I just got home from a trip to San Luis Obispo where I got to photograph a handful of really great people…Here are three of them! Marley, Madison, and Colter are a ridiculously cute little family-thanks for spending the afternoon with me!

Marley is a diva, in case you couldn’t tell.

Two of my talented friends had a daughter three years ago. She is a very particular libra who reminds me to appreciate little things like a nicely lined up row of crayons.  She is one of my very favorite people.  Happy 3rd birthday again little lady…Good baby making Boun+Adam!=) Oh…and Boun designed this adorable invitation…hire her!!

Little Hudson,

I hope your first birthday is as wonderful as you are! Be good for Mom and Dad today so they can take hundreds of pictures of just how teeny and perfect you are. I am so glad you were born, Happy Birthday little love!  Now go convince Mom to get you a little sister for your birthday! =)

Photographing these beautiful people makes me happier than I could possibly explain. I feel like I was just taking Wyatt’s newborn photos, and now he is about to be two! It is so odd how quickly time passes, and how fast teensy little babies turn into people that talk, run, and think for themselves…so weird! I give to you the handsome Luke, the sweet Peyten, and the charming baby Wyatt!

Learning how to use the Holga! =)

I took photos for this ridiculously cute kiddo’s 4th birthday party invitations recently, hello dream job!! I also designed them and I am happy with how they turned out…I’ll post photos of the finished product soon. I really had fun planning the photos with a  printed piece in mind. Also, knowing that all her little friends got to see and enjoy them makes me so happy!  Enjoy your Thursday friends-it’s almost Friday!

I am starting mini kiddo sessions this Summer and Fall-email me for details…they are my very favorite=) {Samaria@thesproutingimage.com}

I just can not get enough of Gentry’s cheeks. I am so excited to shoot his parent’s wedding in July. Isn’t Lindsay such a beautiful Mom?!


I am not sure it’s fair for anything to be this cute.

Ashlee and Garrett are the sweet parents of the ridiculously adorable (baby) Hudson and (big brother) Parker. We took photos in Edna Valley, San Luis Obispo…why are there not places like this in San Diego??  Enjoy this cuteness, and I have another really cute kid to post, so stay tuned!

Click below to see a few photos I took a while before little Hudson was born…I can’t believe how big Parker is now!

This adorable mama and baby are going to be the stars of a wedding in July. I can’t wait to share more of their photos!

This week is crazy. We are in the huge process of moving, have TWO weddings to shoot, a website for school to finish, AND we leave for Seattle in 8 days.
