Pleasanton Wedding – 11.11.11 – Heather and Jeremy

Heather and Jeremy were married 11.11.11 at her dad’s beautiful house on a tree-lined hilltop paradise  … It felt like we were a hundred miles away from anything. Wild turkeys wandered across the narrow road leading to his house, only to be passed by an occasional car, tractor or ATV. The couple lives in Reno but thought the space in Pleasanton would be nice for their ceremony.
Heather wore a beautiful dress with green ribbons on it that her mother helped her pick out.
Guests enjoyed plenty of sweets, including chocolate and peanut butter cake, carrot cake and a berry cake,  purple and white vegan donuts and a candy bar filled with a plethora of goodies, including fortune cookies, jelly beans and mint-covered espresso beans.

Rich Smith - Beautiful pics, bringing back wonderful memories. So much love to the two of you from “Uncle” Rich

Baby Session – Medford, Ore. – Esther

I photographed Esther in her home in Medford, Ore., the day after Thanksgiving. They still had guests who were in town for the holiday coming and going. My mom joined me for the session and enjoyed some pecan pie while Esther got dressed in her green tutu. Esther, who was born in July, is a giggly little thing with beautiful eyes and creamy skin. Elise and Jacob’s dog, Gibbard, joined in for a few of the family photos we took outside after Esther grew tired of her brief modeling stint.

Family Portrait Session – Alameda – Mike, Lisa, Justyne, Marley & Gordon

Gordon & Marley are celebrating their first Christmas this year. They got all dressed up and we headed out with their mom and dad, Lisa and Mike, and big sister Justyne, to get some holiday photos near their aunt’s home in Alameda. Gordon had apparently had a hard day of playing. He fell asleep twice during the shoot, but his sister Marley was full of energy the whole time. Justyne helped keep the babies entertained and giggling throughout our fun water-side adventure.

Boudoir Party – The Nines, Portland, Ore.

Lovely ladies, endless champagne, pampering by the fantastic Face Body Beauty artists Sunny, DeAnn and Whitney, treats and guidance provided by hostess extraordinaire Carol, French maid and police officer outfits and perhaps a handcuff or two. Doesn’t get much better than that! I have so much fun photographing these parties!! My greatest happiness comes when I see women literally tear up at their own gorgeousness. Every single women deserves to feel, look and be amazing. That’s what these parties are about – and I feel endlessly honored to be a part of making that happen.
