My oldest & closest friend (seriously, we met on the first day of kindergarden) asked me to photograph her new little bundle of joy, baby Ayden. I couldn’t have been more thrilled!

Kiersten Gonzalez

I went out and took pictures of Kiersten today for my vintage line. She is beyond gorgeous and probably the only girl here in town who has a real potential at modeling

From a recent shoot I styled for Abuel in the Golden Age vintage

I was called by Jen the Thursday before Christmas to see if I was available to help her out with a gift she and Kris wanted to give to their moms. I more than happily obliged and we began to try and work something out. So on Christmas Eve afternoon, we headed out to Downtown Reedley to try and do the quickest shoot possible (before all the stores closed or they wouldn’t be able to get these printed).

The shoot took about 2 hours and then it was home for me to race against the clock to get these edited and onto a cd for them. Sure enough, we got them printed just in the nick of time, they didn’t even have time to see the finished product until they were ordering them at Walgreens haha. But they loved them and both sets of parents loved them. Merry Christmas indeed :D

(also, do you know how hard it is to photoshop ugly fixtures out of brick buildings and tiles out of cement? HARD)

Last weekend, I had the privilege of taking photos of the Rios Family for their Christmas card. Their boys are just too cute, I take care of them at daycare so it made it more than easy for them to be comfortable around me, so much so, that in the picture with the 2 boys in focus, you can tell that the older brother is holding on to the younger one because he was just bouncing off the walls.

These were taken out at their home in the country on a beautiful early Sunday morning. They were such a joy to capture. 

Here are more pictures of Dalena’s beautiful family taken out at Hillcrest Christmas tree farm.
