Come in, have a seat & stay awhile...

Miss Katie

I just cannot describe how much a love the Fry Family.  Yep, almost enough to eat ‘em up!  Pun intended.  When asked to shoot Miss Katie Fry’s Senior Session I was so excited!  I had lots of ideas RUNNING through my head.  The obvious choice was to shoot Katie running cross-country, since that’s where she spends most of her time.  She was recently chosen as Tulare County’s Athlete of the Year, after four brutal years of beating & holding many records.  In addition to all that she’s accomplished, she is one of the most admirable humans I’ve met.  She’s always first to smile, first to laugh, and first to hug.  She’s a remarkable young lady.

Here are just a few of my favorites from the day.







Thank you, Katie, for sharing your afternoon with me! I had a great time frolicking in the foothills with you!

Joubert Family

Love, Love, Love the Joubert’s! Momma-Erin & I first met in high school…wait – maybe it was junior high.  Either way, we didn’t meet back up until many years later, upon a recommendation of needing a sign made.  You see, Erin’s delightful family owns Visalia’s Awards & Sign’s Unlimited.  She hooked me up with fabulous window decals at the first studio.  Then, I later shot the images for her Leukemia & Lymphoma Society thank you cards.

Recently, we visited a beautiful place she tends to spend a lot of time at, The Woodlake Rodeo Grounds.  Daughter, Ellie, is a sassy little squirt but has big enough britches to be riding with the Riatta girls.  Son, Derrick, couldn’t wait to jump on his dirt bike to kick up some dust.

Check out a few of my favorite images from the day.







Thank you, Erin, from the bottom of my heart! I had a great time playing with the kids in one of my favorites settings! xox

Rejuvenated, Prepared & Inspired!

Hello everyone! I’m back, after a crazy summer of moving the studio, and hot off the tracks of a VERY inspiring trip to Vegas (for WORK, that is!) And, it all comes right in time for one of the busiest seasons in photography. I recently shot my own kiddos, in preparation of yours. Take a look at this cool slideshow that now is included in every session I shoot! Well, with YOUR images of course!! :) And don’t forget, patience is a virtue! Let the entire video load before watching, or you’ll go crazy from anticipation!
