Baby Samantha- New Born Portraits

Hello Everyone!!
Well, yesterday may have been rainy and cloudy; but the sun peeked through at the perfect times for Baby Samantha! She is so gorgeous!!! You may remeber them from our past posts, Lesley's Pregnancy and Family Portraits and Lesley's Baby Shower. It is so amazing to now see our little Samantha before our eyes! It's such a wonderous and beautiful thing of how God made our bodies to hold life and bring a new creation into exhistence and now here she was, little Samantha perfect ten toes and perfect beautiful ten fingers! She slept the entire time, which was tons of fun....she was like our perfect little model! We started with the PINK BOW, so cute, then put her hand made outfit on that her Grandma gave to her and then placed her in a basket......so cute and tiny! We ended with her pink tutu on the Leopard Print ottoman....it was so cute; my favorite is when she shuffled her arms and found her comfy spot with her little head leaning on her arms. To Les and Todd, thank you for letting us be apart of her life before she came into this world and when she arrived.....after only 11 days she really is beautiful!!! Thank you...............and Nate, the new big brother, thanks for keeping Vic occupied with all your trucks, cars and games!!

Bride & Groom Day After Portraits- Rebecca & Juan

Rebecca and Juan are so cute! We meet up at their home in Temecula, after hours of Horrible Traffic on the 91 and 15 (not to mention the ugly dark clouds above)!! We then followed them to Old Town Temcula, which I absolutly fell in love with. We started off in this wonderful hidden area and went through a maze of quaint trinket and gift shops. We found this awesome brick wall which was just outside the wonderfully wood theater! Rebecca and Juan were so awesome to treck up and down three flights of stairs to capture the shots! We then headed down to this beautiful lake where the evening sun came out.....totally perfect!!! Rebecca was such a trooper...she did this entire day in hills! You go girl! Rebecca and Juan, we were so glad to see you guys again and we wish you all the best. We cannot wait to hear about the wonderful "life adventures" you will have together! Thank you and enjoy!

Rebecca & Juan- Wedding 01.30.10

Meeting Rebecca and Juan was like being with one of my closest friends. They are such an amazing couple, so warm and beautiful! Their big day started in Temcula and what a perfect gorgeous day! The location was awesome and the lighting was perfect (Thanks Juan!!) I found myself having a great time...laughing with the bride, her MOH and her make up artist! It was just effortless to capture the moments and their beauty! She looked gorgeous!!! When all was said and done, she had this very retro hollywood 1920's beauty about her...which inspired a vintage image! And the RED VELVET COUCH!!....perfect! Her Maid of Honor was the best! Just constantly making goofy faces and creating a wonderful and stress free environment for Rebecca!! Their centerpieces were old vintage records which I could not pick one to post so I posted two!! The Ceremony was beautiful and so charming! Their Pastor got a bit choked up and I found myself with a few tears in my eyes. The love they have for each other is so wonderful and for them to let me be the one to capture that is so honoring!! Thank you Rebecca and Juan you guys were gorgeous, fun and great! Congratulations! I cannot wait to see what this year brings you.....Congrats again and enjoy!
