The Bridal Session | Sonoma County Portrait Photographer

So here it is. I've been super excited to blog Marissa's amazing bridal session photos. We met at the amazing St. Vincent's in San Rafael and she was glowing, beautiful and RADIANT! Marissa is a natural model and we could've taken pictures for hours! She brought along her besties, and I brought Miss Nitny to meet Marissa as she was my second shooter for the Big Day, which was yesterday. Now...SOOO glad we did these bridals. It poured rain during the wedding and photos were cut short. So. Take a few minutes to enjoy these photos...there are a TON and I could've posted way more! Thank you so much Marissa for allowing me to be a part of such an amazing time in your life!

Marissa and Clark {Engagements} | Sonoma County Portrait Photographer

Meet Marissa and Clark. I feel like we have spent so much time together in the past month with prior shoots and the wedding yesterday, not to mention all the communication in between, and I LOVE them! They are a super laid back and fun couple that have a very deep and amazing connection. They have been through a lot together which I think will strengthen them for all the many, many years ahead. Due to their super busy schedules we did the engagements two weeks prior to the wedding, and were lucky to have a brief break in rain to do so. We headed up to the Marin Headlands and found some really cool spots for their pictures!

8 weeks old...| Santa Rosa Children's Photographer

So, the Aunty of Little L of my last post contacted me when she saw her niece's pictures, and we squeezed her in before her little one could grow much bigger! We had to work to get this beautiful baby to sleep for some newborn-type shots, but it was worth it! She was SUCH a sweetie and I love the shots we got! Patience is so worth it!

Here are a few more images of our adorable one year old and her parents from a few weeks ago. She reminds me of my own daughter when she was the same age--the super cute but serious face, but a ham when she gets going! We had such a blast at this beautiful Santa Rosa park.

6 Days Old | Sonoma County Newborn Photographer

He finally came! Remember his beautiful mama, here? Well, after anxiously awaiting his birth..and preceded by a couple long weeks of lots and lots of contractions and expectations..well, he came. 8 days late. But when he came, he was ready and made his way into the world quickly and effortlessly. His mom is a champ. She rocked that labor and delivery!!! So...you can see he isn't a dainty, little newborn-- we were seeing the linebacker in him already! He is the sweetest, mellowest baby and totally cooperated for us today...until he decided to be done with napping that is. But he's 6 days old, so that lasted about 30 minutes when he conked back out again. I am so thankful that I was able to be a part of his first amazing week of life! Here, of course, is a quick look into his session. Many more to come!

Little {L} is One! | Santa Rosa Portrait Photographer

Last night I had the opportunity to photograph one of my favoritest little clients! She just keeps on coming back and I LOVE it! Of course the weather was perfect all week, until last night when it was cold and windy and even rained for a minute! But we made it through and got some great shots of our little one year old--well, next week. Here's your sneak peak, guys!

{N} Family Shoot! | Sonoma County Family Photographer

LOVE this family!!! I have had such a blast getting to know this cute family! I felt like I had known them forever during our shoot. It was funny when we discovered our kids go to the same school, and they just live a block away! It was super duper windy when we got to the location, but we decided to check it out anyway...and lucky for us there was no wind where we decided to shoot! Just a billion bugs that started showing up as we were leaving...so nasty! Thanks again you guys!
