Yucca Valley Photpgrapher - VanHulten Family Session

I had so much fun on this session! Travis and Amy have such a beautiful family, and I got such a kick out of their 3 year old little girl, Claire. When her mommy introduced her to me, the first thing she did was walk over and hug my legs. It was the cutest thing ever! That right there started the session off right for me:)
During the session, I found out that Amy and I went to the same high school in Moreno Valley, and that we lived just down the road from each other, kinda crazy, huh?
I love that Travis brought his fireman gear, and wanted to incorporate it into the pictures. Their older daughter Paige wants to be a firefighter, so she was super eager to get in the hat and have her picture taken. I love all of the ones of the kids in the their daddy's gear.
This was one of those sessions that truly reminds me how much I love my job, and that I am so blessed to be able to share in peoples memories:)

Yucca Valley Photographer - Katie's Sr. Session in Temecula, CA

This girl is so much fun! She was up for anything I suggested, and she also gave some great ideas herself. We actually took these pictures in Temecula on Thanksgiving, and it was so perfect because the place was empty, and we had a great light with a wonderful cloud cover!
So, Katie loves mustaches. While at her house, I saw 2 bumper stickers on her car with mustaches, one taped to her computer monitor and mouse, and a huge mustache pillow on her bed. So that picture with her making a mustache with the flower just cracks me up! I had so much fun taking these photos, I didn't even want to stop when our Thanksgiving dinner was ready to eat. I think I could of gone all day. Thanks Katie! It was great hanging out with you:)

Yucca Valley Family Photographer - Jones-Poland Family Session

I love taking these little girls pictures!!! Every time I've been to their house for a session, I get so much joy out of being around all of them. They're so girly and full of life! And I was so happy to meet the new addition to the family, Daphne. She is a such a cutie pie, just like her 3 sisters.
The girls showed off their piano playing skills, and dancing skills for me. I was very impressed. Especially the piano playing skills of little Penelope, who is 3. The picture below of her playing the piano is one of my favorites. I love the look on her face and her chubby little fingers on the keys, so precious! I found myself smiling over the past week as I sat here and edited they're pictures. They're all so cute, and they made my heart happy as I stared at they're cute little faces! Thanks for having me guys! Click HERE for the gallery
