Awesome dessert table with desserts prepared and bought by some of Nicole and Eric’s close friends. And two gorgeous wedding bands designed by Nicole’s talented cousin, Ann. The engagement ring is an antique.

Little pieces added by the bride and groom all around Godric Grove to tie in with their theme of black and white. Before the ceremony began, Eric and Nicole walked about greeting their guests. Here is Nicole looking like something out of a magazine, just being her darling self.

Again, the most memorable thing about this day was how completely at ease Eric and Nicole were with each other and their guests. Candids of them dancing with their mother and then father is proof of that.

And when the bride and groom took the dance floor for their first dance I was smiling from ear to ear. They chose to dance to Taj Mahal’s “Queen Bee”. They sang the lines to each other as they whirled around the dance floor and in my heart I know that they will spend the rest of their lives whirling around in complete awe and love of each other.

“Honey in the honey pot and, your pot is hot
Honey in the honey pot and the pot is what you got
To lova rocka rocka me to my soul
Oh love me to my soul, rock me to my soul
Oh love me to my soul, rock me to my soul”

I love when my clients come to me, they know what they want, they are wearing an outfit they are 100% comfortable in and they know what their best side is, their best smile. Everything.

Thank you Brittany! You rocked your mini senior session, and I appreciate your confidence and your ability to be YOU!

Class of 2011!!! IT IS NEVER TOO EARLY TO BOOK YOUR SENIOR SESSION. CALL ME SO WE CAN GET YOU ON THE BOOKS! (209.834.7048).

I love my family. They are all so crazy.

We believe in slumming it. Hence the athletic shorts, the keepsake knitted cardigan and the oversized Grand Canyon hat from our last road trip.

Doesn’t little Miss O look like the National Geographic cover model from years ago? That’s the look we were going with here. Ha.

Big man on a little bike. Need I say more?

She will kill me later in life. But seriously, E, you picked your little nose a lot last year.

Our little hummingbird visitor! The little bird came back often that summer! Nature right outside my suburban window.

What did you do this Saturday? Family time? Cleaning time? Share, share!

I know that I will have to dab and wipe away a few tears on Saturday because seeing a happy couple say, ‘I do’, never gets old.

And with that, I leave you a quote from Shakespeare:

‘Now join your hands, and with your hands your hearts.’

This gal might look familiar to you! (look above in the header, wait for it, wait for it, there she is!) It’s one of my senior reps from Tracy High School, Audrey.

She is headed to San Jose State in the Fall. Graduation will be here before these seniors know it!

OK, and are you loving all the locations I’ve been finding? Because I love them. Again, I am falling in love with Tracy, CA and “thinking inside the triangle“. I love to see the look on a clients face when I pull up to a location and they’re like, “mmm okay?” And then the final image turns out to be fantastically AMAZING (mainly because I’m amazing, hee hee) but still.

High school seniors, give me a call! I’m booking two weeks in advance! 209.834.7048.

Here’s just a few from her high school senior session a few weeks ago.

The class of 2010 at Tracy High School wouldn’t be complete without her!

So, yeah. If you notice Danny’s face, he was not a happy camper. At. All. So he frowned at me. A lot. And then he was on a mission in the green grass to find bugs. And then he was just ready to leave after making a little circle in the grass. Crazy kid! But, look at his hair. I LOVE IT! So blonde, and it curls up all cute. And his eyes! Love those blue eyes! Remember those eyes from this session? Still shining bright! Little monkey.

But, if you wanna make this kid smile, put his sister next to him with his mama dancing crazy in back of me and you can get some cute smiles from this kid.

Enjoy the rest of you week! And if you need your family portraits updated CALL ME (209.834.7048)! The weather is perfect in the Central Valley for portrait sessions!

But seeing at their level just helps sometimes. It helps chase the grumpies away. It helps release the tension. It just helps.

Have a good week.
