This awesome family is adding a sweet baby boy to the bunch this month!! So excited for them. Isn't Danielle just stunning. Seriously I was dying over her maternity shots. Miss Leilani is just hilarious and so much fun. I loved hanging out with them!

Lorilee is one of my greatest friends and although it was a crazy hot day in October when we did their pictures, we had a great time running all over Knights Ferry. Her little Ethan is 10 weeks older than Ryder and we are determined that they will be best friends. :)

I just adore these next two pictures. I treasure the ones I have of Ryder and I and just love seeing that connection between a mother and her sweet baby.

My cousin came out to visit oh back in August. (YIKES) and while she was here she asked if I could take their family pictures. We headed out to my favorite red barn and got some great shots of her beautiful family.

Cheyenne

Another gorgeous senior girl!! I have known Cheyenne since she was in Jr high with my brother! Again, making me feel pretty old here. :( She laughed at all the crazy places I had her sit/stand etc. What can I say I just love old beat up looking things. She wasn't super excited for her pictures, she has no idea how beautiful she is. When I first posted her pictures she commented that I made her look beautiful. I didn't do anything but capture her beauty but it makes me so happy to help people realize how beautiful they are.

Jessica - Modesto, CA Senior Photographer

Meet the beautiful Miss Jessica. She is a good friend of our family and such a fun, happy girl. I totally freaked myself out before this session because it was right during the height of rattlesnake season. I'm one of those people that has to have an escape from danger plan so I was researching what to do (by asking my awesome hubby) if I ran into a rattlesnake and just started thinking about it so much I freaked myself out. It didn't help that my brother was with us and knew I was freaked out and while I was taking Jess's pictures threw rocks behind me to scare me. It totally worked by the way I screamed and jumped and ran, none of the things you are supposed to do. Fail. We saw critters in abundance but thankfully no snakes and only one yellow spider that was on Adam. Oh what fun, I sure do love my job. :)

Another Session from this summer that I hadn't gotten posted. Sheesh. This was a big extended family shoot and my amazing friend Valeri helped shoot with me. I love when you can just tell how much a family really enjoys each other, they just were so easy going and laid back and it made our job really easy.

Adam Modesto CA Senior Photographer

I can not believe my littlest brother is a senior this year. It really makes me feel old. I seriously love this kid. When I lived in San Diego he would come stay with me for a week in the summer, we'd go to baseball games and the beach and just had a great time. He has grown into a great young man and I'm proud to be his sister. Even though he is a punk, especially taking pictures. He pulled a lot of faces for me.

like this one for example....
