter. We ended up picking the perfect day we got what we asked for. Snow! Cristal got the snowy engagement session that she wanted. It was well worth bearing the cold for.

I took a three credit entrepreneur class that meet all day for two weekends. Our final assignment for my group was a business plan for my photography business that was to be presented to the class……stressful! It was a crash course but it was worth it. After that week though I needed to de-stress so my bf and I decided to take a quick trip to the Bay Area. We had a wonderful time together. It was just what we needed to reconnect since we had both been so busy. We tried to do as much as we could in the short amount of time that we had. I know it doesn’t seem very relaxing but it was and the change of scenery was nice. We had so much fun it was just what we needed.
