happy friday everyone!

Stephanie & Jon - Lovebirds

I know Steph has been waiting patiently to see more of these photos, and well, here they are! FINALLY found my lightroom disk (hm. what a concept... it was actually in the box it came in...) got it loaded, and the editing began! It was so hard to pick a few favorites to feature here, but i feel these pretty much summed up the day! We pretty much walked around the whole site, with around every corner going "lets try over here" and "how about right there?" There was so much variety on location, it was pretty much a photographer's dream!
Thanks again to Stephanie and Jon of JSA Photography for being my models for the evening :)

Stephanie & Jon - Peek

Fun little "faux wedding" session held this past thursday at the Sacramento LDS temple. I've known Stephanie for quite some time now, possibly back to 7th grade when we were in advanced band together (hah wow. that long?) all the way through high school. She married her sweetheart jon after she graduated high school, and they'll be celebrating 5 years this november! These two were awesome enough to help me work on building my portfolio this summer, and i couldn't thank them enough! Here is a peek, and believe me, there are more to come!
p.s. needless to say, steph is the queen of uber cute shoes :)

Oreggo Family - Peek

One of my March of Dimes photo session families :) Little Alex is just a year and a half, and was so much fun to photograph. We had our session at the McHenry Mansion in Modesto, CA. Such a great little location, full of different settings within the one area!

family session

a couple weekends ago, i photographed alexis and her family out at beal's pointe, which is one of the entries to folsom lake in granite bay. alexis was a freshman when i was in high school, and i got excited when she came to me, asking about doing this as a mother's day present for her mom this year. the white and denim was a great choice, and the lake had so many fun settings, just on ONE side that we walked down. i imagine if we had gone around the whole area, we could have been there for HOURS shooting :) more pictures are avalible for viewing over on facebook for now.

new summer promotion :)

june is here, and its time for a new promotion! so here it is!
buy one session - possibilities are endless! families, friends, pets, children, etc. you name it, it can probably be considered a session :)
get your second session half off! - you can either use this as a break down session (i.e. your family group, and then do just the kids) or give it to a friend as a gift! someone have a new baby? someone about to graduate? again, endless possibilities!
This will make your first session $55, and your second session just $27.50
there are only a few "catches"
- only one half-price session per full priced session.
- once session fee is paid, it is not refundable.
- groups larger than 5 faces will still need to add $5 per additional head.
- session fee only covers the time of the portrait session, plus the post editing of the images... it does not include any final sheet purchasing. purchasing by the sheet is $8 for (1) 8x10 (2) 5x7 or (8) wallets.
