Sunday evening I got this email, right as I was retiring to bed from what was a pretty stressful and obligation filled day. And just like that, everything was better. I was reminded of what it is I am really doing for people by simply taking pictures, why this job makes my heart so happy...

Love, Happiness, Photography
Have you noticed I’ve been quiet lately? Yes, I sadly let this beautiful wedding float by without even a shout out in the face tweet internet world. Although I tried my best to respond to everyone who has posted, messaged or contacted me, I haven’t updated my facebook status since 10pm on May 6th. After...
Being a “teacher”
So as you may or may not know I have a little group we like to call The Shutter Clique. It started with a desire to share our passion with liked minded photographers and has grown from there. We even currently have an intern who came all the way from South Dakota to learn with...
Candlepin Bowling
Yes, candlepin bowling was my favorite thing we did in Boston! I liked it so much, over half my photos from my trip were at this location. Not only did I happen to be awesome at it, but it was such a unique thing to do. I had never heard of it before....
Henrietta the Bulldog
While seeing the sights of Boston I also happened to see this cute little bulldog. Her name is Henrietta and she was waiting outside a store for her owner Margaret to finish shopping. I am usually a sucker for a cute dog, even more so a cute bulldog. (Fresno State – Go Bulldogs!) Yet, on...
I think I’ll go to Boston…
After an amazing few days in Boston I am home once again. This will be my last trip until I start traveling for wedding season and I couldn’t have asked for a better vacation. I really loved the city, and it was so much fun to visit our friends Vanessa and Adam. They turned our...
Recharging with WPPI
Hello all blog friends! So, this is just a quick little post to announce my lack of blogs for this upcoming week. I will be in Las Vegas for WPPI! What is WPPI you ask? Well, Wedding & Portrait Photographers International, or my favorite way I have heard it described is Disneyland for photographers. If...
Photo Books
Last week I ordered a photo book of one of my all time favorite shoots. I’m returning to the fabulous salvage yard location later this month for an engagement session, and I wanted to get the owner of the property a thank you gift. I thought it would be nice to design and order...
Say Cheese!
Last month was the Kern County Bridal Association Christmas party. I originally intended to just blog about that. Then, I posted the photos on my facebook page first where they have been tagged and commented and shown much love. So instead, I thought I would take an opportunity to discuss something I think is super...
What I’ve been doing on my week nights-Shafter Girls Varsity Basketball
You may or may not know, but I am a huge fan of basketball. I don’t mean that in an “I love the Lakers” kind of way, I probably couldn’t even name 10 NBA players. I mean that in the sense that I absolutely love playing the sport. I began playing basketball when I was...
