Engagement

Kaitlin and Chas | Ranch Engagement Session | Clovis, CA

Kaitlin and Chas are getting married next year at the beautiful Holman Ranch in Carmel Valley - a gorgeous venue that I'm really excited to work in! This post though, is all about their engagement session on the family ranch just outside Clovis, CA. The day was an incredible one with electric blue sky and a clear views of the foothills and Sierras in the background. Aside from that one time when they sat down next to a HUGE RATTLESNAKE, everything was fantastic. Yeah, I said rattlesnake, and no, I suck, I didn't get a picture - I was too amazed at the site of one of the largest rattlesnakes I've had the pleasure of meeting in nature. Take a look at

Ashley and Leo | San Joaquin River Parkway Engagement Session | Fresno, CA

We went to one of my most popular locations for Ashley and Leo's engagement session; hitting the trail that runs along the San Joaquin River and Friant Rd. Even though I have shot here many times, it seems that there's always a new way to shoot it. I was so glad we pushed this session back a week - the 95 degrees was so much nicer than 109 would have been! Check out my favorites!

Grace and Chris | Destination Engagement Session | Paso, SLO, and Avila Beach

Grace and Chris asked to shoot at the wineries in Paso Robles and, since Chris is a Cal Poly SLO grad, a little in downtown San Luis Obispo. So that's what we did, and since you can't drive all the way to San Luis Obispo from Fresno and NOT go to the beach, we did that as well just for good measure. I know I had a blast, and Grace and Chris both agreed at the end of the session that it was actually fun and not nearly the painful, agonizing experience they thought having their pictures taken was going to be. ;)

Shannon and Luis | Ranch Engagement Session | Clovis, CA Foothills

Shannon and Luis are a medical powerhouse all the way from Miami. Well Shannon grew up here and Luis is from Spain, but they're a couple of doctors who'll be making their home in Miami after the wedding. We shot the session on Shannon's family's ranch. You've probably driven past it driving down Auberry Rd - it's the one with the fresh cherries and vintage trucks parked just inside the fence.
