Meet these two beautiful young ladies!  This age at the Whitewater Preserve really allows some very fun, real moments with these kiddos.  These two loved the fish, the water, the bugs, the rocks, they were checking it all out.

Big sister though took full advantage of the beautiful scenery and the camera, she went into full model status for a bit and posed beautifully for some great images.  Twentynine Palms Photographer, Twentynine Palms Children's Photography, Yucca Valley Photography, Yucca Valley Children's Photography 5

Little sister on the other hand had very different plans because there was a ton of great stuff to check out but she gave me a few minutes of her time to capture her beautiful little self in some images I know her parents will love!

These boys are just full of cuteness.  This is the second time I have gotten to photograph these two and each time their smiles and baby blues amaze me!!

So this was not easy, there were fish in that water behind him so he was working hard at letting me snap some smiles before he went adventuring!

What fun would sitting in the grass and dirt be if we couldn’t use them as our morning snack!!  I ❤ that his eyes are big and look like he was totally caught at something in this one!  Twentynine Palms Photographer, Twentynine Palms Children's Photography, Yucc Valley Photographer, Yucca Vally Children's Photography 7

Rob and Andrea, The Family

So when Andrea contacted me about doing their first family photo I was super excited!  There new adventure is a bit reminiscent of my family’s journey.

To say the boys in this family were simply here because they were told to arrive was an understatement but before too long they would be right in there with new posing ideas and fun pictures!

It is also a great way to torture our children 🙂

Run for the Warriors 5K in San Diego, CA

San Diego Photography - RunForTheWarriors San Diego 5K 19

I’ve said it before, photography has brought so many things into my life; so many blessings.  Hope For The Warriors is a charity that started providing services to our injured service members as they came home forever changed by their time serving.  Just with any other charity they began slowly but over the years they have expanded their opportunity to serve by offering programs for service members, family members, want to expand your knowledge of adventure – they cover that too through offering excursions where modifications are made to support handicapped participants, the list goes on and on.  I was given the opportunity to photograph one of their fundraising activities.  This was the first year visiting the west coast for a Run for the Warriors 5k in San Diego.  This 5k was ran or walked along the embarcadero in gorgeous conditions and I couldn’t have felt more blessed than to have participated, thank you for all you do!  I look forward to seeing you all again next year!

Emma turns One!

Cake Smash sessions are always fun and so unique!  Emma’s was no different, she isn’t quite one yet so this was her first cake smash and she went for it!  We had a nice session in the Joshua Tree National Monument, we snuck in a mini family session and then Emma was dressed for her 4th of July birthday for a cake smash.

Twentynine Palms Photographer – Ben and Ashley

My sessions always touch my heart and make me feel blessed to capture some moment in time but when I get to photograph my nephew and his girlfriend as they begin a new chapter my heart overflows!  Ben and Ashley are on a new adventure; they are moving away from California.  My hopes and wishes for them are of course grand and what a better way to decorate a new residence than with some new couple’s photos!

Twentynine Palms Photographer – The Hemmingers say good-bye to 29

During a busy crazy day I left my step stool at Knotts Sky Park, a photographer shooting her own session that day was nice enough to pick it up for me, find me on the internet and call me so I could come get it!  So awesome to find good people who will go out of their way to be nice; well her husband is getting out of the Marine Corps this week so what better gift than to do a session with them before they leave.  I was a little nervous about how things would go photographing someone else who feels the same passion I do for photography but oh my did we have fun!!  What a great couple and what a bunch of great images.   The Hemmingers are leaving for new adventures and I wish them all the luck, I am so glad I met them and was able to capture one last peek of here for them.

Twentynine Palms Photographer – Jenica’s 6

This beautiful little 6 year old is Jenica, not only does she capture my heart when she is in front of my camera but often in my personal life.  I have been blessed to know her since she was a baby and I am so excited to watch her as she grows into a young lady.  One of the bonuses to photographing friends is that you often get some goofy outtakes just like a few of these in this blog.  Jenica leave a trail of beaming smile everywhere she goes, her personality and smile are one of a kind.  Enjoy and be on the lookout for another Silvas on the blog; her big brother is graduating from high school this year!

Twentynine Palms Photographer – Joanna’s Senior Session

Joanna is another one of those class of 2013 seniors that I have had the pleasure of watching grow up over the last several years!  She is a beast at soccer and a beautiful young lady bound for greatness.  This session included her personality and that of the fact that her boyfriend Byron also has a love of the game soccer.  She will be adventuring off to Nevada for school and I expect to hear great things about her future.  She was so excited to share her smile, brace free of course and I am glad to be able to help commemorate her final adventure in high school; graduation!Twentynine Palms Photographer - Senior Portraits - Joanna-15 copy Twentynine Palms Photographer - Senior Portraits - Joanna-14 copy Twentynine Palms Photographer - Senior Portraits - Joanna-10 copy Twentynine Palms Photographer - Senior Portraits - Joanna-5 Twentynine Palms Photographer - Senior Portraits - Joanna-4 copy Twentynine Palms Photographer - Senior Portraits - Joanna-3 Twentynine Palms Photographer - Senior Portraits - Joanna-2 Twentynine Palms Photographer - Senior Portraits - Joanna-2 copy Twentynine Palms Photographer - Senior Portraits - Joanna-1
