My dear friend, Martha, is a Realtor for Century 21 Award in Ramona, CA. She needed some new headshots and we decided to try a different approach. We decided to do a portrait session that would also be useful for headshots. I think it makes it more personal! 
Brenda and Taj were a delight to work with. They are very down to earth people and made me really feel like part of their day. The San Diego Botanic Gardens was a gorgeous place for a wedding. There were so many little gardens that make for wonderful photos. The gazebo area for the reception was amazing because it really gave that formal outdoor reception feel with a twist of a garden picnic.
My Sister and Brother-in-law are always fun to photograph. Plus, let’s admit it, my sister is a natural beauty. There is this amazing building close to their home and I really wanted to do a session while I was home and of course they needed a family photo with their “kids”. It was quite chilly the day we did this session but I think the red cheeks really adds a nice flush. I love how these turned out.

My beautiful cousin and her fiance are getting married in August and I had the opportunity of shooting a winter engagement! The snow is one of the most missed things of mine in Minnesota. These turned out beautiful, there was a wonderful dusting of snow in the morning which made it perfect for a sunset shoot. I absolutely cannot wait for their wedding! Congratulations!
I have always thought that butterflies were fun, pretty little creatures but until my Gramma passed away they were never close to my heart. We had just finished the cemetery service and were about to head back to the church, when I noticed a monarch on my Gramma’s casket. It just felt like a sign from God for peace. These photographs are from when I went to Balboa Park, I noticed a monarch and began to follow it around to photograph. 
Being a woman, I LOVE shoes! I know, I know just like the rest of the women. I have this pair of red shoes that I have probably only worn three times, but I constantly look at them and wish I wore them more. I think I like the look of them more than I like to wear them. Every woman needs a pair of red heels.
All babies are a gift from God. I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph Eli, my cousin’s son. I love how mold-able babies are and the expression they give during the photo session.

I acquired these hats from a good friend of mine Carol, of Joseph Carroll Photography in Murrieta, CA. I gathered some lovely models and had a little hats photo session!
This shrimp salad made me hungry the whole time I was photographing it. It still amazes how natural light makes food look so delectable. Fresh vegetables really make the difference. Not only do they photograph better but they have the richest taste. I strongly urge anyone to support natural and organic markets.
