Adam & Nicole | San Diego Photographer

Well, big surprise...I am extremely behind in posting! I have so many great shoots that I have yet to show you all! Starting with:

Adam & Nicole.

You know when you meet people and you feel like you should have met them 5 years ago because you just click that well? I knew instantly that Adam, Nicole and I would be instant buds when they came to me a few months back. They are sooooo cool! Really! I wish you could meet them...and if you know them? You know how blessed you are!

We had so much fun with their engagement shoot. Lots of laughing...and LOTS of walking! Seriously, we must have walked about 5 miles total...maybe 10! ;)
Sure felt like it.

Here are a few of my favorites from their session.





I love this face on Adam in this picture...he must be thinking, "Yeah that's right. She's mine." Loved it. :)



We laughed and laughed on this shoot. It was so great how relaxed they were in front of the camera! It's really fun photographing a couple and knowing the whole time that you are really truly capturing 'them'.











Beautiful Nicole.



Fun and CRAZY Nicole! ha ha! I love this girl!



After walking all over Balboa Park, we had a few minutes left of sunlight, so we literally ran to the park for some fun on the playground!







I'm so excited to shoot Adam and Nicole's wedding! I felt like if the sun wasn't leaving us...I could have photographed them for hours longer! They were so fun and...and like I said before, it was like hanging out with buds.

You can check out a few more of their photos in the slideshow below:

Adam and Nicole, you guys are AMAZING! ;)

ps. don't you like my new big pictures?!?! I'm so excited about it! You can thank my awesome friend Melissa Koehler for helping me with that...ha! I've never claimed to be a computer/web genius! It's a good thing that I have friends that help me in this area! Thank you Missi! You're the best!

Ryan & Meredith Engaged!

Well, I'm a little behind in my posting, but I really wanted to share some images from Meredith and Ryan's E-session before Christmas!

These guys are amazing. They have maintained their sweet relationship across States! Meredith was in Florida and Ryan was in D.C....and they are planning their wedding in San Diego! Is that crazy? (Luckily Ryan's mom lives here and has been an awesome help.)

It was so awesome to finally meet the two of them and to get to know them a little bit while hanging out shooting. :) They were so awesome! Up for anything, and have really fun personalities. I'm so excited to shoot their wedding this fall! I had to soak as much of them up as I could because I won't see them again until the wedding in August!

Recoginize this window? I love this building!!! One of my favs now...


But this time we went inside! And then I fell in love again...




Another AMAZINGLY FUN shot! Are they HOT or what?!?!?
Like I said...up for anything! ;)


This is hilarious! We were walking down the street and I saw some cool doors on the firestation so I had them run up to pose next to them. Just then the doors opened scaring us all! A firetruck was coming down the street. Anyway, we asked to take a few with the truck, and then Meredith asked to borrow one of the firefighter's helmets...it was AWESOME!

I wish we had more time to play, but the firefighters were, like working or something... ;)
YAY for San Diego Firefighters!!!

























I had such an awesome time with you guys! I'm so excited to shoot your wedding! :)

Bockstahler Family

On Sunday I met a family that I hadn't seen for a couple of years! I can't believe how much the girls had grown...it was so fun to capture their sweet spunky spirits again. =)
Meet the Bockstahler family.


This time, they brought their sweet cousins. It was so cute to see how much they loved each other...and what a cool bond they shared.



Grandma and Grandpa also joined in the fun. =)
I loved the commotion and laughter in this photo...it really is a true reflection of that day.

The beautiful Bochstahler family...

Let's see that close up... =) Such a happy bunch.

Smooch!



And another smooch!

Cutest thing ever...

And...he was outta there!!!


My absolute favorites of the kids...
The bubbles were so fun! And the kids were so cute! They were really having a blast with each other!


So, a friend of theirs makes these personalized shirts! Aren't they awesome? I will get the info for you all and post it here later.

Thanks so much Bockstahlers! It really was fun hanging out with your amazing family and playing with the kids...always a pleasure. =)

My Fall Wedding...

As many of you know, I didn't take on much business for the year 2007 because I wasn't exactly sure what motherhood would bring...
However, this fall, a friend of family needed a photographer...so my husband and I took on, only our second wedding for this year.
I have to say...we ended the year on a good note with this one!
I LOVE fall weddings...and this one was just so amazingly sweet!
We had so much fun with Korey and Joy...here are a few for starters.

Joy was absolutely stunning...


Hello!
Like it didn't look like we were taking photos or anything...
Oh, well. I couldn't let this guy get in the way of the PERFECT shot!

After I got back to my computer though...it really started to grow on me!
They look like they are in their own little world...oblivious to what is going on around them.
So...that's why I didn't crop him out.

And for the 'Candid' winner of the day...loved this shot.
Just whispering and having fun together.

More to come!
