Bay Area Family Photographer {The Carpenter Family} - Sonoma County

My friend (and wonderful hairdresser) Rachel and I have been talking about and planning a family photo session for a the past few months, and I was so excited when we were finally able to settle on a date!!  I had such a fun time on this photo session, and THANK YOU to the whole family for such a great day!

Here are some of my favorites!

My favorite time of year...

I know I've been a little behind on my blog posts lately...It's been a busy few months with photo shoots, and planning my wedding :)  Yep, I can't believe it's almost here!!  Today we went and got our marriage license!!  I'm so excited for our big day, and I just know that 2011 is going to be filled with lots of love and happiness!!

Because posts are alway better with a picture, here is one that I took today while driving through Sonoma (and no, I didn't take it while driving...I was the passenger :)

My favorite time of year in Sonoma :)

Bay Area Family Photographer : The Russell Family

It was cold, I mean really cold...but...at least it wasn't raining!  Jaime and I had been scheduling and re-scheduling our photo session due to the rain and I was so glad that we were finally able to round up her family and take some pictures!  Jaime and Ryan...thank you for bringing your boys and bearing the chilly weather!  Here are just a few of my favorites...and as you can see, the boys started off the session running around to warm up :)

Enjoy!

Brothers!
