Natalie | 8 months

I just love to watch my mini clients grow! Natalie is already 8 months, and since I'm short on time, here's just a couple of my favorite photos from her shoot. To see her first session photos, click here.

The Bebe Collection is an awesome way to document the first year of your baby's life. We do three shoots within the first year. Capturing images you will truly cherish for a lifetime!!

Have a great weekend!

All about the dogs...Jody and Andrew | Margarita

So Jody, Andrew and I hit it of instantly on the topic of dogs, and how much we love ours!!! Wilbur and Templeton were the co-stars of their engagement session we shot here on the Central Coast. They simply loved having their photo taken, riding in the back of the pickup - not so high on their list. Jody and Andrew will be tying the knot with a Paso Robles wedding next May at Meridian Winery. Congratulations you guys!













Andrew being a goof ball...Jody looking timeless and beautiful.

Jen + Chad | Oakland, San Ramon Wedding

Jen and Chad! We're totally fun and wonderful to work with! Chad, was like the president at their reception and was cracking us up. They had 500, yes 500, guests! and as you can imagine, it would be hard to say hello to all 500 guests, being the guest of honor, so when he saw someone he knew, he gave like a presidential wave, and that was all night long. And Jenn, well I can just say she graced us with a beauty and class we all wish we had! Chad, you certainly "married up" haha... Check out their slideshow and enjoy... Over and out, have a great one! ~allyson

Nyssa + Danny | South Coast WInery, Temecula Wedding

Nyssa and Danny know how to throw a party! They planned their Temecula Wedding at South Coast Winery. You might remember their engagement photos from this summer, down at Canyon Lake. They live on a private lake - pretty cool - and love to wake board. I have to say, these two are just full of fun, Dan was thrilled to be shooting with me. But you'll have to see for yourself in the slideshow! If you've been following this blog for any sort of time, like 2 years - you might recognize Kyla and Chad in the photos - Nyssa and Kyla are sisters!

Danielle + Bryan | Atown!

Danielle and Bryan had a wonderful ranch wedding at Taft Ranch here in Atascadero. They are sincerely the sweetest couple, who met on the debate team in high school...I'd hate to see an argument in their house!

Danielle got ready in the hunting lodge out near the pond - gotta use what you have for photos...so I thought this one was pretty funny:

Mia is one!

Mia turned one. She's such a cutie pie. We were very happy by her surprise visit with her parents last week. Click here to see photos of miss M from a year ago.




I just LOVED her shoes!!

Tyler is 2!!

Tyler has just turned 2! He's full of personality and is very interested in tractors...trucks...dumptrucks, you know, the boy stuff. You might recognize him from my website - he's the darling little guy in the grass, with the amazing and large blue eyes! It's always my pleasure to get to capture the growth of kids and families. Since I shot Tonya and Dave's wedding, I have gotten to see so many happy moments in their lives, and it's truly an honor! thanks guys!


LOVE LOVE LOVE this shot!...
Mommy and daddy are still in love...

Melissa + David | Shell Beach, CA

These guys were the greatest! They are so FUN and kept us laughing at a mile a minute, if that's possible. Here are just a few shots, but you'll have to watch the slideshow to get a real feel for their wedding - totally fun, intimate, with lots of character! Congratulations Melissa + David!!
