Congratulations Jason & Kate!
I photographed Jason & Kate's beautiful wedding at Valhalla Vineyards back in September 2006. It was their celebration that made me fall in love with intimate weddings - I felt like a part of their family.
The fact that so many of my clients keep in contact with me throughout the years makes me love my calling to be a photographer even more. For me, the relationship goes far beyond the actual wedding day. Many of my clients are now friends!
With that said, I am honored to announce that Jason & Kate are the proud parents of a beautiful baby girl! Lily was born on July 6th weighing in 7lbs 3oz, was 20 inches long, and looks exactly like her Dad AND Mom!
Enjoy the image of Lily below courtesy of Jason & Kate, and wish them congratulations by leaving a comment!

Scott & Melissa - Sand Harbor Wedding (Lake Tahoe)
I have said this before, but I can never say it enough...I love my job. In fact, I hate to call it a job. Maybe I should rephrase that as, "I love my calling". For me, photography is such an emotional art. I give a piece of myself to each and every client and love being a part of their lives.
On June 21st I was able to celebrate with Scott and Melissa and their families. Their intimate wedding was filled with much happiness and love, and I am thankful that they chose me.
Enjoy!

This image sums up everything I felt about their day - love and happiness!
Best Wishes,
