Wedding: Whitney and Sara

This weekend I had the opportunity to shoot Whitney and Sara's wedding in Carlsbad, CA. It was a beautiful, but windy day. Which made for some awesome photos. This was a popular date for couple to get married because the date was 6-7-08. The ceremony was at the Grand Pacific Palisade Resort and the reception at the Seapoint. I ended up shooting most of the day with my new 70-200mm lense which was awesome, but a challenge. Needless to say, I was sore the next day because it is heavy. I need to start working out before I do these weddings.
I know Whitney from graduate school at APU. We were in the College Student Affairs program together. I got to hear all about Sara for the last two years. She was such a calm and beautiful bride. It really was fun spending her wedding day with her. Below is a sneak peek at the couple.

Headshots: Dave and Stephanie

My husband Dave started a real estate business. I am his personal photographer. Anytime he needs a headshot or photograph of a house I come to the rescue. It doesn't hurt that he is easy to look at and the camera loves him. Not as much as me of course. This picture was to be used on his new website. We took it around 7:00pm near our apartment. The light was great. We used a soft bouncer to bounce light on to the left side of his face. This was his favorite.


This is my friend Stephanie. Isn't she gorgeous? She called me one day to take some headshots of her for a magazine called Light and LIfe magazine. They are doing an article about her and she needed a photograph. The light was perfect! I got to try out my new lense 70-200mm 2.8. Specifics added for you photography buffs. It is an amazing lense. It really helped to focus on Steph's beautiful features. She also got to give some of her glamour shots to her mom for belated mother's day. I have enjoyed getting to know Steph through our church, One Voice Church.

Wedding: Bill and Teresa

In January I did not have a blog so I did not get to tell you about these two amazing people, Bill and Teresa. I got to shoot back up at their wedding. They are so in love and it shows through these photos. These moments in the courtyard were so special. It was the first time that Bill saw Teresa on their wedding day.

5 Months Old!

On Monday I got to spend time with Joel and his mother Hannah. They came over to my house for a 5 Month photo shoot. Joel's dad Sam works with my husband Dave at Keller Williams Realty. This is a fun age to shoot because they can't really move around much yet. Our biggest challange was getting Joel to balance sitting up for a picture. He did so well! We even decide to support the real estate business by taking a picture for daddy. You can check out their website at www.beautifulpasadenahomes.com. That is why Joel is holding a sold sign in one of the pics. Looking forward to taking his 6 month pictures!
