Fresno County Maternity Session- Waiting on Baby- David and Alicia

12/12/2014

4 Comments

 
This session is incredibly personal and I am just bursting to share it! This last Mother's Day my husband and I got a wonderful gift and surprise... We found out that we would soon be Grandparents! When my step-son and daughter-in-law told us we were ecstatic... little did we know that we would soon be sharing some similar news with them a couple of months later. Yes, we found out that I am also expecting. Much like a made for t.v. movie I will have not only a new grandson but also a daughter born within a month of each other. 
I made Alicia promise to have maternity pictures taken- even if it wasn't by me (they live in Los Angeles). I think it's such an amazing time in one's life, and you really need to make sure to have pictures that you can look back on and share with your kids. When they came to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday with us we went out and shot these. I will be forever grateful that I got to share this time with the two of them. And I can't wait to meet their little boy!

Fresno County Senior Session- Cassandra Redwood High Class of 2015

12/5/2014

0 Comments

 
I have been doing my best to slowly get caught up on my blog. I've had so many sessions in such a short time that it has been close to impossible between the holidays, doctors appointments for my little one on the way, and just the daily life of being a stay at home Mom. 

A few weeks ago I met up with Cassie and her Mom (a former high school classmate) at a rural Fresno farm (thank you farmer Troy and family for allowing us to use your land!). We had lots of fun and this gorgeous girl was easy to work with. Many thanks for making the drive to have me shoot your senior session!

Fall Fresno Park Session- The Didways

12/3/2014

"Fall has always been my favorite season. The time when everything bursts with its last beauty , as if nature had been saving up all year for the grand finale."                                                            -Lauren DeStefano

A beautiful little family session at Woodward Park. The changing colors made for some pretty backgrounds (and foregrounds too!). We had a small problem with a mad duck that tried to run us out of the space. I even caught little Victoria having fun with her Mom and Dad a couple of times during the session.

On a beautiful day in November, Victor and Michele said their vows and blended two families into one. The rain the night before gave us a beautiful sky and light to usher in their new life. Congrats to the happy family and a lifetime of blessings for all of you!
