Class of 2016: Gabriel

It is always so refreshing to meet motivated ambitious young men; Gabriel is nothing short of this. It was such a pleasure to meet him, chat with him about his life, his interests, and his plans after high school. He really is a well rounded young man that has goals I believe he will have no problem achieving. I am sure he makes his parents very proud, and one day in the future will make one very lucky girl so happy. Gabriel, it was such a pleasure meeting you. Thank you for being such a great sport during our session. I wish you all the best of luck in your future endeavors.

Almond Orchards: Castro Family

I absolutely love watching two people's love story unfold into a beautiful life. I met Mercedes and Victor probably right around four years ago when they were looking to book a wedding photographer. I immediately fell in love with Mercedes. She is so fun, down to earth, and caring. Victor shares the same love of photography as myself so of course every time we see each other we can get a little carried away geeking out over our equipment and photo talk.

It has been such a pleasure watching these two grow into a family over the past few years, and I was beyond ecstatic when Mercedes contacted me about an orchard session. I have not seen their son since his newborn pictures and he has grown up so much. He is one very active adorable little guy that I can tell keeps his parents on their toes. I am sure they appreciate Adan, Mercedes brother, being around so much to help keep Gabriel company. I look forward to the day that they decide to have another child. They make fabulous parents that any child would be so lucky to call mom and dad.

Mercedes and Victor, it was so nice to see you guys. I seriously enjoyed every minute of our time together. I hope this birthday present was everything you could have dreamt of.  I feel so honored you chose me!
