Read MorePhotos Just So Goes to Oregon
This June, Justin and I were lucky enough to shoot the wedding of two of our favorite people in the world - old friends from back in our graduate school days. With camera gear stowed safely in the trunk of our car, we trekked our way up to Roseburg, Oregon and photographed their gorgeous garden nuptials. Our friends are private people and prefer that we don't include shots of their faces or those of their guests, but we couldn't resist sharing a few of our favorite details from this vintage-linen-filled wedding.

Read MoreSarah + Josh's Family Portrait Session // Ceres, CA
We love shooting in an almond orchard as much as the next Central Valley photographer, but it's nice to get the opportunity to shoot in one outside of blossom season - it's something different. This family portrait session, which Sarah and Josh traveled all the way from the Bay Area to do, really captures summer in Modesto. The resulting photos are full of green leaves, leading lines and dramatic lighting from all that summer dust.

We could not have asked for a more beautiful day - or location - for Solana and Kevin's engagement shoot. Lush green grasses, wildflowers and waning sun? Yes, please. Of course, the gorgeous location and light are only a backdrop for what really shines through in the photos: Solana and Kevin's boundless love.

There are fairytale themed weddings and then there are weddings straight out of a fairytale – Mary Ella and Jeremiah’s was the latter. The venue was Rockefeller Lodge in San Pablo, California, and its outcroppings of moss and giant folk-art-carved door were already pure magic. Add in Mary Ella and Jeremiah’s garden gnome reception details, her enchanting red shoes and the enormity of their love and let’s face it: you can’t get much more fairytale than that.
Read MoreRoland's Rainy Day Newborn Portrait Session // Modesto, CA
One of the biggest joys of this job is getting to see a family grow over time. This portrait session was a special one for us because little Roland is the second baby in the family that we've been lucky enough to shoot. It feels like only yesterday that his big sister was this size - they grow up too fast! Welcome to the world, Roland, and congratulations on joining such an awesome family unit!
