Odin

Meet my newest cutest little guy…..Odin. This photo shoot was a birthday surprise for his mom, Kyla from his dad Paul. Cameron has known Paul & Kyla for some time….their family owns Swallow Creek Ranch– an amazing venue in Cayucos. Cameron and I actually wanted to get married out there but unfortunately the barn was closed for the winter months.

Kyla had mentioned to Cameron a few times how she wanted pictures of her baby and Paul finally took initiative. We drove out to their house and knocked on the door, when Kyla answered she was VERY confused considering their house is a bit off the beaten path. Once we told her why we were there she was thrilled!! Odin had just got up from his nap and was in his prime to model for the camera. He and his parents worked it and I was so happy with the finished product. Here are some highlights from the shoot.

Wyatt James

Here I am finally blogging and I feel like I already have so much to blog about! This is Wyatt; he is one of my sisters 4 kids! A little over a year ago my husband and I were just dating and I had to pull teeth to get him to come to the hospital to meet his ‘possible’ nephew. He says his ‘uncertainty’ was all an act: well maybe…..he was a thespian in High School. Anyhow, it was last year that I grabbed Cameron’s camera for the first time and attempted to capture…..well anything. I have to say, I was a bit nervous and at the same time excited. I absolutely LOVE kids and I loved seeing my new nephew through the camera. It was fun to allow myself to be creative and express something I love in a different way. Check out Cameron’s blog
to read about Wyatt. Here are some of my shots from that day.



Nine-ish months after that day I had married my best friend Cameron, became business partners, and jumped willingly onto our wonderfully blind rollercoaster of life. It has been WILD. Wyatt being my first photography subject was also my first ‘experimental shoot’. I made Cameron take the other 3 kids while my sister and I stayed at the house; I was free to experiment all I wanted. I was pretty nervous still being in the prenatal stages of photography but….I LOVED it! I was being creative in a new way and capturing something I love so much. Cameron is an awesome teacher and assisted me in the processing. I am excited to see where I can go from here and what new and creative things are ahead!







This look is after he threw a doll called 'Mad Cameron' (It's a doll of Van Gough that looked like Cameron when he used to have his beard) Hmmm maybe Wyatt is jealous Cameron and I are married....I know how much he loves me!!
