“A Baby came to our house not very long ago, And daddy says we’ll keep it here ‘Cause Momma loves it so. I didn’t understand at first; my heart felt very sore. It seemed to me that momma wouldn’t love me anymore. But momma took me in her arms, just as she used to do, […]

I love the Holidays for so many reasons. At the very tip top of my list is how it brings our family together. I love spending quality time with my kids and the Holidays always give me that extra push to do so. No matter how busy my husband and I get, we are always […]

Creatively I’ve always wanted to photograph a family frolicking inside an Orange Orchard. Now that I’ve done it, I’ve concluded it was well worth the wait. I’m also ready to do it again! Something about it feels familiar yet whimsical. The Lizarraga family currently resides on acres and acres of land, and being a farming […]

For whatever reason, Fall in the central valley always eludes us. We go from hot summer nights through most of September, and somewhere near the end of October/early November, Fall will finally show up.

A peek into a journal entry from early September. A reminder that we are humans who fall short and struggle with feelings of inadequacy. God put it on my heart to share it with you all. — It’s morning. A cup of coffee is replaced by hot water and lemon. Sounds of backpacks zippering and […]

There is something so unbelievably magic about film in bright light. As I’ve explored film photography these last few months, I’ve learned quite a bit, and I’m convinced it was made for warm, bright light because, my gosh, the highlights are DREAMY. This family session was initially planned as a Maternity session. But, as we […]
