It’s going to be hot today…real hot!!! Temperatures are supposed to hit 109-degrees today, I repeat 109 – yikes!!! I don’t know about you, but when it gets THIS hot, I can get a little…cantankerous. Okay, so didn’t want to say ‘grumpy’ so I came up with the best word replacement I could find. And […]

They grew up in the same small town, just a few miles from each other, but were mostly just that: neighbors. They’d run into each other here and there in their hometown. Towering above most with his six foot four frame, Johnny was hard to miss. They shared a few classes together in high school, […]

Meet the newest darling of the Coelho family, Carys Diane. A few weeks ago, I had the honor of documenting her newborn portraits at their family’s home in Lemoore, and I loved every minute! Not only was Carys the sweetest sleepiest little darling for me, but she also continued to give sleepy smiles throughout the […]

It was a typical day at work. No makeup, no shower, and smelling a bit like the dairy she had come from, Kayla had just returned to the veterinary clinic from her early morning herd check.

I typically sit a few rows behind them at church. It is always so fun to see Matt and Sarah snuggled together, nestled amongst their little brood of blondies. They make the MOST darling family….EVER!!! Sarah and I chatted about doing family pictures back and forth for a while and finally, a few weeks back, […]

This week has been chock-full of emotions for me. Call me sentimental, but between a newborn portrait session, celebrating my Grandpa’s 85th birthday, a few late night phone calls with friends, and then taking engagement pictures for a couple I had previously taken senior portraits for, I am a mountain of mush over here. Mostly […]

It’s here…graduation week is finally here!!! I am SO excited for all the graduates as they get to celebrate and commemorate this milestone in life…such an amazing achievement!!! At the same time, I feel a bit sad. I have been shooting senior portraits for a few years now and I just LOVE love senior portrait […]
