Kings Canyon 2014 | Personal

This past weekend I took a much needed vacation. Now camping is a bit more work than I would have liked, but nothing compares to stripping down the bare essentials and enjoying nature. I was without a phone for a full weekend. *Gasp* Those who know me, know that I'm always trying to keep up with the latest on instagram or facebook. The trip started out with my awful skills at being a co-pilot, but eventually we made it to the Azalea Campground in Kings Canyon National Park. The sites were beautiful and made me realize how small I am.

Sites Visited: General Grant Tree, General Sherman Tree, Moro Rock, Panoramic spot, Hume Lake. 

Nicole & Griffey | San Dimas Maternity Photography

Nicole is welcoming another baby boy! We did this beautiful maternity/pregnancy announcement shoot at Bonelli park in San Dimas. Griffey, the older brother to be, was super excited for his brother Robinson to come. Congratulations to Nicole!

Riley | Pasadena Senior Portrait Session

Riley asked me to do her senior portraits. I was honored because this girl is gorgeous! Not only her beautiful hazel eyes, but her awesome personality. I was able to even do her makeup. Check out my make up page here: Alyssa Lizarraga | Makeup Artist! We ventured out to Eaton Canyon Park in Pasadena. The lighting was gorgeous! I absolutely love Pasadena, its great to find locations that really accentuate my client's personalities. Here are some images from her session.

Cody & Kendall | San Dimas Engagement

I met Kendall a few years back. She and I were part of a homeschooling community. We had mutual friends and I met her through them. When I met her, she came up to me and my twin sister, Priscilla, and introduced herself in the friendliest way possible. We occasionally saw each other at Disneyland, a place where plenty of home schooled kids loved to hang out. I was shy back in high school, blame it on the homeschooling, but I remember thinking she was super nice. Years later, I've followed her life through face book and was super excited when I saw that she was engaged! I was thrilled that she allowed me to photograph her and her fiance,Cody. Cody is just as sweet as Kendall. I loved watching as he cared for Kendall as we were hiking to the perfect spot in Bonelli Park in San Dimas. Congratulations you two! Can't wait to see what the future holds.
