Kristi and Drew | People’s Church Wedding, Orchard Reception | Fresno, CA

admin — Wed, 16 May 2012 06:36:36 +0000

Kristi and Drew’s wedding took place just a few weeks ago with a ceremony at the GL Johnson Chapel at People’s Church. Following their ceremony, everyone headed out to Kristi’s parents orchard for a beautiful reception among the olive trees. They pulled out all the stops, even rolling dad’s classic Thunderbird out for few portraits and finishing the night with an exit lit by huge sparklers held by the guests. Check out a few of my favorite images from the day.

The Robertson Family | Newborn, Family Portrait Session | Clovis, CA

I photographed Denise and Michael’s wedding several years ago, and they have bestowed the greatest honor I know by having me document they’re growing family. I last photographed them in September and when I arrived I was greeted with the exciting news that Denise was pregnant again, tempered with the knowledge that the early stages weren’t going well and they were concerned that the pregnancy wouldn’t be successful. Come April, things got more tense and Jeffrey was born 4 months premature. I’ve nervously watched his progress over the last 4 months and a few weeks ago got the news that he was doing very well and would be coming home – within 2 days of his original due date – and they would like me to come and photograph them again. It’s so hard to believe that this tiny little guy has been in the world for 4 months! I’m so happy for this family, thankful that Jeffrey made it, please enjoy this little peak into their lives.

Kristen is an avid tennis player so we headed out to Copper River to start her session on the courts there and then moved on to other areas of the club. The session was an absolute blast and I think we all had a great time. Check out a few of my favorites!

Katrina and Andrew | Fresno State Engagement Session | Fresno, CA

admin — Fri, 11 May 2012 18:29:27 +0000

I’m really starting to like shooting on the Fresno State campus. With all the new buildings that have gone up over the last few years along with the great diversity between “green” and “urban” areas, it’s fantastic location for a session. Katrina and Andrew are graduates of the journalism program at Fresno State, and that’s where they met, so it was natural that we shot their session there. Enjoy a few of my favorites…

Sheri and Kevin | A Wedding from The Grove | Sanger, CA

admin — Fri, 11 May 2012 03:45:03 +0000

Sheri and Kevin were married a few weeks ago at the “new” old venue The Grove. You may know it as Hobbs Grove, but they’ve revamped the place to cater more to weddings and it’s looking great. This was my first chance to work at The Grove and I was fortunate to have such cool, laid back couple to spend the day with. In spite of the heat, everyone had a blast and I took a few photographs that I’m pretty proud of. See a few of them here!

The Johnson Family | Family Portrait Session | Fresno, CA

The Johnson family is going to be moving soon, but before they did, they asked me to shoot a session in the home their little boy has spent his first few years growing up in. Shooting in the family home, for me, is my favorite location. It’s so much more meaningful than a park, lake, or other random “pretty” place. It documents a piece of their family history and long after memories fade, the photographs will be there to remind them of those early years. Enjoy!

The Westra Family | Urban Family Portrait Session | Fresno, CA

Next up is the Westra family. Jamie and Sam are also former wedding clients and I finally got to meet their little one year old daughter. Oh my God, look at her big blue eyes!

Meet the Arabian family coming to you from the foothills outside Fresno. We managed to catch the tail end of spring and things were absolutely beautiful up there. Love their little boy’s energy!
