Erin & Steve- Engagement

What can I say, other than Erin and Steve are one cool couple! They are both artists, being glass blowers and they have a shop in their backyard where they work together. They were such a blast to hang out with and the highlight for me was after we wrapped up the engagement session on Mt. Tabor and went back to the shop for a couple more photos of them working together with the glass.  To see more pics of their session, click here.

Beach Family Session-Igor and Margarita

Although this session was over a year ago, I happened to stumble across from it by searching files in my computer.  I forgot how adorably cute the kids were.  It was such a beautiful evening with a perfect sunset to follow.  To see more pics of Igor and Margarita's family session, click here.

Heather & Kristian's Mini-engagement Session Sneak Preview

Growing up, I pleaded with my dad to get a horse so I could train it.  His response was, "Rachel, dogs are cheaper, how about you train them instead?"  Many years have passed, and while dogs are the love of my life (other than my husband, of course), horses have always had a special place in my heart.  So when Heather told me that the place she had discovered for the perfect place for pics was Mountain View Stables, and that she wanted to incorporate horses into the engagement sessioin, I was estatic.

We couldn't have asked for better weather! The grass was so green, the horses were gorgeous and well-mannered, and Heather and Kristian were naturals in front of the camera.  There were so many "blooper" shots that I might end up posting later.  To see more pics from this session, click here.

The Newest Addition

Introducing...."Dozer", the Boston Terrier, i.e, the newest addition to our family.  He was 8 months old when we got him 3 weeks before Christmas.

Amy + Kris Sneak Preview

Amy was a stunning bride.  She is gorgous already as it is, but when she put on her wedding dress, her mom totally summed it up by saying, "Amy, all brides are beautiful, but you just transformed!" To see more pics from their wedding, click here. 

Emily + Joe's Wedding-Sneak Preview

Emily and Joe had a gorgeous, elvish, organic-ish, natural-ish, artsie-ish wedding that I absolutely LOVED.  (I like it when couples branch out of the "norm" and taylor-make their wedding to symbolize themselves in nearly everything: from the cakes, to the bouquets, to the neck-ties, and turquoise shoes.)  Congrats to the both of you, Emily and Joe.  More pics here!

Liisa + Brian's Wedding-Sneak Preview

Liisa is one of my best-est friends ever.  We met in college and were floorleader partner's together; so we got to know eachother very well, as you can imagine.  I am so happy for Brian and Liisa as they begin their lives together.  To see more pics of their wedding, click here.
