There’s nothing more fun than getting a message asking if I have last minute availability for a session that ends up working out perfectly. I don’t photograph in downtown Bakersfield that often in the winter, so this shoot ended up being *extra* fun in that regard. My friend, Cindy, ended up asking if I had […]

Tis the season for Christmas decorations and activities to surround us. I for one, adore this time of year and every single party that comes with it. I was honored to be invited back to photograph the annual PCL Christmas party at Temblor Brewery for a second year. The people who work for this company […]

Marriage is one of God’s sweetest gifts, and when two worthy people commit to each other in this way, the celebration is always a blessing. Cathy and Jeff are two people who have independently lived such God-honoring lives. My mom is friends with Cathy, and I’ve heard about her faithful service to her church and […]

It is such an honor every time someone reaches out about newborn photos. It’s such an intimate time in a couple’s life, and it’s a joy to be able to step in and photograph it all. Luke was such a snuggly little sweetheart. He loves his time with mama, and his dad and brother adore […]

I have to say that I’m quite nervous about today’s post. It’ll either be a hit, or a flop, haha. Addy is the absolute SWEETEST senior, and she specially requested a glowy edit to her photos. It was really fun pushing my creative limits to edit these for her. The sunset at Hart Park that […]

It’s a joy to spend time with the Taylors! Every member of their family is kind, sweet, funny, and full of life. Sophie and Andrew are the best people, and it’s obvious that they’re the reason their children are the wonderful people they are. To the Taylor family, I hope you love your pictures this […]
