Taylor | Urban Portrait Session | Fresno, CA

Taylor is a high school student from the Clovis area and she's really in to photography so when her mom saw the Groupon offer we ran a few months ago she snapped it up. It was blast walking around downtown, hanging out and talking photography with someone so excited about it and getting started with it so early. It's how I started out and it's a good way to go. Enjoy a few of my favorites from the session.

Chelsie and Brett | Holland Park West Wedding | Fresno, CA

Woah, it was hot! Like 100 million degrees or something like that, but Chelsie looked amazing and no one let it get them down! I also had my associate photographer Craig Kohlruss out with me for this one to shoot a little and to give me a little backup - a couple of the images here are his as well. It was cool to get back out to Holland Park as I haven't been there in a couple of years, it's as beautiful as ever! Twas a great day that ended with Chelsie and Brett taking off in one of the coolest get away cars I've seen. Check out a few of my favorites from the day!

Natalie and Curtis | Holy Trinity and Banker’s Ballroom Wedding | Fresno, CA

Sometimes you get a couple with so much spirit and energy that the whole day, as busy and intense as it can be, doesn't even seem like work - not even a little bit. Natalie, Curtis, their friends and especially their family were a joy to spend the day with. So much energy, love and excitement surrounded everything about the day. It was a tough challenge to narrow down all the great images for this post. Take a few minutes and enjoy this snapshot of their wedding day.

The Crow Family | Dylan’s Six Month Portraits | Fresno, CA

Nora and Brian are great clients and friends of mine - I shot their wedding a few years ago, then the extended family, then a maternity session and Dylan's newborn pictures - and now that's he's hit that magic 6 month mark it was time for another session! I love this little guy, between those big cheeks and and giant brown eyes, he's going to be a lady killer. Enjoy some of my favorites!

Kathy and Jesse | Wolf Lakes Garden Wedding | Fresno, CA

Kathy and Jesse were married at beautiful Wolf Lakes Park in the Garden on an unseasonably cool May day. We were treated to the most amazing skies which we took full advantage of during the portrait sessions. They also brought their adorable little dog, even dressing her in a little tutu for her walk down the aisle during the ceremony. I love dogs, so you'll have to forgive the number of pictures of her in the slideshow! Kathy and Jesse are both a riot and I love how expressive they both were. Take a few, and enjoy some of my favorite images from the day!
