Brandi & Raul {Married!}

Chantel & Anthony

2011-09-09T21:01:00.000-07:00

These pictures were taken the day after the baby was supposed to be due. Despite the smiles we were {and still are} all very anxious for her to be born. :-)

Brandi & Raul {Engagement}

2011-09-09T10:35:00.000-07:00

My cousin Brandi is getting married in October and I have been lucky enough to be asked to take the pictures for their special day. I'm so excited!

Jackson

2011-09-09T10:24:00.000-07:00

Jackson is seriously the most mellow baby I've ever seen. Usually I have to chase babies around and they cry and its a bit difficult. Not the case here. Jackson was just chilling the whole time, it was great. :-)

Kelsey {Senior Portraits}

2011-09-09T10:15:00.000-07:00

Kelsey is so beautiful! Posing for pictures is not easy when you aren't used to it and she did fabulous! :-)

Josh {2011}

2011-09-09T09:40:00.000-07:00

Josh and I have photo shoots on somewhat of a regular basis because he is an actor and needs head-shots regularly. We always have a ton of fun and it helps me branch out in my creativity. :-)

Justine {Grad Portraits 2011}

2011-09-09T09:17:00.000-07:00

We officially have no more high schoolers in my family. :-)

Chantel {Maternity}

2011-09-09T09:08:00.001-07:00

My adorable sister-in-law.

:-(

2011-09-09T09:01:00.000-07:00

Apparently the universe doesn't agree that I should post with the bigger better pictures that I recently discovered. Ever since then I cannot get the pics to size correctly. So instead of just not posting like I've been doing for the last few months, I'll just go back to the small ones... If you see some cool ones then click to enlarge, they're better that way I promise, even if it does take three seconds longer.

My Lovely Parents

2011-05-28T14:32:00.001-07:00

Aren't they cute? :-)

Yay! Big Pictures!

2011-05-23T18:14:00.000-07:00

I have made a discovery! I hate how my pictures look when they are so tiny in my posts. In my opinion it makes my pictures look unprofessional and even bad quality. Most people don't take the time to click on every single picture to enlarge them even though they look SOOOOO much better when they're bigger. So here I have used a recent photo I took of my sister playing softball as my tester picture. I'm so excited about this! I wish I had the time to go through all of my old posts and do this to every single picture! If you are looking at my old posts by chance and really like a certain picture, click on it and see it bigger. Seriously. It makes all the difference.

Hawaii {March 2011}

2011-05-18T11:55:00.000-07:00

This past March I was blessed with the opportunity to go to the big island of Hawaii and partake in some missions work with my college group. I had never been before and it was a blast! We worked hard at the camp where we were staying and the host practically forced us to take a couple of days off to tour the island. I'm so glad he did!

Fishing

2011-05-07T12:53:00.000-07:00

My Dad, Mom, and I took my cousin's boys fishing off the pier in Ventura. Sadly no fish we caught, but it was a beautiful day to sit and watch the ocean. :-)

Photoshoot With My Little Sister

2011-02-06T16:57:00.000-08:00

My little sister is graduating high school this year so we've decided to do a few photoshoots throughout the year just to have a variety of pictures for her senior pics. It was a quick little shoot but very fun. :-)

Sisters

2011-01-11T13:00:00.001-08:00

It was rainy and cold and my sisters and I had nothing to do. What better way to pass a boring day then to do a rainy day photo shoot? It started raining pretty good so the shoot didn't last long but we had a lot of fun with it. :-)

Landen {2 yrs}

2011-01-11T12:35:00.000-08:00

A while ago I had the pleasure of chasing this little guy around for his 18 month old pictures. Here he is two years old already and what a ball of energy! Photo shoots with him are never dull, that's for sure. :-) We even got his mom in a few of these.

Josh

2011-01-11T12:21:00.000-08:00

This is my delightful little cousin Josh. Being involved in theater he was due for some head shots so real quick I grabbed my camera and we had a little photo shoot on the side of my house. :-)

2010-10-01T16:30:00.000-07:00

This was my first mini destination wedding! (It was only about an hour and a half away from where I live) :-) And it turned into quite the adventure! There were golf carts, which we took advantage of, and line dancing and sparklers and it was all around just a fun wedding to be apart of.

Laura+Andrew

2010-09-29T00:32:00.000-07:00

This was one of the most elaborate weddings I've seen yet. The guests were driven in golf carts out to the edge of the golf course, where the ceremony took place on the edge of the cliff! I had never been in a golf cart before so it was a fun new experience for me. :-)

Amanda+Nate

2010-09-26T22:42:00.000-07:00

Amanda was the sweetest bride ever! She has such a unique personality and style and Nate is such a lucky guy to have her as his wife. :-) Their wedding took place tucked away at a little hotel in Santa Paula, California.

Landen {18 months}

2010-06-11T17:18:00.000-07:00

I had a blast taking pictures with this little guy! He is the baby of some awesome family friends and has so much energy that it made it such a fun shoot. :-)

Nick+Jamie

2010-05-21T08:29:00.000-07:00

This was the craziest wedding ever!Rock and roll themed! So much rain has been pouring down the past couple of weeks but their day turned out sunny and beautiful!

Kayla

2010-05-21T07:50:00.000-07:00

Here is my fellow intern! This is a practice day and it was so much fun!

Amanda+Nate

2010-05-20T17:39:00.001-07:00

These two ware such a cute couple. I can't wait to see what their wedding will be like!

So many kids!

2010-05-20T17:16:00.000-07:00

I've done so much at this point already with my awesome internship. I've gotten to experience an engagement shoot, a wedding, and now the craziness of a shoot filled with a million kids. :-)

Lara+Shem {carpenteria, ca}

2010-05-20T16:55:00.000-07:00

My very first official wedding shoot! So exciting!

Candace+Cameron

2010-05-20T15:50:00.000-07:00

This was my very first shoot I ever did with AnnaJoy! Soooo long ago...

Slideshow!

Check out this slideshow of some stuff I've been doing lately with my internship!!! :-)

Much Love!

A Day In The Park

2009-11-22T14:38:00.000-08:00

Since we don't really have seasons here in Ventura I had to go find Fall in Ojai! My friend and I decided to bring along some props and see if we could create any fun pictures. I haven't actually had a lot of practice posing people, I've mostly taken candid shots and so this week I've got to try this out a little bit.

2009-10-16T14:48:00.000-07:00

Beautiful wedding!

Santa Barbara Mission

2009-10-16T14:38:00.000-07:00

I love gardens!!! I could spend all day in them. This tour is probably only a fifteen to twenty minute walk if you dawdled a bit. It took me over an hour and a half to get through. :-)

Random

2009-09-07T08:21:00.000-07:00

These are just some random pictures I took yesterday while out with the fam. I'm loving the weird hat on my brother. :-)

Babies!

2009-09-07T08:14:00.000-07:00

There's always a baby or two at my house!

Power is Out

2009-08-19T12:53:00.000-07:00

What better to do when the power goes out than practice with my camera! This was actually my first time taking pictures in low light and I think a couple of them turned out sorta kinda cool. There wasn't really much else to take pictures of in my house than the actual candles, but even so, mason jars add a bit of creativity to it. :-)

The Fair

2009-08-16T16:15:00.000-07:00

Just a few pictures taken at the fair yesterday. Even some chocolate covered bacon was tried. Not by me though...yuck.

Afternoon at Mugu Rock

2009-08-13T20:23:00.000-07:00

Just some random pictures taken when my family and I were hanging out on Wednesday.

Wednesday

2009-07-30T20:31:00.000-07:00

On a day with nothing planned what better to do than to make up your little sister and make her model? :-) I love to make my photos fun and bursting with color so Justine and I went around the house grabbing anything that looked interesting and random.

Jesse + Lisa

2009-07-26T15:25:00.000-07:00

I tend to take my camera everywhere with me. With the hope of becoming a wedding photographer set in my mind, a wedding seemed to be a perfect place to bring along my camera. So even though I obviously wasn't the official photographer for the special day, here are a few of my own.
