Merrick, 1 year old

Are you ready for some seriously cute 1st birthday photos??!? :o) You might have been following Little Merrick’s photos in the past 12 months, can you believe he’s ALREADY one?!?! That darn time just flies by us and there is no pause button, is there?! Loved seeing this little man grow throughout the last year, he’s such a little ham, all smiles, AND super fast on his feet already!! Good luck mommy & daddy chasing him around, haha!!!

Thank you for a wonderful year, I LOVED seeing you guys! <3 Happy (belated) birthday little man <3

Cutie face <3

How big is Merrick? Sooo biiiig :o))

All smiles! I love this stage!

And one more of the sweet family <3

Bethany & Chris • Rancho Las Lomas, Silverado, CA

How lucky am I?! Not only do I get to shoot at some of the most beautiful venues, but also some of the coolest couples! Bethany & Chris held their ceremony and reception at the gorgeous Rancho Las Lomas – and I mean, GORGEOUS! This venue is a dream. It’s like a little treasure island set on some rolling hills. There are so many beautiful spots and so many things to discover … not to mention all the beautiful animals that seem to have found a beautiful home. Flowers, fountains, zebras, beautiful palm trees, peacocks, orange trees, tigers, beautiful Portuguese inspired tiles and art all over. I could go on and on about this place!

What should I say, the whole day was perfect, let’s be honest, it couldn’t have been better! And Bethany & Chris are SUCH a wonderful couple, sweet, loving …. you could just see the excitement and love for each other in their eyes, this was one happy day!

I hope you guys had a wonderful honeymoon! Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore, dang! I am so jealous! Thanks for letting me capture your WONDERFUL day, my very best wishes to both of you! <3

Thanks also to my sweet second shooter, Nikki that took some truly beautiful photos that day! I’ll mix some of her photos into the set below.

Alrighty! Let’s get this sneak peek started :o)

Love the next few photos, Nikki took of the girls :o)

Love Bethany’s expressions in the last few below :o)) She sure was one happy bride :o)

Mrs Gorgeous! Honestly girl, you should be a model!

Drop dead gorgeous!!

And look at that beautiful dress!

The handsome groom, Chris!

The cutest party crashers I’ve ever run into …. too bad the tigers were sleeping, ha!

Love this little moment Bethany & Chris had before they saw each other for the first time! <3

And I love Chris’ expression in the pic below, haha! :o)

Just beautiful!

The bridal party was a really good crowd! So many laughs! Such a good time!

A quick drink in-between ….

And look at that beauuuutiful setting. I got SO spoiled that day! Honestly I could shoot you guys and the venue every day! …. and you girls looked all beautiful!

Love, love, love you guys! <3

We got so many beautiful photos, I am not sure how you’ll ever choose the photos for your album, haha!! Gooooooood luck you guys! :o))

Ok, what a cool setting is this???! Bethany, you look beautiful and I LOVE the photo Nikki took of Chris :o)

A little reference to an old American painting, can you guess which one it is? :o))

This place is soooo beautiful!!!

I don’t think they could have been any happier that day!

Yup. BREATHTAKING setting for a perfect day!

Do you recognize this sweet couple, whose wedding I shot about 2 years ago?!?! Ahhhh, SO good seeing old friends again AND I’ll see you AGAIN later this summer! Love you both! <3 <3 <3
