Olivia's Modeling Portfolio Potrait Session - Vacaville California

We had a great time photographing Olivia's modeling portfolio session at Andrews Park in downtown Vacaville. I don't know how her mom Amber is going to make choices for her Zed card. She did great in front of the camera and we got some incredible images. These are some of my favorites.

Russ and Kay Cayler - Just Because Portrait Session - Davis California

We went to the Davis Arboretum for Russ and Kay's Just Because Portrait Session. The garden and grounds are beautiful for pretty much the entire year.   They are such a sweet couple.  We got some great images of them together.  I wanted to do a special design that speaks about their love for each other.


I also built a collage for them.

Makayla's Newborn Portrait Session - Dixon California

Sweet little Makayla is our newest client.  We will be seeing her over the next year as we document her growth as part of our Bebe Collection.  Although this is her newborn session, Makayla was actually born three months ago but was ten weeks early.  Her adjusted age is really one week old.  We had some trouble getting her to sleep even though it was normally her napping time but we were able to grab a few sleeping images,   


and some terrific ones with mom and dad.



I'm looking forward to seeing you all again in a few months!

Katie Morse & Joshua Rector - Wedding - Vacaville California

This is quite possibly one of the longest posts I think I have ever made for a wedding.  I wanted to include many images that hadn't yet been posted by any of the other wonderful photographers that were at the event.  Josh's dad, Jim Rector, is a photographer in Houston, Texas who stepped in a bit to grab some shots.  You were a really nice, "dad with a camera" to have around that day, Jim.  You can read Jim's blog post *here*.  Katie's sister, Shannon Morse, (a former assistant of mine) is also now adding the art of photography to compliment her extraordinary videography talent.  You can read Shannon's blog post *here*.  There have also been many, many images loaded on Facebook.  Good luck to Jim in designing their wedding album with several thousand great images to chose from!

Ryan and I had a great time shooting this wedding and were honored that we were chosen to be the official photographers.  Here's our take on the day.
