Reagan [Portraits]

Posted on September 23, 2009

I’m not a super girly girl. Don’t get me wrong, I love the chance to get dressed up, I love high heels and jewelry and all that, but I can just as easily be found sporting jeans, a t-shirt, flip flops and a ponytail. I’ve always sort of envied people who always look classy and gorgeous and put together all the time and my sister-in-law, Natalie, and my niece, Reagan, are always like this. They just have this classic femininity about them that I admire — not the stuffy, unapproachable kind — just comfortable-gorgeous-put-together-classy-ness. Know what I mean?

I wanna be like them when I grow up.

So today, when we ventured out into the rain and mush for Reagan’s one year portraits (could it have really been one year since she was born?), that was my goal — to capture the essence of girliness, beauty, and class that Natalie and Reagan exude. I had fun, girls! And Happy Birthday, Rae-Rae!!

Matt + Cassie [Wedding - Part II]

Posted on September 18, 2009

Matt & Cassie’s wedding reception was held at the beautiful, rustic Grande Hall at the Hoffman Ranch. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite venues. The facility is exceptionally beautiful, spacious, and unique and the staff, I am learning, is top notch. The evening was lots of fun, and, believe it or not, the rain made everything even better. It’s been so long since we’d had any rain at all that everyone was just giddy with excitement! It was awesome!

Matt + Cassie [Wedding - Part I]

Posted on September 18, 2009

As I drove out to Castroville, I watched the dark rain clouds rolling in. I was excited and nervous all at the same time — I wanted the rain, but I wanted it to hold off until after the wedding was over. Matt and Cassie got married on September 5th, and even though it did, in fact, rain most of the evening, that didn’t keep anyone from celebrating the love of these two high school sweethearts. Everything was fun and beautiful, from the beautiful details to the rich and comfortable love between two people who really know and enjoy each other. Thanks Matt and Cassie for making me a part of your amazing day!
