Photography has become such an amazing experience for me and then there are times when I get to help memoralize not only a special occasion but also one for someone who means so much to me. Meet my mom and her new husband Kim! When my mom said she was getting married of course I knew I wanted to be the one to photograph this big day. I am so happy for the newlyweds and that my mom found someone to make her smile!
My mom simply had an evil ook on her face at that moment she decided to smash that cake into Kim’s beard! But htey were having fun and didn’t make too big of a mess.
This is one of my favorite pictures from the day. I caught this during their first dance and to me it opitimizes the tender moment when two people come together!

Twentynine Palms Photographer – Beringuel Family
Sarah contacted me to do a family session while she was home visiting her family in Twentynine Palms, we didn’t realize that we actually knew eachother until we showed up at the session. This beautiful new family was a pleasure to photograph. Isn’t this little one too cute in her zebra pants?
There is so much said when a child smiles with delight while they are playing with their parents. These are the moments that I love to capture!

I could write a thousand words to describe how I feel about this family. After 5 years I was able to visit my dear friend Barbara and her family in Jacksonville. What a blessing this trip was for me! Her beautiful family and I has fun adventuring around this park for family pictures and the girls and I had a couple impromptu sessions that yielded some gorgeous shots! I love you Barbara!!

Twentynine Palms Photographer – The Allen Family in North Carolina
Last week was an adventure for me. It was wonderful that I got to reconnect with a friend and her family after 13 years! What’s better than a friend that visits and is a photographer so during the 4 day visit to Fayetteville, North Carolina we squeezed in a much needed session. The young lady Courtney in these photos and I have a long ago history, I was there when she was born and this is the first time we’ve seen eachother that she can remember. Demetri and I had not had the chance to meet yet so it was nice to get to know both the Allen kids! Thank you for all the hospitality!
Twentynine Palms Maternity Photographer – It’s a Girl!
Congratulations to the Davila family. Thank you for letting me photograph this moment in time yesterday. A super fun session with a couple of excited parents to be. They both did a great job keeping the secret until we finished the mini session and got some pictures rady for Facebook. Looking forward to meeting baby girl Davila. Love these shots with a vintage overlay, it adds a great color hue to the images.
It’s a baby! – Twentynine Palms Maternity Photographer
Yesterday I was honored to share in the announcement of new Baby Jenkins! It was so hard to keep the secret. Anna was so excited to share so we got these pictures done, edited, and posted quickly so they could make their big announcement!
Anna brought along her BFF, who is also expecting a new little one! She was our session artist and took care of the chalkboard sign. 
These two childhood friends are very excited to be bringing the next generation of friendships into the world in the same year, 2013 will be an exciting new adventure for both of them!
I can’t wait to meet baby Jenkins!
Introducing Some Great Couple Shots
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!
