Birthday BBQ

So a few months ago in September my dear sister had a BBQ birthday gathering for her family. She has to be one of the most adorable little housewives I've ever known. Dressed in her pretty little plum coloured dress she BBQ'd us all some amazing Jamaican Jerk Chicken while we listened to some Bob Marley. To top the day off her husband made from scratch a chocolate layered cake with a raspberry glaze on top! It was the perfect balance between the raw cocoa and the sweetness of the fruit. Well enough chatter, here are the images! Enjoy!

Lilly Flowers

My beau is the best at making me feel wonderful! A few weeks ago he bought me some beautiful lilies "just because" and I couldn't resist photographing them. I normally dry flowers that are given to me and hang them in my room, but unfortunately lilies don't dry/hang well. So these images will have to do to remember them. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!

365 Day Project

So at the beginning of this year I decided that I was going to start one of those 365 day projects where you take an image each day and post it. I started out strong and determined but as time went along I got busy with not only my two jobs, (Cake decorating and photography) but I started up school again too! (Not to mention I like to have somewhat of a social life :P ) Nontheless I'm not giving it up! Here is my latest image I'd like to share with you. Keep checking my blog each week to see new images! Thanks for reading my friends!

Auburn, California Wedding Photography

Hi friends,
This month brought me to Auburn again for the wedding of Alice & Bill Stephenson. Here are just a few "teasers" for now. A bigger blog on the wedding later!

Marcin & Michelle {The Wedding}

I've been so busy with things this summer I've totally forgotten to blog about all of the weddings I've photographed and helped photographed this year so far! Here are a few from the wedding I assisted Sarah of Sarah Dawson Photography. This wedding was a joy to photograph! It was such a calm, and loving environment! You could just feel how much everyone was in total agreement of this union and the love in the eyes of Marcin and Michelle as they were giving their vows, brought a tear to my eyes. Enjoy these images, my friends!

Brett Andrew Vandenberg

Earlier this year I took family portraits and maternity portraits of the Vandenberg family. Well a few months ago they had their second boy, Brett! They welcomed me back to their home to photograph this new little guy and had some birth announcements designed for them as well. He was such a little darling! I dare say the most well behaved, peaceful little one I've ever seen. Of course he fussed a little (who wouldn't if they were told to sit half naked for a few portraits?! haha!) But he was a good sport and we got some beautiful photos of him. Congratulations again, Sara & Aaron! (oh and to the big Brother too!) I hope you all enjoy these as much as I do!

A dinner party in Auburn

So this month the House 2 Home magazine brought me to Auburn to photograph the delightful Joanne Neft. She started the first Foothill Farmers' Market about 20 years ago, helped start the Mountain Mandarin Festival held in Auburn and is author of "Placer County Real Food Cookbook". Last year Joanne along with Chef Laura Kenny shopped the local farmers market on the weekends and on Monday evenings they would serve eight guests new and simple recipes they had created all from the foods bought at the farmers markets. They recipes are all compiled in this cookbook with all in-season menus all 52 weeks, starting in January and ending in December 2009. As soon as Betsy (the writer) and I arrived at the quaint cottage in the hills we were greeted at the door by the smiling faces of Joanne and Laura. Laura offered us a nectarine puree lemon-aid made fresh that afternoon and a appetizer of fresh salmon and dill dip with baby carrots, radishes and snap peas. Joanne shared with us the history of the farmers' markets start in Auburn and how Laura and her put the cookbook together. I was in heaven with the amazing window light in this house! Then it was time for lunch. Laura prepared steak over a bed of corn, cucumber, avocado and basil salad and bean sprouts and tiny tomatoes on the side. (lunch was made from food bought at the farmers market or from Joanne's personal garden) The portion size was just perfect because next came dessert! A lemon cream meringue with fresh picked blackberries, Raspberries and blueberries. It was so light, creamy and full of fruity flavors! I'm sorry all of you can't taste it, but please enjoy the images and check out her website! I Highly recommend buying this cookbook for yourself (and a friends or two). The recipes are simple, easy and amazingly tasty! Plus how great is it to support your local farmers!? Ok, enough talk and on to the images. Enjoy my friends! :)
