Johnson Family

I am really behind on blogging! Oh man...but here's the follow-up post to the sneak peak below.  Last weekend I did a day of family mini-sessions for Holiday cards. Check out these cuties! There were so many cute pictures, but these are my favorites...More to come in the near future!

The littlest kids really dictate the show, but it helps when you have a big sis like this to help you keep everyone in place!! (below)

For the record, in the pictures below this little guy was coming right at me with that stick. Hey, I'll tolerate anything for a cute picture ;-)

Family photos: sneak peak!

I am in the process of sorting through pictures from a couple of family shoots so stay tuned for 3 more posts coming this week! Here's a little sneak peak of one of the little cuties!!! Ohhhh those eyes...

Taylor and Elizabeth: Married!

I met both Taylor and Elizabeth in college - separately. Little did I know that one day the two would be married and I would be their wedding photographer! The two were married in Las Vegas last weekend and it was an absolutely beautiful day. They planned their wedding in just a couple of months and I was so impressed with the outcome - Elizabeth didn't forget a single detail! Here are some of my favorites from their wedding day. Elizabeth and Taylor, I hope you guys had a wonderful honeymoon and I wish you all the best as you start your life together :-) Thanks for allowing me to be a part of your special day!

Could there be a more perfect backyard for a wedding?? (below)

Taylor and Elizabeth: Sneak Peak!

Last weekend I headed out to Las Vegas to shoot Elizabeth and Taylor's wedding. It was the perfect backyard wedding with no detail forgotten. I'll be gone at a conference for the next couple of days, so check back for the full post early next week....but for now, a little teaser :-)

Dave & Shana: Married!

Last Saturday I had the pleasure of shooting with Kevin Wynn, a photographer based out of Ojai where I grew up. Little did I know that the bride and I actually went to high school together! I immediately recognized Shana when we walked in to take some getting ready pictures, and it turns out she was the lead in the musical (42nd Street) my freshman year of high school. She was still exactly as I remembered her - beautiful, genuine and extrememly funny! :-) Dave and Shana own Three Ring Entertainers in Ojai and their wedding was the perfect expression of their ability to put on a good show! There were fun moments, touching moments and silly moments and all together the day was perfect! Special thanks to Kevin Wynn for having me along!

I loooooooved her birdcage veil:

Putting on the final touches:

Dave and Shana opted for a first look. I love Dave's expression as he turns around to see Shana for the first time:

We headed to a local antique store for some portraits:

During the ceremony:

Beautiful details at the reception. They gave away clown noses as favors!!

Some candid moments:

Dave and Shana set up a "photobooth" for their guests. Such a great idea! Here are some of my favorites:
