Alameda/Becerra Engagement

I had been looking forward to meeting Danielle and Carlos for quite some time. And one hot, sunny July day it finally happened! Carlos was a trooper in his sweater and Danielle was as sweet as she is beautiful. Danielle’s sister Michelle gifted the couple this engagement shoot and I could not be happier she did. Shooting engagements is always such a peaceful, welcome break from chasing toddlers around 😉 It’s also always fun to get into the city for a shoot. This park imparticular is one of my absolute favorites places to shoot (the only downside is that it’s also a photographer hotspot so sometimes you have to wait your turn to get the shot…)

Thank you Danielle and Carlos for braving the heat with me! I wish you all the best in your future together and cannot wait to get a peak at what I know will be absolutely gorgeous wedding photos.

The Living Doll and Family ;)

No, that is not a child model I hired to beautify my portfolio.. that’s my niece 😉  I know I’m biased and all but sheesh… My sister and I get a real kick out of what a bunch of bumps she makes the rest of us look like! ha!  Seriously though, I always look forward to taking these snaps for their annual Christmas card. I LOVE taking them and I love editing them all the while sending screenshots to my sister of all the horrible outtakes 😉  And I can never wait to see which ones make the cut on the highly anticipated Shepherd Christmas card.

The sole purpose of this little get together began as getting the pics in. Then it turned out to be such a beautiful day that we decided to make it a family afternoon at Botanic Gardens. And since I had my camera and we were all together I had to snap a few cousin shots (seeing as how last time we attempted that my other niece literally screamed the entire time :P).  Although we went through a little rough patch a few months ago when all the ‘older’ cousins would constantly bicker when together, I am pleased to say that is seemingly behind us. We all just went to Disney together and they all could not have gotten along better. Not to get all sappy but seeing them all together, enjoying each other, laughing, being goofy and asking about each other the minute they’re separated is.. well, I don’t even have words. They love each other like siblings and that’s more than I ever could have asked for. I have so much love for these five little people…

Spinazze Heigl Wedding June/July 2015

Who ever came up with the phrase ‘you should never mix business with pleasure’ was most definitely not a photographer. Although my sister in law Annie and her now husband Peter hired an amazing photographer for their Kohler, Wisconsin wedding I was still lucky enough to step in for a few events 🙂 Since Annie and Peter’s ceremony and reception were at Whistling Straits it was important to them to also have a church ceremony. So I packed up my camera and all my kids 😉 A couple of weeks later, once in Kohler for the wedding weekend I was able to step in to capture their lovely rehearsal and dinner. Driving home from Kohler on Sunday, it felt like a a very long (and good!) chapter was ending. It seems like we’ve been celebrating this wedding forever, now we all need to find something else to look forward to 😉

Congratulations Annie and Peter! Thank you for letting my family and I be a part of your beautiful wedding, we all loved every minute of it!

A few favorites from the festivities…
