Chico California Portrait Photographer: M Family

My tan from Mexico is quickly fading, as I watch the water pour down outside :) It has been a really strange week of weather here in Chico. Lots of rain, and it feels really cold outside. Maybe the eighty five degree weather in Mexico spoiled me.
Anyway, because of the weather, most of my sessions have been rescheduled and I am catching up on TONS of editing!

This little girl and her sweet parents, had a quick session with me before I left for Mexico. I always appreciate meeting new people and hearing some of their story. Brooke is a beatiful blonde and will be a wonderful big sister in the near future :)

Cheers to rain and chai tea and catching up on my office work! For those of you waiting on an email from me -- that is next on my list :) Look for a session from the happiest place on earth, in the very near future!

Chico California Portrait Photographer: Ryan, Megan and Ethan

I think it is fitting to have a post with this sweet family today as it has been nearly one year since Kenny and I moved to Chico. At this time last year, Ryan and Megan invited us in as roomates. Little did they know, they would have to put up with us for almost three months. You have to be pretty amazing to live with Kenny and I for that long -- and let me tell you, they are! Now they have sweet Ethan.
All that to say, I am so grateful for Ryan and Megan and Ethan. Documenting their pregnancy through Ethan's four months has been wonderful. They are great parents -- and Ethan is a bundle of cuteness... I know you will be seeing more of this little guy.

We started the session in their home, just hanging out...




They are such good parents...




Poor little man -- there is nothing worse than a camera in your face.

Not to worry, he calmed right down in his Mom's arms...


We went to a location outside and Ethan loved it.... They are a beautiful family, huh?





So cute...



Cheers to Friday and so much to look forward to!

Chico California Photographer: These are a Few of My Favorites...

Oh my -- 2010 was a very eventful year! One of my personal goals this year is not to move -- For those of you who don't know, In the last five and a half years, we have moved six times :) I love Kenny dearly and we are just looking forward to working on having a boring life this year :)
Back to the photos -- here are only a few of my favorites from 2010. I actually had some computer problems today (not a good thing), so I am improvising on this post. I planned to share one photo from each wedding and portrait session this past year. I guess this will have to do in order to keep up with my blogging :)
I can't say it enough -- I am so grateful for my job and for all of you! What a blessed life!! Please feel free to pass on my name this next year. I am really trying to concentrate on weddings, but still have a love for potrraits!
Cheers to 1/11/11!
