Taken with a Yashica D TLR. Probably sometime around 2004.
Another college engagement session! :D Lorelle & Jason met when they were at school at UC Riverside, so we headed over there to do their engagement photos. These two are so amazingly adorable, and I had such a wonderful time getting to know them. :) I had so much fun exploring the campus & romping around with you two! Jason also did his very first cartwheel EVER during the session :D Yay!
We found this amazing phonebooth inside one of the buildings and of course I *had* to use it!
UCR is known for its citrus trees, and the trees were in bloom, which actually really reminded me of my childhood! Lorelle stated that she never noticed the smell going to school here, and now when she smells citrus blooms, it’ll remind her of the session now ;)
We had a little fun cartwheeling! :D
Jason’s first cartwheel, EVER!! :D Yay!
A continuation from this post. :) We met at the location he proposed at – the Island Prime Restaurant. Ellen & Ashley are two of the sweetest, most down to earth people ever! Ellen has an effortlessly natural smile, and they are just so comfortable together, it’s beautiful :)
At the cabana he proposed near :)
Don’t forget to have a little fun every now and then ;)
Just one for now as well.. more soon! :)
This one instantly grabbed me after I took this series – I love the mood. Just one photo for now, I’ll post more tomorrow :)

What a wedding to kick off the official season! Kim & Remo had a beautiful wedding, set in the hills of San Jose. I forget how lush and GREEN it is up there! Spring was definitely on it’s way, as well as gracing us with a few showers during the couple shoot – which made things all the better for photos!
Kim & Remo, you two are gorgeous, wonderful people, and I had sooo much fun with you guys! Many blessings on your beautiful journey together :)
I warn you all now, there are a LOT of photos! :)
upon seeing his bride for the first time :)

Trees! Trees! I love TREEEES! *runs around* Haha, well, this is how I felt when shooting Hazel & Kurtis’ engagement shoot last weekend! It came up that I was going to be up north, and the idea was brought up to the do the shoot in Davis & on the UC Davis campus because that’s where it all started ;) A storm had threated to cancel our shoot all week, but we stuck it out till the day of, and it turned out to be beautiful! Hazel & Kurtis, you two are incredibly sweet, and I had SO much fun romping around downtown Davis & your old stomping grounds at US Davis. I know Hazel is anxiously waiting to see some teasers, so here they are! ;)
I love love love the trees along this road
What they were looking up at
Hazel’s penguin player had to make an appearance too! ;)
At the spot that Kurtis proposed to her on campus ; )
Go Aggies! ;D
And why I miss Sacramento sunsets!!
This was my very first time at WPPI this year, and oh my goodness, I had so much fun! I really wanted to go to meet the many photographers that I “know” online, and it was the most surreal experience when many of these photographers who I blogstalk, stalk me right back! Or at least, they know who I am. :) I really just wanted to have great conversations, meet people, connect & learn. It was an amazing experience, and I simply can’t wait for the next convention! I only wish I was able to stay longer because so many people were doing shoots the day I left. Ah, next year!
I honestly had a beautiful time meeting everyone that I did, and I seriously can’t wait to see you all again! I feel so blessed to be a part of this industry/community!
Here are some fun photos from the fun :)
It all started at Sara France & Lauren Hillary’s bash:
Lisa & me
I honestly don’t know everyone in this photo, but I knew Jeanette, Paula & Fred (who, by the way, told me I look very Asian. Thanks Fred)
Kathy, Lisa, Shannon, Willow, Justin, Michele & Amy :)
The girls modeling it up
Jeanette & Me! :D (thanks to Stan for the nose & photo)
me & Amy
Willow & me
Aaron, me, Heather, Lisa & Bobbi!
On top of that, Amy performed her beautiful song, Gravel Lines during Jesh’s seminar:

She also performed a new song she wrote a week ago called “Beloved” :)
It was truly an amazing week, and I feel so inspired & warm from this amazing community. There were also so many of you I wanted to meet, but that didn’t happen! Next year, alright?! :D
P.S. I can’t believe I didn’t get a shot with the “blueberries!” Next time!
The Strip as seen from above. :)
I will be posting more tomorrow – I PROMISE! I know there are many waiting to see more photos (as well as reading this from your google reader on your iphone). ;)

I am back & beat beyond belief! I think I could sleep for a few days. ;) I really wanted to post photos from the trip, but I have yet to even unpack my bags, and I think I’m just going pass out instead. ;)
Photos will come though! Guaranteed ;)
Not the best picture in the world – this was me a few days ago, waiting for my flight from Nor Cal to Vegas. Multitasking, of course! ;)
I wanted to post a photo from WPPI, but I haven’t been taking a whole lot! Oh, but you bet I’ll be posting some when I get back! ;)
I’m in Vegas! I’ve been having a blast so far, but I just wanted to post one photo from Kim & Remo’s amazing wedding this past Friday in San Jose!
If you’re in Vegas for WPPI, be sure to look for me (I actually have shorter hair now with blunt bangs) and say hi! :) (Of course, if you’re a WPPI, what are you doing checking blogs?! lol)
