I have watched these girls grow and become an amazing set of team mates over the years. They have never had it easy as they have changed coaches, obviously players and they are generally counted as the under dog but so many of these girls have played with all their heart for so many years it is an honor to watch them. They have grown,they have stumbled but at the end of the day or the game they are all 29 Palms Wildcats!
This the boys Wildcat’s soccer team! My son has played on this team for all 4 years of his high school career! I have enjoyed watching every minute of it! Cannot believe that this is the last year he will play!
These boys fight their way through each game, finding new intensity and fight for something that they all love; SOCCER!
My kids play on both the boys and girls soccer teams for Twentynine Palms High School and it is always my pleasure to capture their games through photographs. There is something that image catches, their intesity. 
These girls have heart, they get in there and push themselves and each other to make a difference for themselves, their team and their high school experience!
Couples always offer such a varing experience in how I photograph. From the couples who just just found each other to those who have spent many moments together there is something magical about capturing the emotions related to them – to who they are when they touch!
Whether I get to snap a quick shot while the kids are running around or I have a session with just the couple tehmselves there is always a moment where you can watch the connection and lucky enough I can see the beauty through my lens!
Love, smiles, sparks, whatever I can capture, I am honored. Another chance that so often isn’t taken but should be so cherished. Take a moment, look eachother in the eyes; smile, laugh, or notice something new but either way enjoy it for the moment that it is!
2013 for me is going to be a year of change and really trying not to cry everytime my son, who is 17, does something! I am so excited to see him head into the world, discover, and find out who he is; just wish as mom it didn’t evoke so many emotions 🙂
This collage is a few favorites over the past two years of senior session photos! One of the bonuses to living in a small town is that I have watched many of these kids grow up with my own kids, I even get to see them now and again as young adults.
Today I spent the day with a friend driving through the desert searching for pictures. We spent over 6 hours in the car and did over 300 miles, froze our fingers and noses but here are some of the images I came home with. These kinds of days are also one of my 2013 goals, more landscapes to photograph and who knows maybe I will find new locations for sessions!
This is a year in the life of baby Jayden. Such an awesome experience to watch him grow and go from mommy’s tummy to walking! Here is just a peek at all the photos we took over the last year beginning with Sara’s maternity session!
Amazing what a difference only a few months makes when everything they do is new and exciting! 
And Jayden turns ONE! So much fun. I think we laughed the entire session as Jayden is full of personality and was a blast to watch while he dug into his cake. 
This family was my first maternity session, my first newborn session, and my first cake smash. I can say we had a lot of fun and did some learning along the way. I can’t believe Jayden is ONE! But here is his first year through my lens. Thank you Sara and James for inviting me in to this special and dynamic time in your life.
