Stanislaus University-Stockton, Ca Family Photos

Stanislaus University extension provides such a great background in the fall. The house on the property is always a great place to shoot. Enjoy!!

Family Photos, Downtown Stockton

It is always nice to try a different place when doing family photos. And when there are little ones you have to sometimes get creative. :)

Fall Family Photos at UOP Stockton, Ca

For some reason I believe that fall is one of the best seasons to take family photos. I am not sure if it is families getting closer together for the upcoming holidays or the colors in the trees and the evening skies are just so rich and warm. Or that leaves are available as great props. Enjoy the photos!

Hoard Wedding-Tracy, Ca

First time photographing at St. Bernard's in Tracy, Ca. This is the same church that my parents had gotten married at more than 30 years ago. Here are some shots from that day, the reception was held at the Red Bridge clubhouse.

Knights Ferry Engagement 2011

I have never shot at Knights Ferry. I loved it. I could have stayed there longer with my couple but mother nature decided that she had give us enough time to do our photo session. Wonderful couple, can't wait until their wedding!!

Utah!!

This is one of the first times that I have had a chance to slow down. That means I am able to stop and smell the roses. :) I thought I would first start off with some photos of my trip to Utah for a friends wedding. I fell in love with this white barn just outside of Park City. LOVED IT! Also I love dinosaurs so I thought I would add those in as well.

Stockton 2011 Aids Walk

I had completely forgot that I had walked the Aids Walk in Stockton May 2011. An event that I have participated in for the last 3 years with the college I work for. Here are just some images of that day.

Rain in June?!! Carrington College California-Antioch Campus 2011 Graduation

When you are asked the question "How well do you adapt to change?" or "From 1 to 10 where would you rank yourself when handling stressful changing situations?". Those are questions that pop in mind yesterday when photographing Carrington College California-Antioch Campus 2011 graduation. It rained and rained and rained. We are in California!! It is JUNE!!!! Why are we dressed up like it is mid January? It was amazing!!!!!

Hats off to the graduates that stuck it out. Just like when you received a great grade on your test that you had to study hard for, it was a little work to stay motivated in the rain and though it was stressful you earned and deserved to walk across! It is just a reflection on how strong you are and how well you were able to adapt to change. Congratulations!!
