I’ve never been to Apple Valley, nor have I shot at a mortuary/cemetery, so Tracy and Walter showed me what was up in their adorable town!  Can you believe this place?  It was gorgeous! I hope my next comments don’t embarrass Tracy.  But this story is beautiful to me, and I needed to share it! […]

Janelle and I met on FaceBook.  Seriously!  She is a photographer as well (Janelle Christine Photo) and she introduced herself to me with all her sweet comments on the photos I was posting on my own photography page!  We then found out we had common friends, then realized that her cousin is my step-brother-in-law.  Ha ha. […]

Tanner is 15, a Sophomore at Etiwanda High School.  He likes camping, hiking and rock climbing more specifically!  He is a member of BSA Troop 66. He’s been in scouting since he was 8 and recently earned his Eagle Scout Award!  Eagle Scouts always impress me. A little about his project: “Tanner created an orienteering […]

Alycia and Alan will be getting hitched at Whispering Oaks Terrace, near Temecula in 2014!  They decided to do their engagement photos at the same place and show off their rustic barn theme for their engagements and they couldn’t be cuter!  These two both posed like they’ve been doing it for years, and they seriously […]

Kandace and Jesse met through a mutual friend.  It only took a few hangouts before they were totally smitten.  😉  They got married and made this ADORABLE little lady, Elizabeth–who just turned 1!  You can tell that Elizabeth is the center of their lives.  They were so cute with her, and she is just such […]

I met Kristy and her cute family earlier this year when we did 6 month shots of her sweet little twins, Brynn and Paige.  (You can see those photos HERE.)  Six months later I hadn’t realized how big they had gotten until I viewed their previous photos!  They weren’t sitting up quite yet at the […]

“WHY would you want to do THAT?!”  is the question I remember asking my friends in Junior High as they explained what cross country was, and attempted to get me to join the team with them.  Previously I had NO idea what that even was!  So yes, after a short explanation, wide-eyed and flabbergasted I […]
