Passion Project 1- PART 2! Rolling Hills, Maternity Gown Session Temecula Maternity Photographer

So yesterday, I posted about our milk bath maternity session. While my partner and I were DROOLING over the images we had just taken, there was another knock on the door, and a second gorgeous mama was here to get glam'd up, and taken out for an adventure in the hills!
 
   I am super lucky, that literally across the street, are breathtaking rolling hills. We had almost canceled this session, because it had been threatening rain all day- but we decided to go for it, and were so glad we did! the clouds and light literally could not have been better.

Sidenote- my editing styles are kind of all over the board with this one- i have plenty of my signature soft and airy style, but i wanted to try for some 'dark and moody' editing as well, so some of these images are kind of a hodgepodge of styles- so forgive me!

What do you think of these? Do you have some friends or co-workers who are pregnant and wanting maternity photos? If so, send them my way!!

Morgan and Cody- engagement!!! Temecula field photography

I was lucky enough to photograph this gorgeous girls senior photos a few years ago- here is my favorite shot from that day!


 


And here are a few sneak peek shots from our engagement session today! We literally walked across the street from my house into these beautiful rolling green hills of wine country. And as far as couples go- they are pretty adorable!!

    They are getting married in May of this year at the Provo City Center Temple in Utah. I am trying to convince her mom to have me travel up there so i can shoot their wedding!

Aren't they gorgeous?? I love my job!

Kate's Maternity session Temecula Maternity Photography

So, i had the hardest time choosing images for this blog post! i actually shot this session just last night (and im already done with them- hooray! i LOVE being caught up on editing!)- and CLEARLY this couple isnt photogenic AT ALL. holy smokes! Kate and her sweet husband were smokin, and all around ridiculous cute and excited about their soon to be baby boy.

  We started shooting at some of my favorite spots in old town temecula, and then headed to my very favorite field off the 79. gorgeous light, gorgeous couple, gorgeous images! hope you love them, kate! cant wait to meet your sweet baby B in about 7 weeks!!

 

joie de vivre!!

BEST OF FALL 2013

Hello all!!
   I am, in fact, still alive and kicking! The end of last year was a CRAZY one for me! In the last couple months of the year, i had ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY SIX photoshoots and SEVEN weddings!

   So, needless to say, January was a recovery period for me! A little rest and relaxation, quality time with the kidlets and all, I even went on a mini vaca with the hubs to vegas- oy yay!  Now that life has resumed its normal chaos, as opposed to the 'chop my own head off' kind of chaos. I finally had some time to go through the last hundred or so photoshoots and pick out some of my favorite images of the season! Lots of families, a few babies here and there, and lots of kiddos! I am so lucky to have so many amazing families return to me year after year- and it is wonderful to see them grow, change, and add to their families!

    A word to prepare you- there are a LOT of great images here!  Some perfectly posed, many not so perfect! But my main goal during a photoshoot is always to capture a family as they are- smiling, crying, laughing, and everything in between. Keep your eyes out for a couple of my favorites (HINT- its the sour puss faces that get me every time!).

   Which ones are your favorite? Did YOUR family make it on the BEST of post?? Leave a little blog love at the bottom!

JOIE DE VIVRE!
