Healthy, Wild & FREE.... Ebook recipes and food photography

 A few weeks ago,  I got a call from Meredith, a lifestyle health and wealth blogger and promoter,  about wanting some pictures for her website and future E-book of recipes. I showed up, and she had this beautiful table set up, delicious food to taste, and we laughed, and took pics, cooked, and ate some delicious treats she made. Here is a sneak peek of her lifestyle/health/food/isagenix photoshoot!!

Orange Grove Maternity Session TEMECULA MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHER

I have been itching to do a session in the Orange groves near my house for a while, and the timing finally worked out! Meet Heather and Spencer, darling little Jane, and a not-yet-named baby girl to arrive this summer! I ordered a new maternity dress, a sheer white lace one, that fit heather, and this location, to an absolute perfect T! I could not be happier with how these turned out. I hope you love them too!

Let wedding season begin... TEMECULA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

Saturday, I was privileged to be a part of an unbelievable wedding with my very favorite second shooter, Ashleigh, of Ashleigh Long Photography. She needed a second, and I was happy to be there! With a GINORMOUS wedding party of over 20, and a SIXTEEN FOOT LONG TRAIN, they definitely needed all hands on deck!

     It will take me a while to comb through all the amazing images, but I wanted to post a few snippets of the day here and there!Let me know what you think in the comments!

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!!

Passion Project 1: Milkbath Maternity TEMECULA MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHER

I recently returned from WPPI (Wedding and  Portrait Photographers International) held in Las Vegas. I met with thousands of other photographers, learned new techniques, business management, networking, etc- it was fantastic! It was my 4th time going, and I can't wait to go again next year!
   One of the things I took home with me as a goal was to start shooting PASSION PROJECTS. A passion project gives me the opportunity to be creative, go outside my normal comfort zone, try something new, or something that Ive wanted to do, without the pressure of having a paid clients expectations. My partner and I brainstormed some things we wanted to try, and had all kinds of fun ideas! This last Saturday our first passion project baby was undertaken! It started with a breathtakingly gorgeous soon-to-be-mama, and a milk bath filled with flowers. Here are a few of my favorites from that session at my house!

 I would love to know your thoughts on these! It was such a fun creative project. As an extra tidbit of fun- here is a pullback shot of me, literally standing over Brie!

Joie de Vivre!
