Chico California Wedding Photographer:

The first time I got an email from Bethany, inquiring about wedding photography, I knew that this would be a great fit for both of us! You see, Bethany works at M Creations, a flower shop downtown. She is so creative and her style is organic. Paul is the perfect fit for her. He is down to earth and so nice! Together, they just love each other.
Getting to spend the afternoon with them for their engagement photos was so much fun!
The spot that they chose suited them so well and I loved it! I could have photographed for hours and hours. If it weren't for the fact that the light left us, I may have :)
Cheers you two! I can't wait for your wedding March -- it will be here before we know it!

Something you need to know about these two is that they love their dog! Lily did not have as much love for the camera -- but we made sure and snapped a few of this little cutie!

Chico California Wedding Photographer: Save One Hundred Dollars

Thinking back on these past three years, I would have to say one of the very best parts of my job is working with brides and grooms.
I can remember one of my weddings this past August. It was breathtaking. The Mother/Son dance had just begun. As I clicked my camera, to capture the deep emotion from Mother to Son, I found myself crying alongside every other person watching. When I went back to edit their photos, I cried again, seeing the emotion caught on film. It was a pivotal point in my wedding season as I truly understood exactly what I get to do. I get to freeze time for a moment, to capture something real and beautiful. You will never know what a great honor this is for me.
Thank you so much to each bride and groom for choosing me to capture your day. I don't think you will ever know how much joy I receive from capturing you.

In Wedding News:
This week only, December 6th through December 10th, I am offering 100.00 off of any wedding package.

And... here is a look at one of new designs from a marketing project I am working on.
Cheers!

Chico California Children's Photographer: Sisters

I wish I could show you more of these cute sisters, but then I may give away some Christmas Cards... If you read my post earlier this week, you know how I feel about spoiling Christmas Card Photos :)
Aubrey and Madison are beautiful little girls. If you know their parents, then you know exactly where they get their gorgeousness (is that a word?) from. I adore this family and once again feel that I have the best job in the whole world!

Chico California Portrait Photographer: Farris Family

It was a Thursday afternoon, I walked into the Tea Bar to meet Dani and instantly felt at hoome with her family! We talked about the session while they finished their edamame and tea... So much fun! We were already laughing and the session had yet to begin!
They had brought so many great things to include in their photographs -- cowboy boots, converse socks, nerf guns (Can you tell she has boys)?.... They are a very close family and I truly enjoyed watching them interact and capturing all of the joy rolled into one family!

Cheers farris Family! Thank you so much!

Ok, I had seen this alley on my way to their session, tucking it into the back of my mind for a more suited session. Was I ever excited when they showed me their nerf guns -- The spot was perfect!
