ROHNERT PARK MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHY : CHRISTINA & KYLE

When Christina contacted me months ago to ask me if I'd be willing to do their Maternity Session, I was positively touched. It's been years since we shared in their Wedding day & to now see their Family growing is an absolute joy! Their Wedding was an absolute BLAST & I was so excited to wrap my arms around them + now share in this special, special time!! xo

Family Portrait!

Look at this girl...gorgeous!

Ohhh - Faith! You are an absolute GEM & I can tell you are one LOVED big Sister!!

 Beauty...

Momma...! So stunning!!!

 ...coming so SOON!

 Okay...one last shot of this cutie before we go...!

THANK YOU, guys, SO much for letting me take these for you...I am beyond honored. Truly.

I hope the arrival of your Little Miss is smooth, joyous + surrounded by all of those people closest to you that matter most! Such a wonderful time & I can't WAIT to meet her!! xo

ROHNERT PARK ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY : SARAH & CORY

It's true - I don't always know where I'm going for a Photo-shoot until I get there...which I absolutely LOVE!! You get to go into it with an open mind, no pre-determined backdrops or 'scenes' you need to force & just roll with it! Which is kinda why I think Sarah & Cory just might be so perfect together...they're the type of people to just roll with it! Which is AWESOME...!

Getting to shoot them in this stunning, outdoor environment was amazing! A chance for them to step away from home & take a little break from their Spring-time Gardening at their new house - plus, get to know their Photographer a little bit! And, when they told me they really didn't have anything in particular in mind to do with the Photos? It was Photo-Freedom to explore & play! Thanks, guys!!

These two 1st met on their way to a Concert with friends! How fun is that for a kick-off?! 

- and I'm guessing it's that SMILE that grabbed Cory right away! 

Now wait a second...no one told me we had HATS!!! xo

We were on our way out, a full Session behind us - but, I had warned them...I'm never done until the Camera's are tucked IN the car - and I'm driving down the road...poor things were kind enough to let me play with just a few more poses on the way out...but, in all honesty - I could've shot all day! 

THANK YOU, guys, for being so easy-going & what we here call 'totally chillaxed'! I'm so excited to be working with you this Summer! I can tell it's going to be an amazing day to be a Photographer! xo

ROHNERT PARK ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS : AMANDA & NATHAN

2013 Bookings are flowing in - which means Save the Dates are going out...! While Niels did his best to keep up with the excited Brides attending Sunday's Wine Country Bridal Expo, I stepped away for a little E-Session once we were all set up!

Having told me they might be a little 'shy' in front of the lens, I knew to keep it simple. I don't ever want our clients to feel uncomfortable in front of the camera...it's not always a cozy place. I know...I am so NOT a fan of having my own photo taken! "-)

When I mentioned meeting up at SSU, Amanda jumped all over it! Having shot a Wedding there earlier this year, I just love all the different back drops it offers...it also happens to be where they met & fell in love! Perfection! Couldn't ask for a better location, then! 

As we began, they informed me they've never had Professional photos done of themselves at all! What!? Not only are they totally adorable together - Amanda is simply STUNNING! That hair, those eyes - - I am SO excited to see her take her 1st steps down that isle next May - - as Nathan lays his eyes on his beautiful bride. I already know his breath will be taken away!!!

Okay - last ditch effort - I TRIED for a little leaf fight...no go. Maybe - just maybe - they'll be ready to 'wild' things up a bit now that they know what to expect - - working with them was so effortless and they just shoot so PERFECTLY!!! Stay tuned...! xo

ROHNERT PARK WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER : WEDGEWOOD FOXTAIL

Nicole & Ryan were just about as cute as could be! Their interaction together was fun & spunky - you could tell this couple was Best Friends - and had been for YEARS now!

Fellow High School Sweethearts, I knew to be ready for that 1st Glance as she came down the isle. And, while he insisted it didn't happen - - I was SURE to share the tears photo as soon as I could! Those moments are priceless...!

Pink stripes in her hair & a pink/black polka-dotted cake - yup - this girl could FaceBook me anytime!! "-)

Here's to you & a long, fulfilling life together - wherever that may take you! xo
