One of the pleasures of being a wedding photographer in Fresno is those extra special, early summer, rogue heat waves that show up every year before we're used to 100+ degree days. And by pleasure I mean pain, haha! This was one of those weddings. It was so hot that the local news even visited the rehearsal the day before their wedding because it was forecast to hit 108, 110 - something crazy whatever it was. I loved that Lacie and Chris didn't let the heat phase them at all. Of course the reception was a dressed down affair, but their spirits were riding high all day and the moments were fantastic all around. And as a message to all those brides

Mark took a drive south to hang out with the Jaurigue family at their home. They got to meander through the vineyards that have been in Paul's family for generations. It's really neat to look at these images and know that someday little Manny will have these memories of growing up on the farm! Manny is a super-cute kid (as you can see) and the Fogartys were a bunch of fun for Mark to hang out with: laid-back and easy going! Enjoy some of our favorites from the day!

The Dwiggins are one of my best clients - having come to me for their wedding, maternity, and newborn sessions. This time I got a chance to see their adorable little girl for a 1-year session at Millerton Lake among the lush green grasses and wildflowers.

Being two means picking flowers, playing with sticks, swinging on your parents arms, and, of course running away from them as fast as your little legs will carry you! Mason managed to do all of that and more when I met the Bautista family for their portrait session. Here are a few of my favorites.

The Sloan Family | Family Portraits | Fresno, CA

The Sloan Family | Family Portraits | Fresno, CA

I was happy to work with The Sloan family again! They are former wedding clients just getting ready to add a new addition to their family so, they thought they'd do one last portrait session where little Madison was the main event. She loved her peach rings and tootsie pop - Num Num!

The Crafton Family | Family Ranch Portrait Session | Madera, CA

Brian and Kristine are former wedding clients who have added sweet little Colby to their family! The family spent some time out in the orchards where Colby roamed a bit through the green grasses and got his hands dirty doing hard work on his grandpa's tractor. Enjoy a few highlights from the day:

The Booker Family and I took advantage of an afternoon without rain in Old Town Clovis. I love the cheeks on this sweet baby boy! Check out a few of my favorite shots from the day.

This Christmas is a special one for the Compolongo family as they await the arrival their new little one. We headed to Woodward Park for their last portrait session as a family of three. We had some leafy adventures with Zuma, the adorable bulldog! On second thought, this is their last portrait as a foursome as they wait to become a family of five!

The Crow Family | Fall Family Portraits | Fresno, CA

The Crow Family | Fall Family Portraits | Fresno, CA

Here's the latest installment from one of my favorite families. I've had the honor to photograph Nora and Brian's wedding, maternity, Dylan's newborn session, his 6 month portraits, and now this little guy is getting less little and he's turned one! To celebrate the occasion we headed out to the park and played for awhile. And in spite of being a little sick, and a couple minor head injuries typical in a little person learning to walk, he powered through and did a fabulous job. Enjoy!
