Ashtyn - Just Because

Tuesday, May 27, 2008

With the long holiday weekend and my husband Jon on vacation, Ashtyn and I had just a girls' weekend. We went shopping, had dinner, ran errands, and bought this cute little pink, fuzzy chair that will go perfect in her new room. But, it was such a nice day outside, so I wanted to take some new photos of her. So, we brought the new pink, fuzzy chair outside for some fun in the sun.
Here are a few of my favorites...

Not sure what she was looking at, but she sure looks cute.

Showing mommy her teeth (she doesn't "smile" - but she will show you her teeth)

And these last two are some of my absolute favorites of all time...we were sitting outside, when all of the sudden we had this big gust of win whip through the back yard....she started laughing and screaming with delight....I LOVE being a MOM !!!!



Baby Hannah

So, I am so excited to say that we welcomed the newest addition to our family on March 31, 2008. Miss Hannah Elizabeth Hosler joined our family at 8:30 pm and weighed in at a whopping 7 pounds and measured 20 inches long. 
I was never able to post Hannah's mom (Krista) pregnancy photos that we took mid-March...so I am posting a couple of her photos followed by the beautiful Hannah Elizabeth. 
Ashtyn absolutely adores and loves her new baby cousin and we are so blessed to have this new addition to our family. Girl Power !!!!

I loved this shot out in their backyard...the sun was starting to set and we got some beautiful flare for fun...




I love this shot in their bedroom, because you can see their engagement photo (taken in Yosemite) that was signed at their wedding. Andy had it custom framed as a gift. 

We did this same shot when Andy and Krista were pregnant with their first child, Benjamin....had to do the repeat and keep the tradition going.


INTRODUCING...Miss Hannah Elizabeth Hosler...
GORGEOUS !!!!






My favorite...I think she is sticking out her tongue directly at me for taking all of the photos of her all afternoon. I'm just such a proud Aunt !!!



Marni + Ben - Engagement - Crissy Field

Sunday, May 18, 2008

I met up with Marni and Ben today to shoot some engagement photos of them at Crissy Field in San Francisco. This was actually the first time I had photographed there - and I absolutely loved it. I can't wait to go back. I normally shoot on the other side of the Golden Gate Bridge at Baker Beach, but this spot is just as fabulous. On a clear day, you get a wonderful view of the bridge in the background, but today was very foggy and overcast so no GG Bridge. However, it was a perfect day for photos at the beach and in the park. We started at the beach and worked our way over to the beautiful, lush green grass, which is a treat for me, as I usually do most engagement sessions at the beach.

What can I say about Marni and Ben....I LOVE THEM !!!! They made me feel so relaxed, that I didn't feel as if I was working at all. I felt like I was spending a day with two friends and I just happened to have my camera and took a few photos of them. They are genuinly nice people who care about and respect one another. I love everything about them...I love Marni's bright blue eyes and big beautiful smile and how it made me smile....and Ben, I loved the way he looked at Marni when he didn't know I was looking. It is so nice to see a couple together who really love each other and who can't wait to spend the rest of their lives together.

Marni and Ben, thank you for a wonderful morning together. I can't wait until September for your wedding....I feel so honored and blessed that you chose me to capture one of the most special days of your life.

There were so many gorgeous photos to choose from, but here are a couple of my personal favorites:




















Ashtyn - Just Because

Thursday, May 8, 2008

So, this is my first personal post. I've been wanting to post some photos of my family, but just haven't had the time. That sounds terrible, doesn't it? So, here is the very first post of my daughter Ashtyn. I LOVE her to pieces. But taking photos of her is probably one of the hardest things I do. She absolutely hates to have the camera in her face. So, I have to put my long lens on and step back - then I just let her go. Today she is not feeling well, but she actually smiled for a few photos. And yes, she is a complete ham....
Enjoy...

My absolute favorite of the day...she's a cheeseball like her daddy :)


OK, what the heck is this? Who is she trying to be - Heide Klum?



She looks so innocent...don't let this image fool you. She's a handful !!!

Lauren & Jon - April 12 Wedding - Part 2

Well, I've been wanting to do a "Part 2" of Lauren and Jon's wedding - but I wanted to wait until I received my girl Rizza's photos. As I said before, she is an amazing photographer and friend, so I wanted to be able to showcase her work as well. I'll be noting which amazing photos are hers. I tossed a few more of mine in there as well.
Again, Lauren and Jon, thank you for such an amazing day full of "life, laughter and love". We all had such a great time !
Just a note...we are planning a "Trash the Dress" shoot with Lauren in June. So make sure to keep checking the blog for those photos.


Rizza's gorgeous photo of Lauren's dress.

I asked Rizza to try and get this shot. I've been wanting to do it for a while. She nailed in perfectly.

This is another shot I wanted...Rizza nailed it again. GORGEOUS !!!!

Gorgeous Groom....

Another shot of the ceremony site at Ruby Hill. Perfect day for a wedding !!!





Rizza took this amazing shot of the bridesmaids strutting for the camera.





I just love this one because of the expression on Jon's face...PRICELESS !





I always like to take at least one "formal" shot of the bridal party...but this is GORGEOUS !!!

Rizza's image....AMAZING, GORGEOUS, YUMMY LIGHT !!!

Rizza capturing the bride & groom during their grand entrance into the ballroom.

A couple of yummy details....



And this last one is one of my favorites....this is one of the hardest shots to ever take. You hardly ever get this view over the cake, but Rizza did it and it is PERFECT !!!

Huge thanks and hugs to all of my girls who worked that day: Rizza, Karen and Heather. It was an absolute pleasure working with you all that day !!! CHEERS !!!
