chelsea and adam
We photographed Chelsea and Adam for their engagement photo at the beautiful Superstition Mountain Country Club. They were such a beautiful couple! They were so willing to try everything for their photos and the images turned out amazing. The location was beyond stunning with it's Spanish Colonial Architecture. My personal favorite! We can't wait for their wedding! Watch their slideshow to see more.
lyla
Absolutely adorable. Lyla is just like a little doll. We even put her in a doll pram. She had so many adoring fans during this shoot, it was like paparazzi. Here is her slideshow.

This shoot for Eden's Bouquet was ethereal. Sometimes the light, location, model and clothes all line up to be more beautiful than you ever expected. I love when that happens. It was a gorgeous day and very fun for all of us. Watch the slideshow for more images.
Ambre and Mauricio
Ambre and Mauricio came all the way from France and Bali to get married. They had a beautiful wedding at the Bellagio and an elegant brunch at the exclusive Cascata Golf Club.

Sakkab-Colvin Wedding
Elegant, classic, graceful, beautiful, opulent... words are not enough describe this wedding and the couple that created it. The Four Seasons in Las Vegas was the perfect venue for such an elegant event. You just have to take a look. slideshow
farm boy
Since we had a beautiful farm girl, we had to have a handsome farm boy. Perhaps the girl is really the Princess Bride and perhaps the boy is really the Dread Pirate Robert. I'm not sure, but I do know that we love this location and have not grown tired of it yet! Here's the slide show.
Skye and Tori
Skye and Tori had a gorgeous day for their wedding at the Four Seasons Hotel in Las Vegas last week. The temperature could not have been more perfect. And so was their wedding!

Watch the slideshow to see their day.
Kelly
These are just a few photos of our gorgeous bride, Kelly. Her wedding is coming up soon and we had the pleasure of creating these images around her house in Entrada Country Club. We had beautiful springtime weather and enjoyed every minute of our shoot with her. It is so fun to have time at your disposal for a bridal shoot!
Cover!
We were so excited to find that one of our photos was selected as the cover for this beautiful magazine! Alot of people ask us if this cover photo was a fashion shoot with a model. While we do love shooting fashion, this was a real bride on her beautiful wedding day at the Four Seasons Hotel in Las Vegas. Thank you to Debbie Peysar of Vintage Celebrations and Nicole Hudson of Cellar Door Designs. Most of all- Thank you to our gorgeous bride, Emily.
garden party
Right out of a fairytale- Every little girl should have a birthday party like this! There were little princesses complete with tiaras and lovely garden fairies all around. With butterflies, flowers and pink tulle abounding, how could you go wrong? Right down to the flowers on the cake, this party was delicious! Watch the slideshow to see the fun.
farm girl
Maybe not your everyday farmgirl, but a girl on the farm nonetheless. We could not ask for a more beautiful girl, beautiful day, beautiful dress, or beautiful location. We were having the best time creating these images. I could literally do this everyday. Watch the slideshow to see how the story came together.
rainy day
We had the best time with Amy and Taylor recently. It was raining the entire day but we were undaunted. Umbrellas and amazing locations made for the most romantic portraits ever. Click here to see a slideshow of the afternoon's fun. We are shooting their wedding soon, and I have to say that after having such a great time with them on this shoot, we can't wait for their wedding!
eden's bouquet
We were so excited when asked by Jennifer Senersten of 'eden's bouquet' to photograph her new children's clothing line. Everything she creates is just stunning, and we absolutely love photographing children. Our beautiful model, Emily May, could not have been any more adorable. Was this a job? I don't think so, it was way too much fun! Watch the slideshow to see what a lovely time we had. We hope to work with Jennifer much more in the future. And Emily, too!

Vintage Portrait Session
This portrait session was inspired by Richard Avedon's portraits Of JFK and Jacqueline from 1961. We love the vintage formal charm of these photographs, quite different from anything seen today. I had a great time going to Los Angeles and photographing my clients', Stephanie and Dave, engagement photo for their upcoming wedding. Great idea guys! Thank you.
Henness Vintage
This weekend our dear friends the Hennesses came in town for some family fun. All of us thoroughly enjoyed our time together and even though it was raining we found a few dry minutes to get these pictures. These images look like they are from another era thanks to an old farm road, an old Chevy truck, and some rough and tumble boys! (of course Charlotte added the sugar and spice!) Check out the slideshow.
Renaissance Child
How beautiful is this little Renaissance girl? We had so much fun earlier this week shooting with the Smith Family. We have known them since we shot their wedding about 8 years ago. We have been great friends ever since and and now our children play together! What I love about this image is that it looks like a painting. What a pretty little face. See some more of these images on the slideshow.
Case Parker Swanson
Handsome! Okay, I am extremely biased- but seriously, I did not look this good when I was 12 years old! But then again my mom was not a professional stylist who was going for a kind of Ralph Lauren look. That definitely helps! Believe me, I had to edit out plenty of goofy 12 year old shots! We shot this at a historic site in downtown Santa Clara. Very picturesque.....take a look at the slideshow.......
Jodi and Robert
We had the pleasure of spending the day with Jodi and Robert at The Four Seasons recently. Their wedding day was perfect. Karin at The Four Seasons handled everything flawlessly. Jodi has the most beautiful smile and she just radiated the entire day. It is always such an privilege to work with such wonderful people. You can watch their slideshow to see what a lovely day they had.
The Henness Family
We recently had the pleasure of shooting family portraits for our dear friends the Hennesses. We always have a great time and laugh alot! We were on location at the beautiful Southern Highlands Country Club. But besides just having fun- they look amazing! What a gorgeous family! Have a look at the slideshow.
Swan Lake
Mia Bella and Ryder Jack had quite an adventure at Swan Lake. The swans told the funniest jokes and even shared a secret with them. The secret was an enchanted gazing ball that the children played with for a long time before returning it to Mr. and Mrs. Swan. Everyone had a wonderful time, especially Mom and Dad! Enjoy the slideshow of their merrymaking.
Tamara and Michael
Tamara and Michael were so fun to be with on their wedding day! Not only was their wedding at The Four Seasons in Las Vegas absolutely perfect, but they enjoyed every minute of it! It is very clear by looking at their slideshow just how much fun everyone had! It was our pleasure to capture their special day.
Lenore and Zen
Our dear friends Zen Todd and Lenore finally made it official! They held the fabulous affair at their home in Hollywood Hills surrounded by loved ones and the paparazzi. We were honored to be asked to document the event. As always, it was incredibly difficult to narrow down all of the beauty and emotion into one slideshow! Please enjoy the images- their joy is contagious.

They had such a great group of friends and family there for them, it really made us want to join in the celebration! Once again The Four Seasons was amazing and the Mesquite room and balcony looked beautiful. 
The Four Seasons, Las Vegas
Wow! There is nothing about Emily and Steven's wedding at The Four Seasons that wasn't absolutely stunning. Michelle from Fleur de Lis did another amazing job on all the florals and Barbra Jo Batterman outdid herself with absolutely luminous makeup. Emily and Steven are such a beautiful couple, inside and out. Take a peek at some of the images from their wedding. Truly a fairy tale.
WPPI and Green Valley Ranch Resort
This weekend we had such a great time when our friends came in town for WPPI from Los Angeles.

We had a great time hanging out at Green Valley Ranch and now have fabulous photos of our family as well!

We had such a great time shooting Sophie today. She is gorgeous and was completely natural in front of the camera. We were able to shoot at the Villa Bonita Parade Home in Santa Clara and had a beautiful dress from Bridal Elegance. Thank you, Everyone!
