It was so fun to photograph Ashton and Cody’s wedding as her mother is a close friend of mine and her father is the pastor of our church. I heard about many of the details of the wedding leading up to their big day and it was fun to see it all pull together into a beautiful and FUN wedding. Ashton and Cody were truly excited about their marriage and sharing the joy of it with everyone around them. Ashton was stunning in her beautiful dress and Cody was pretty handsome himself in his tux. They are such a beautiful couple and it was great to see so many of their friends and family join in their celebration.

It was a warm day at the Chism House and a very sunny ceremony and I love how their photographs reflect the beautiful day. Many of Ashton’s family helped with the decorations and flowers. Ashton had the biggest bouquet I have ever seen and it was beautiful. Congratulations Ashton and Cody!

Chloe is one of the most adorable little 6 month olds I have photographed! We did a few in my studio and then headed to Verdi for some outdoor portraits. I just love so many of these pictures of her! What a beautiful family!

It was so fun to do a session for this wonderful family because they have been apart of our life since my husband and I were kids. The oldest daughter, Bethany, was pregnant with her first baby at the same time I was pregnant with little Emma. Our due dates were the same and her little daughter Lucy arrived just 2 days before my daughter Emma. Lauri’s little girl, Myra, was born just a few weeks ago and is just around three weeks old in the pictures.

Their family is now spread out all over the U.S. but they were spending time together over the 4th of July in Tahoe. We went up as a family and spent the day with them on the beach. We were hoping to do beach pictures but were really unsure if we could do them with the 4th of July crowd. We did a few pictures up at the cabin and then ventured down to the beach. When we got there the beach was empty! We had the whole place to ourselves and were able to get some fun family shots. We had a great time with them and watched some very memorable fireworks.

Thank you so much for inviting us up for the day!
