I just can’t WAIT until it is the time of year that I get to do these All American Mini Sessions. They are SO MUCH FUN!! They are my most favorite mini sessions of the year. The kids love them too!!

I mean really, what is not to love?

You get to jump around in the back of an old truck, while waving flags, drinking soda pop, and eating HUGE slices of watermelon!! IT IS AMAZING!! What a fun way to spend your morning. 🙂

Thank you to everyone who came out! You all always make it so much fun. YOU ROCK!

Did you know that Wedding Photography is how I started out? YEP! My very first paid photography gig was for my college roommate’s wedding! She flew me to Arizona to photograph the Wedding!! I was SUPER excited and also crazy TERRIFIED!! Since then I have photographed hundreds brides, families, and children. So photographing this wedding was a fun journey back to where it all began!

This bride and groom were so amazing. We had such a fun time together! I also had the privilege of having the amazing and talented Emily Magers by my side as my second shooter. Having both of your photographers named Emily made it easy on the bridal party to remember our names. 🙂

The California Country Club in the City of Industry was such a beautiful location for the photos and wedding reception. And that bouquet?! AMAZING. I really LOVE succulents mixed with flowers.

Thank you Dave and Ashley for inviting me to be a part of such a beautiful day!

I always love getting to photograph friends. There is something extra rewarding about getting to give such a great gift to people that you love 🙂

I am happy to be able to finally share this with you all! I try to not share too early, just incase the family wants their Christmas Cards to be a surprise.

The Hixson Family is sweet, fun and just wonderful! I was so excited to get to photograph the love that they have for each other and for their sweet little girl! Since she was almost one we decided to incorporate a fun balloon into the photo shoot. I just LOVE the huge balloons. They are so fun and SO HUGE! I thought their sweet girl was going to get carried away. 🙂

I just love how these photos turned out!! It was a fun and laid back Family Session at the park.

ENJOY!
