These two are SO into each other! I love their love for each other and I cannot wait for their October wedding in Colorado!

Mason Schroder
Mason is a designer, photographer, amazing dancer and was a super fun second shooter at last weeks wedding. Give him some love and check out his work here.
Laura & Charles
Not having met this New York couple before the actual wedding day, I had no idea what to expect- but Laura and Charles could not have been more wonderful! After only spending 5 minutes with them, anyone could see that they have something truly special. I loved seeing her nose wrinkle when he made her laugh and hearing how he reminded her of how beautiful she is every 10 minutes. Thanks to their...
Engagement photos: Faye & Kyle
I’ve known Faye and Kyle for a few years now and couldn’t be more thrilled that they are getting married in October!
I remember about 4 years ago, when I was starting to be interested in photography, Faye told me I would photograph her wedding one day. Of course at the time I thought she was out of her mind…
I think when you’re starting out at doing something you love,...
Senior Photos: Haley Pickerell
I’ve known this pretty girl since she was in 4th grade.. so I pretty much felt like an old fart during the whole session..
weird smile.. but I was in fact REALLY happy :)
Hayley girl, you have developed into such a beautiful woman. I can’t wait to hear all about your wonderful Sonoma experiences and I can’t wait to see where God takes you...
new chapter, new look
I’m excited to say I’m halfway done with being re-branded! I’m getting a new site, logo and business cards! Hey, maybe I’ll even get LIVESTRONG inspired rubber bracelets and headbands for people to wear to promote my little photo business!
Here’s a little sneak peek at whats to come:
I CANNOT wait for my new site to go live in a monthish. Stay tuned :)
Krissa & Nick Sneak Peek

Aimee got a bug off my hat for me. I’m pretty sure she is my new favorite model now.
the Tetard/Grilli boys
a few weeks ago I got to hang out with some studs..

Emily Agenjo
Ladies and gentlemen..this is Emily Agenjo..
I love these pictures extra because I love her.
She is a wonderful writer, talented photographer and amazing friend :)
BAM!
and lastly,
Kathleen & Isaac
Kathleen and Isaac are awesome. I couldn’t have picked a better bride and groom to start the wedding season off with.
Their wedding was FUN! We’re talking about 3 Trekki references during the ceremony, a father-of-the-groom who did Beyonce’s Singles Ladies dance when I was taking pictures of him, costume designed Giants jerseys, Wall-E & Eva pie toppers and guests who...
Becca's lovely flowers
Becca Howden is FABULOUS! I worked with her at a wedding this last weekend and she did such a beautiful job on the bouquet and boutonnietes. I can’t wait to share those with you soon… I just love seeing how she adds her romantic and unique touch to her creations. I’m looking forward to working with her again this wedding season :)
Here is her latest work of genius:

Danielle Alvari.
This is the second time I’ve photographed this gorgeous girl and I hope its not the last.
Danielle needed a few more shots for her modeling portfolio (keep your eyes out for her, shes gonna be the next Miss America I know it!).
Here are some of my favorites:

Daniel.
Meet Daniel. He’s a cutiepie..
Help For Japan
Katie & Johnny
Walking into the San Francisco house Katie grew up in, I immediately felt at home. The Irish teacups with Belleek designs on them, the quaintly patterned couches, and the paintings of the Irish countryside reminded me of my Grandparents home.
Katie’s excitement before the ceremony was heartwarming and contagious- so contagious that I wish I could have put down my camera and been a...
Catherine.
just found this photo I took a year ago..
Meet Baby Conner
…he is a stud
on assisting
Yesterday I was on my way to a meeting with a client when I passed the photography studio I worked at when I was 18 years old (and by “working at”, I mean I shadowed this wonderful, warm and helpful portrait photographer a few times). I carried around his gear (that weighed more than I did) and tagged along with him to some of his photo shoots. I remember going home after the first day, my shoes...
Taryn & Nathan
More to come soon :)
Julia & Eli
A little bit ago I had pleasure of photographing engagement pictures for the wonderful Julia and Eli! They are one of those sweet couples that just fit and I loved getting to know them better during the session. A few months ago, Joel and I met up with Julia and Eli to grab coffee and discuss their weddings plans. At that time Eli hadn’t ever heard of engagement shoots. So you better believe I was...

the "office"
This is where I spend most of my days. This is where I spend hours in photoshop and email land. This is where I will get carpal tunnel. This is my boyfriend on a Friday night (my boyfriend that gets extremely dusty every other day). This is what I’m looking at when I realize I haven’t blinked for 3 whole minutes. This is where I want to be after a photoshoot. This is my favorite part...
I love Brides
..even if its just for pretend.
Last week I blogged a few images from my shoot with Salon Vivace and here are some more!
and no, these images are not over photoshopped. this model is just really THAT pretty :)

Katelyn Rossler
There are not nice enough words in the dictionary to describe Miss Katelyn.
Basically she is the sweetest human being on planet earth.. AND she is gorgeous.. AND she laughs super easily.. AND she has red hair and freckles (hey, I love me some gingers).
I had such a great time a few weeks ago getting coffee with Katelyn and roaming around San Francisco looking for photogenic locations to stop...
Adrienne Sulger..
is a babe.
This post is just some of the photos I did for Salon Vivace.. more coming soon!
Sarah & Tyler!
I love that I love my boyfriends friends.
Tyler and Sarah are good people and I was so honored to be able to shoot their engagement photos the last time I was visiting Southern California.
Here are some of the many photos from our shoot that make me smile:
and whats a photoshoot without a little trespassing? I MAY have forced them to do a few shots in a random persons backyard,...
Kaylee & Chris get married!
Its official. Kaylee is a married woman. And Chris, the boy I went to kindergarten with, is a husband. Yup, I’m smiling while typing this out.
Chris and Kaylee are perfect together. They are gracious and loving and they celebrate their life and laugh freely. Chris is a strong man who served in Iraq and loves challenging himself. But what is most beautiful is how gentle and sweet he is with his...
Jaime & Dave
Jaime is the girl next door… Literally.
Well actually she lives 3 houses down, BUT STILL!
And now shes with Dave who is just as sweet and awesome.
I had such a fun time with them during our photoshoot in San Francisco. Here are some of my favorite shots:
the beautiful Miriam Wassei
Miriam is one of the prettiest and funniest people I know and if I could photograph her every week I would!
ok how amazing is her hair??
Sneak Peek!
It happened! Kaylee and Chris are married!
This wedding was a blast! I can’t wait to do a full blog post..
a few photos are up on the fb, check it :)
Happy New Year!
I sat down at dinner a few days ago, and as I wrote down my 2011 goals, I couldn’t help but reflect on how incredible this past year was.
Hands down, this year was the best year of my life.
In 2010 I attended and graduated from the worlds greatest school, I met some of the best friends and teachers I’ve ever had, I started a photo business, I had my first white winter, I got a job as...

Vanessa & Luke engaged!
Vanessa and Luke rule and I had so much fun with them on their engagement shoot! Here are some of the photos shot for Flory Photo:
who wants some updates?
Lifes been wonderful and busy and exciting and busy. Oops, I think I said busy twice..
I guess I assumed life slowed down for a wedding/portrait photographer once winter hit. But its been the opposite. Less picture taking (unfortunately) but more client meetings, sending out photos, booking weddings with Flory Photo and for Kelly Boitano Photography and living in the weary land of emails. I have...
Mackenzie & her girls
When I think back to the time I met Mackenzie, I see this sassy punk girl with long strawberry blonde hair, a lot of black eye-liner and a studded belt.
But Mackenzie today is a sophisicated, beautiful woman who found a man who liked it so much he put a ring on it.
Its such a wonderful thing to see your friend find their person and marry them. I couldn’t be more proud of the woman shes...
Portrait Session with Danielle Alvari
A few weeks ago I spent a few hours with a beauty queen.
literally!
Danielle needed some portraits for her pageant- but of course I couldn’t just do normal headshots..
Here are some of my favorites of Danielle workin’ it:
