Each portrait session has its own personality – that’s what makes this job so much fun! This session had lots and lots of personality. Isabella is just plain fun and entertaining to follow around with a camera. She is nonstop motion and jibber-jabber. I kind of wish that photographs also captured sound as well because that would be endless entertainment! Scott and Erika are so great with her too! They have lots of love to give and even more with another baby on the way! Congratulations!!
It was really hard to narrow the photos down to merely a handful of favorites! Here they are!
the diehl family

I was blessed to be able to go out to Loma Linda, CA to photograph the Diehl family. I have known Shani for several years but hadn’t met her husband yet, or their son. The entire weekend was a great time but the photo session was the highlight of my trip. We started in the backyard, then went to the tennis court and then the golf course. We even managed to get Shani’s parents in the photos too – what a wonderful bonus! The Diehl family spends a lot of quality family time on the golf course, just a few minutes from their home, so it was the perfect way to end the session. Matthew is going to be a great golfer in a few years and give his dad a run for his money!
Thank you to the Diehl family for inviting me into your home and allowing me to capture memories for your family! I hope you enjoy several of my favorites from the session.
He has such a great swing! He makes great contact with the ball too and he was gunning for me out in the fairway! :)
This guy is AWESOME out of the sand! He was flopping them within kick-in distance!
holli and todd are married!

We’ve been anxiously waiting for this wedding for months- mostly because we’d seen Holli’s wedding scrapbook- and we knew what a beautiful, laid-back event it would be! Holli is a wedding planner extraordinaire and had every detail down, she did all the decorating herself, made her own cake toppers, centerpieces, and programs. She even thought to bring a matching green hanger for the detail shots we would do of her dress! Holli and Todd, we love you guys. You are so much fun, so complimentary and you’ve got to be the two nicest people on the face of the earth! We hope you enjoy this preview of your beautiful wedding.
Holli, like Alysa, is a huge fan of the Little Mr. and Little Miss book series. Each bridesmaid found a book that corresponds with her personality waiting by her shoes. And you guessed it- Mr. Tall is for Todd!
The boys were so anxious to see the girls that they snuck a peak from their dressing room during the girls’ session. Would you believe that Todd resisted the urge because he wanted to wait to see his bride when he was supposed to?
We mentioned Holli’s expertise at matching everything perfectly, right? Well, they found this orange and green bug while doing the girls’ pictures. Instead of freaking out, Holli took it as a good omen that a bug that matched her colors would make an appearance the morning of her wedding. It is possibly the coolest bug I’ve ever seen!
What a gorgeous bride! Well, done, Todd!
Todd bought matching Converse sneakers for each groomsmen with their names stitched into the side. Alan was quite jealous. You’ll see Todd’s coming up…
Another reason we love this couple- they wrote their vows and then read them off of their iPhones! And, you guessed it, Holli’s was green!
We love these little handmade cake toppers. Holli even painted them to match their clothes! Oh, and notice Todd’s Rice Krispie treat groom’s cake! It was a big hit.
Congratulations again, you two. Happy one week anniversary!
