The wild thing about having a toddler who is your baby is that all of a sudden she’s not the baby anymore. Just like that, she seems so big, so much older.

March 19 was one of those early spring days in northern California where you knew rain was in the forecast, you just didn’t when it was going to start and for how long. According to Harrison, it didn’t make a bit of difference to him, he was marrying Sarah, the love of his life. Indoor, outdoor…let’s just do it! Having been a bride with the experience of a full-on downpour on our mostly outdoor wedding, I’m empathetic to this and am able to help keep my couples focused on what is most important if needed. “Wet bride, lucky bride”,  “A…

Of course, this Cal Poly Environmental Science major (to be) can easily become “one” with these beautiful branches of an old fallen tree in a field of late afternoon light. Kaitlin is as kind as they come and those green eyes and gorgeous whispy locks frame that beautiful smile thAt sets you at ease the moment you meet her.

A little nervous at first, to be in front of the camera, like many…but about 20 minutes in we had our rhythm dialed in and I saw the moment she started relaxing and having fun with it. Kayla’s such a natural beauty with a kind, sweet and gentle personality. At Pondo she plays soccer and rugby and loves to spend time with her friends. Next year she plans to attend GSU (Grand Canyon…

After graduation Anthony enlisted and is now stationed in Fort Riley, Kansas after his deployment in Kuwait for 9 months.

“When I hear that robin sing Well I know it’s coming on spring Oo we and we’re starting a new life” Van Morrison, Starting a New Life Miss Claire can’t wait to meet her new little sister at the end of this month, but until then, it’s all about this spunky toddler. She’s just as you’d imagine any toddler to be- curious, cute, adventurous and of course, sometimes demanding. Standing on the shoreline, Claire kept pointing at the lake and then to Dan- saying, “FISH”!  Was it a noun, a verb? Not sure but I do think the gist was…
