A new beginning

This past weekend I photographed the Jensen family. Marcy and Brandon just became proud parents of their first little boy. He was such a great baby, especially since we were taking off all of his clothes and making him lay in awkward baskets right beside the ocean. He fought sleep but finally gave in towards the end of the session when light was just perfect. Personally I think he knew we needed to wait for that golden light. Smart baby.

Here's a few of my favorites.

Surf's up

I was super impressed by this 18 year old as I watched him dive into 50 some degree water without hesitation so that I could capture some surfing images to commemorate his senior year of high school. I waded into the water calf deep, and by the end of the session my feet were numb. In my mind, only intense passion can drive a person to brave those frigid conditions.

Senior portraits should represent passion. Whether it's cooking, art, sports or academics...show off your individuality. These photos are meant to mark the ending of an era, so be creative and show the person you've become.

Lasting relationships

 

One of the most wonderful and rewarding parts about my job as a photographer is that I'm not only photographing the outside beauty of people, but I get to experience a deeper look into their heart and minds.

Four years ago, Erin was recommended to me by a good friend for maternity photos. I feel like I've been a tiny part of the growth as their family ever since. Ethan has gone from a bump in the belly to an active three year old boy that for the first time this year could carry on a conversation with me. I always thought there was only so much room in my heart, but as I meet more and more people and become a part of their life I realize the heart has no limits.

It is really important to me that you walk away happy and with photographs that will instill lasting memories, but I want all of my clients to know that with each and every session I walk away feeling blessed to be the one to whom you share your these intimate moments.

Now enough of that sap...here's some photos, past and present...
