Kent, Liz & Ella - August 2008

I enjoyed spending time with Kent, Liz and Ella this morning in Avila. As soon as they got there the sun starting shining, so I knew it was going to be good. They are such a sweet family, and Ella has the cutest little smile. When I was going through their film I loved every picture. What a photogenic family! You will probably remember Ella from her birthday party in May.

Her first experience with the beach. :) I love her facial expression.

Heidi & Fran {Dance} - August 2008

WAY back in the day I used to dance. I have always loved how beautiful and graceful dancers are. Heidi (who you will remember as my June bride) and Fran were nice enough to volunteer some of their time to help me take some beautiful pictures. I was surprised when going through the set how many I just loved...obviously. Here are some of my favorites.






Can you do this?
How about that?
Amazing!




They are silly girls. ;)

Dacara, Bailey & Hunter - August 2008

This is my aunt and cousins. They are visiting from very HOT Las Vegas, so we cruised down to the beach for a little photo sesh. I couldn't blame the girls for not wanting to sit still long enough for me to take pictures of them. It was such a beautiful day...perfect beach weather.

It's been such a long time since I've seen my aunt, and this is my first time meeting the girls. They are so fun and full of energy. They both have their own quarky little personalities. I'm glad I got to meet and hang out with them and now they have these photos to remember their vacation to California. :)

The Messer Family - July 2008

This is one of my favorite families in the world!!! Erin and I go WAY back, all the way to Jr. High. I couldn't ask for a better friend. Her parents, John and Carol, are two of the nicest people you will ever meet. It's hard not to love them. :) We had a really fun time shooting yesterday. They recently moved from the "country" of Arroyo Grande to the village so we were able to get both houses in and the beach of course. They were cracking me up all day, they have such a fun relationship with each other. They are amazing! I'm happy to be able to capture some beautiful moments for them.

John and Carol are celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary next month. Congratulations!
