Zach and Katie and a whole lot of Bakersfield

We took to the streets with this fun couple and had a blast! When a couple lets loose and is willing to try anything and have fun with each other...great shots is what you get! Here's a few fun ones, the rest will be posted by Monday. Great job guys!

Meet My Sister!

I've known this client for 31 years now and I think, although I'm sure I'm biased, she's the most beautiful woman I've ever had the privelege of photographing--inside and out. And, yes, she's single. And, no, Natanya I won't edit this post! She lives in Venice Beach and is an actress, documentary film maker and the producer and booking agent of String Theory, the most amazing musical experience ever. And yes, I'm incredibly proud of her. This is not to leave my other amazing sister out of the story, I'll be shooting her soon and will brag equally on her behalf! Check out the rest of Natanya's pictures on my proofing gallery.

Rio Bravo Wedding - sweltering, but beautiful!

Yes, two weddings this weekend in 100 degree weather! But the weddings went off without a hitch. Ryan and Shelly's wedding was absolutely beautiful! Shelly's dress stunning...Ryan cleans up pretty well too. I think the highlight of the day for us was an amazing song written by the Father of the Bride. Sorry if those pictures are blurry, we were all crying. Please, please publish that song! The rest of the images will be up the end of June. So don't forget to check them out!

Seven Oaks Wedding

We had the honor of photographing such a beautiful wedding on Friday. Wendell and Michelle looked amazing and were so calm and relaxed the whole day! It made our job so easy...and a blast. Look at that huge wedding party. The bigger the party, the more fun the poses! Thanks for letting us be a part of your amazing day. Can't wait to show you the rest

of the images in a few weeks.

Toddler in the Tulips

Well, not exactly tulips, but blue verbina doesn't really "alliterate" with toddler. But look at this munchkin so chewable. 11 month old Sophia Fullenweider in lush garden setting. Check her out in this heirloom dress and bonnet too. Looks just like an outfit I wore in the 70s! So beautiful! Check out the rest next week. This section of my outdoor studio is ideal for little girls! It'll even be more beautiful in June. Contact me to book your session!

CSUB Senior ready to graduate

Even college grads should get the opportunity of having fun senior portraits done...Laura Brown will graduate from CSUB next month in Liberal Studies. We had a fun day yesterday in downtown Bakersfield. The rest of the pics will be up by next weekend, here's a couple fun ones.

Wedding Gift Certificates

This is something new we've started. We're doing a gift registry for our upcoming bride and grooms. Don't know what to get them for their wedding? Why not give them a gift card to use after the wedding?! Who wouldn't rather have a beautiful canvas print hanging on their wall than a new toaster!

As a wedding season special, we are offering bonus credit for gift certificates. For every $2 spent, they get an extra $1 in portrait credit. So, if you purchase a $50 gift certificate, they actually receive $75 in print credit. Pretty cool huh? This applies to any dollar amount. To purchase a gift certificate, simply find your couples name and select a dollar amount. Gift certificates may be purchased at any time, but in order to qualify for the bonus amount, the gift certificate must be purchased at least one week prior to the wedding. It's a gift they will most definitely appreciate!

Engagement Portraits

Spring is in the air and weddings are around the corner. Check out a few pics from our beautiful couples we are priveleged to be working with. Wendell and Michelle (May 16), Craig and Michelle (June 14), Nick and Lindsay (August 2), and Cody and Lyndsie. What beautiful weddings those will be! Can't wait...

Family Ties at Hart Park

We had a lot of fun at Hart Park last week with some families. Here's a couple shots. John and Jenny Gatlin's three beautiful kids and Tracy Womack's family.
