Wedding Preview: Jared & Sarah

2011-07-01T01:27:00.000-07:00

I had the privilege of spending the day with Jared & Sarah at Dillon's Beach this last weekend, for their beautiful wedding. (You may recognize them from their Christmas Eve engagement session here.) The day was beautiful; the wedding party was fabulous; and the bride and groom were not only gorgeous, but also laid-back, and fun. It was a great wedding!

Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your day. I hope you're having an amazing honeymoon!

Enjoy your preview...

The pastor surprised them with a great "Princess Bride" moment.

"Wuv... Twue wuv..."

There's just something about the father/daughter dance that gets me every time.

You can see more photos from my wonderful second shooter, Amy, here on her blog.

Wedding Preview: Chris & Amber

2011-02-01T00:22:00.000-08:00

I was honored to be able to share in Chris & Amber's beautiful day. They are wonderful people and I had a great time celebrating with them! I had a really hard time choosing which images to post in their preview because there are just so many to choose from, but I had to choose or the blog would never be posted (something that I am attempting to get better at).

Chris & Amber - Thank you for letting me be a part of your day, and I hope you enjoy your preview!

Jared & Sarah

2010-12-30T22:13:00.000-08:00

Let me start out by saying this: I am going to try to be a good blogger this year. Yes, I know, I've said that before... I tend to get caught up in processing and completely forget to blog until I'm done with one project and working on the next. But, I'm changing the way I go about doing a few things in hopes that I will remember to blog more this year. No promises, but I will try. Feel free to bug me if I forget. :-)

On to the good stuff...

I LOVED this session! Loved, loved, loved. Jared & Sarah are getting married this June and are two of the sweetest, most laid-back people I may ever meet. They made my job wonderfully easy and lots of fun. We had to reschedule this session due to rain, so we shot these on the morning of Christmas Eve. Since I wasn't working during Christmas (outside of the shoot itself), they've had to wait a bit longer for photos. Jared & Sarah - here's a preview to hold you over. I hope to have the rest to you soon!

Not the usual blog entry

2010-12-01T15:37:00.000-08:00

Well, if I were a better blogger and there was such a thing as a "usual blog entry", this would not be it.

I had the privilege of shooting Neils' and Marrissa's beautiful wedding in October, gave the beautiful couple their DVDs, was happy with the photos, then found out that the images they were seeing were seriously flawed. Yikes! My darn computer had an error while writing their discs. Sooo, while they're waiting for the new discs to arrive in their mailbox, I'm posting a small preview here and putting a gallery up on a photo hosting site.

Engagement session: Jeff & Christine

2010-07-21T21:31:00.001-07:00

This Saturday, I had the pleasure of shooting an engagement session with Jeff & Christine. They are getting married in January and are about the cutest couple you could ever meet. I had a great time on Saturday and can't wait until the wedding!

Here are a few of my favorites from our session. There are a lot more "conventional" shots, but these are some of my faves. :-)

2010-02-26T13:00:00.000-08:00

On this cold, rainy day, we're going to kick off a bright fun contest! The winner of this contest will receive their choice of two prizes. Prize #1 - A free photo session with one 12x18 print and 5 of their favorite digital files ($200 value), or Prize #2 - $200 off any wedding package! All you have to do to enter is be a fan of the Facebook page (see link on the side of the page) and leave a comment on any photo or wall post on the Looking Glass Photography fan page, then post back here to let me know the location of your comment. How easy is that?! For extra entries, twitter or blog about the contest and leave a comment on the Facebook page or here with a link to your twitter or blog address. The contest will be open until Sunday March 7th, with the winner announcement on Monday, March 8th. Good luck!

Sidenote: Upon looking at my not-so-well-kept blog, I've come to the realization that the "winter update" never happened. :-) Soooo, look for that in the next few days!

Wedding: Anthony & Jill (part 2)

2010-01-24T23:00:00.000-08:00

There are SOOOO many more photos and I'm almost done with all of them, but I wanted to get one more post up for those of you who are waiting. Anthony & Jill are such beautiful people, they made my job easy and tons of fun! Thank you again for letting me be a part of your day!

Wedding: Anthony & Jill (part 1)

2010-01-14T22:45:00.001-08:00

I couldn't decide on my favorites from this wedding, so I finally just picked a few to put on the blog. I expect at least one more blog post soon...

I was honored to be able to shoot Jillian & Anthony's wedding a few weeks ago. I've known Jill since... well, I can't remember a time that I haven't know Jill. Let's just put it that way. :-) When she asked if I would be her photographer, I was thrilled! It was a beautiful day for two awesome people. Thank you both for letting me be a part of it. I hope you're enjoying the East Coast! More photos are on their way.

They're here! Well, sort of...
I'll have them all up and posted on the site in the next few days, but here's a preview while you wait. :-)

Sneak Peek: Wedding, Jason & Lisa

2009-09-20T06:24:00.001-07:00

I got to second shoot another wedding for Trizza last weekend, this time up in Tahoe. I wasn't able to be there for the "getting ready" shots (which are some of my favorite), but it was still a great time. The weekend's storm decided to rear its ugly head during the middle of the beach ceremony, but the bride and groom handled it with grace and had a beautiful day.

Sneak Peak: Deanna Part 2

2009-09-18T23:49:00.000-07:00

I was blessed to have the opportunity to shoot for Deanna again in a bit of a different setting. It was lots of fun and she's a beautiful subject. Her first session is on the blog here.

Sneak Peek: Anderson Family

2009-09-02T21:16:00.000-07:00

I had a great time with the Anderson family last week! Their oldest son went to preschool with Kaya last year and I hadn't seen them all summer, so it was great to catch up a bit and have some fun.

Sneak Peek: Deanna Allen

2009-08-26T09:52:00.000-07:00

Deanna and I took a trip to good old Old Sac last week to get some shots of her for her amazing ministry, Daughters of Destiny. It was a pleasure to meet her and her daughter, Lizzy. We had a great time and got some good shots. Can't wait to meet again for part two!

Sneak Peek: Ross-Sturgess Wedding

2009-08-19T08:58:00.000-07:00

Congratulations Nick, Jessica, & Emily! Thank you for letting me be a part of your special day!

Sneak Peek: Michelle

2009-08-17T22:42:00.000-07:00

Michelle and I spent some time in Old Sac last week working on getting her some new head shots. Michelle is an amazing lady working in some awesome ministries, and it was an honor to shoot for her. Here's the sneak peek!

Sneak Peek: Bailey - 1 year

2009-08-16T21:16:00.000-07:00

I recently had the chance to shoot Bailey for his first birthday. He was such a ham for the camera and had the most wonderfully contagious laugh! The super colorful pictures match his personality perfectly. :-)

Sneak Peek: Juliet

2009-08-13T21:17:00.000-07:00

Here's a sneak peek of a great shoot I had with Juliet the other day. She was loads of fun and a BEAUTIFUL subject!

Quick Sneak Peek: Perez family

2009-08-09T22:39:00.001-07:00

I recently shot a beautiful family of three - Carmen, Jamie, and Isabella. Isabella is a sweetie, and Carmen & Jaime were very laid back and fun to work with. I hope you like what you see so far! Even though there are only three up right now, I wanted to show them to you now so you wouldn't have to wait any longer. :-) I should have the rest to you before the end of the week!

Sneak Peak: Moore Family

2009-08-03T10:04:00.000-07:00

I really enjoyed my time with the Moore family and loved shooting them at the capitol last week. They are a beautiful family with the most adorable kids! So much fun! Here's a sneak peek. Can't wait to give you more!

Sneak Peek: Dedication Celebration! (Camil, Jonathan, & Maniah)

2009-07-29T23:41:00.000-07:00

I recently had the privilege of being asked to photograph a very special event, the dedication of Jonathan and Maniah. Camil, their mother, hosted a very special dedication celebration unlike any other I have ever attended. It could have been more fitting or though. It was a beautiful celebration full of God, family, and friends. It was beautiful!

Camil is such an amazing woman of God, and I have no doubt that God was very wise in choosing her to be Jonathan & Maniah's mom. It was such an honor to be a part of that day and I look forward to watching what God has in store for those beautiful children!

Anyway, there are so many wonderful pictures that I can't wait to give to you, but I wanted to give you a sneak peek. So, here you go...

Reading, praying, and speaking...

Friends (of all ages)

Delicious food :-)

Sneak Peek: Chloe Wong, 6 months

2009-07-21T23:28:00.000-07:00

On Saturday, I got to take some photos of the adorable 6-month old Chloe and her parents. :-) They were fun as always! Here's a sneak peek. (Many more to come...)

Wedding - James & Angela

2009-07-21T07:08:00.000-07:00

I recently had the privilege of second shooting a beautiful wedding in Elk Grove for Amoreena Berg of Amoreena Photography. I thoroughly enjoyed this wedding and felt privileged to be a part of it! The bride's family was from Kenya and brought so many wonderful traditions and so much beautiful music to the day. I have so many wonderful shots from that day but I made myself just choose a few of my favorites, so here they are.

Sneak Peek: Chloe Scott, 18 months

2009-07-12T23:07:00.000-07:00

I got to spend some time at the park with the adorable 18 month old Chloe Scott. She is an adorable little girl with a lot of energy! I still have quite a few photos to get through, but here's a preview. I hope you enjoy them. I had a great time with you!

Maternity Sneak Peek: Jesus & Britni

2009-06-25T11:23:00.000-07:00

Jesus & Britni were such a fun couple to work with! They were up for anything and totally lighthearted throughout the whole shoot. Thanks you guys for letting me be a part of this special time!

I have A LOT of images to go through still and may be posting again, but here's a sneak peek to hold you guys over. :-)

Tiner/Lynch Family

2009-06-24T01:12:00.000-07:00

I recently had the opportunity to photograph four generations of two families, the Tiners & the Lynches. They are such beautiful and fun people to be around, it was great to spend the morning with them! With so many people, there were A LOT of group shots, so I just chose a few of the "fun" shots for the blog. :-)

Engagement - Lindsey & Bryan Part 2

2009-06-21T23:25:00.000-07:00

Here are a few more from Lindsey & Bryan's shoot!

Sneak Peak: Lindsey & Bryan's Engagement Shoot

2009-06-19T21:48:00.000-07:00

I recently had the opportunity to shoot engagement pictures for Lindsey & Bryan in Old Sacramento. Old Sac is one of my favorite places to shoot and Brian & Lindsey were ready for anything! I should be posting a few more in the next few days, but wanted to get them a sneak peak. :-)

Jarquin family

2009-06-15T23:51:00.000-07:00

Suzanne's mom was in town for a visit this last month, so they wanted to get some "generations" photos. Sadly, the best light of the day is either first thing in the morning or the very end of the day. Anyone with kids knows that it's virtually impossible to get out the door looking decent for pictures first thing in the morning, and that time of the evening isn't usually the most happy time for a toddler. Winter (1 year old) did pretty well for the time of day, but needed Daddy or the pacifier to keep her content. :-) Soooo... we wound up with some pictures with Daddy as well. Anyway, here's a taste.

Burrier Family

2009-06-12T00:21:00.000-07:00

This beautiful family me at one of our wonderful local parks, Ancil Hoffman. They are such a fun family to be around and their girls are BEAUTIFUL. I tried out a few new processing styles this time around, so this sampling is a bit different than usual.

Indica & Mason's Wedding, Part II

2009-06-03T11:46:00.000-07:00

Here are some more photos from Indica & Mason's Wedding. I am SOOO glad that I had the opportunity to tag along with Trizza for this one. :-) Being the first wedding that I've had the opportunity to shoot I didn't really know what to expect, but it was A LOT of fun and I hope to be able to do many more in the future!

Here's the first time the bride and groom saw each other...

And some more fun...

Wedding, Indica & Mason, May 30, 2009

2009-06-01T23:40:00.000-07:00

I had the pleasure of second shooting with a wonderful local photographer, Trizza Grantham, at the wedding of Indica & Mason in Ione, CA. It was a fun wedding and I'm having a really hard time picking favorite photos to post! I'll probably post again later because I can't even really say that these are my favorites, they're just the ones I've had a chance to edit. :-)

Week 3, Macro & Week 4, Peace

2009-04-28T09:28:00.000-07:00

I got a bit behind last week, so I don't have very many photos for Week 4's theme of Peace. And I don't have a macro lens, so these are really just wannabe Macro photos. :-) Here's a Week 3 & 4 combo!

And the one Peace photo.

(This was fake sleep.)

365 Project, Week 2 - Food

2009-04-12T18:52:00.000-07:00

Here are a few from last week. The theme was food... yummm...

Chicken Spaghetti dinner...

My dad's nifty coffee filter gizmo.

This ladybug had a lovely lunch of aphids.

Pizza...mmm...

And I think this needs no explanation.

And Easter yummies...

Chloe, 3 months

2009-04-11T00:06:00.000-07:00

Because I promised I would get a few up by tonight, here are four from Chloe's 3 month photo session. :-)

365 Project, Week 1

2009-04-07T00:19:00.000-07:00

I decided that it would probably be better to stick to a weekly post for the 365 project rather than a daily post, so every week I'll post a few photos from that week's theme. Here are a few from this week's "Green with Envy" theme.

Next week's theme is "Food"...

365 Project, 3/30/09

2009-03-30T23:43:00.000-07:00

I have joined a group of photographers, that I have come to know through a photography board that we are all members of, in starting a 365 Project. Basically, this is just a fancy way of saying that we all decided to do our best to take a picture every day. :-) With a different theme every week, I think this will be a great way to get the creative juices flowing.

This week's theme is "Green with Envy". Here was my photo (well, sort of - it's two photos) for the day.

Isabella #2 (Some B&W)

2009-03-16T22:28:00.001-07:00

Despite the cold, we did get a lot of good photos. But, I'm going to be good and not share an entire session over the blog. :-) I have been working on my B&W conversions lately though, so I thought I'd share of couple of those.

Isabella

2009-03-11T23:15:00.000-07:00

I took some pictures of beautiful Isabella yesterday morning. It was a bit colder than we expected it to be out there, but she was such a good sport! I haven't had a chance to go through a lot of them, but here are a few. :-)

Chloe Virginia Wong

2009-01-11T17:09:00.000-08:00

I was able to take some newborn pictures of my new niece for my sister and brother-in-law this last week. Her name is Chloe Virginia Wong and was born early on the morning of December 28th. She's a very alert baby and doesn't enjoy being on her stomach, but we were still able to get some good pictures. Here are a few that I liked...

Josh & Josie

2008-12-08T09:59:00.000-08:00

On Friday, I had the opportunity to shoot Josh & Josie Tiner. Josh had a bit of a hard time with the cold weather so we only had about 15 minutes, but we did get a few!

It's a new blog...

2008-12-06T17:43:00.000-08:00

I've been putting it off for a while, but I'm finally starting a photo blog. Instead of putting everything on Kaya's blog, I figured it would probably be better to start a separate page. Photo posts to follow...
