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 – Morgan’s Senior Session
This senior session season has been amazing both professionally and personally. With my own senior most of sessions have been with the same group of kids that I have watched grow up with my own. This up and coming young man is one of those for me. I have watched Morgan grow up over the years, I have watched him play football and participate in many oher meaningful projects and events. As you can tell this young man has the kind of smile that is welcoming to all and with that he will do great things. I wish him nothing but good fortune with hs future and can’t wait to hear about all that he accomplishes.

Twentynine Palms Photographer visits Northern California – Johnson Wedding
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 – Alex’s Senior Session
This is another one of my great Seniors, class of 2013. This beautiful young lady is also one of my son’s good friends. Even with all the beauty captured during this session Al would have rathered not be the center of attention. Al is an all around beautiful young lady with so much athletic talent that she is good at whatever she puts her mind too. It was a pleasure to photograph her and watch her grow into a wonderful young lady. She will do big things in life!

Twentynine Palms Photographer visits Oceanside,CA – Baby S turns ONE!
I have been so lucky to watch this family through out this last year! Our journey toghether began while Baby S was still in momma’s belly. They have allowed me to chronicle the first year through many changes for them as a family. I am honestly a little sad that it is over.
Baby S was so much fun on the beach. He explored the sand and water, he never stopped moving. You may notice for most of my one year old sessions we always have lots of action shots!
Since the Gehris family recieved orders to Camp Pendleton I knew I wanted this shot and I am so glad it turned out even better than I could have hoped.

Twentynine Palms Photographer – Baby G’s Cake Smash
So many gorgeous images from our session in the park. This little cutie literally had me running in cirlcles; everytime I thought my camera was pointed in the right direction we switched our forward motion! So baby G brought the cuteness and some adventure, he did not smash his cake on his actual birthday but at our session he must new what to expect because he dug right in. During clean up the park sprinklers came on to assist. Thankfully mom and the little guy were good sports.
These smiles were amazing and brought out the sight of his big brother! He was in awe of his sibling!
Big sister turned on some music and the dancing began. Baby G was very excited!

Twentynine Palms Photographer visits Long Beach – Ellie is graduating
Two years ago I did Ellie’s younger sister’s senior pictures when she graduated from high school so when her parents asked if I would do this set for Ellie I was super excited. Ellie will be graduating from California State University Long Beach next month so how much fun for this desert photographer to get to head to the beach! Ellie hosted me around; we took pictures at the beach, with her competition sail boats, and on campus. This was most definatly a fun day. Congratulations Ingram family and thank you for choosing me to photograph this commencement of this upcoming event.

Twentynine Palms Photographer – Sara’s Senior Portraits
Here is some more beautiful images from my senior session with Sara. She is a Senior Wildcat at Twentynine Palms High School. She plays volleyball for the school and a club team! Her mom and I are friends so it was an enjoyable session hanging out with two great ladies — until the committed a sin and took some behind the scenes photos of me taking pictures, I am behind the lens for a reason. I am glad that Sara wanted to commemorate the session though!
