Randy and Allie: Simi Valley Wedding Photographer, Tuscan Villa, California

No one was phased by the heat of the Simi Valley sunshine on this lovely day. Randy and Allie are some of the coolest/nicest/sincere people we’ve ever gotten lucky enough to work with. There was such a tangible joy shared by the whole wedding party, family, and guests. One of our favorite moments was when Randy’s dad/best man rapped his toast to the tune of “Fresh Prince of Bel Air.” That pretty much will go down as one of the best toasts in wedding history. To see just how cool this couple really is, you should really take a look at their engagement session when Randy flew us to Catalina. We feel so happy that we could share in a little part of Randy and Allie’s lives and we wish them all the best in the world!

Lincoln: Newborn Photography, Simi Valley, CA

Lincoln arrived! He is quite the trooper and was content to sleep through pretty much everything we put him through. So fun to be able to photograph this amazing time in Jessica and Rick’s life. We know they’re going to make great parents. Thanks for letting us be a little part of Lincoln’s life!

Leah and Justin’s Wedding, Strathern Park, Simi Valley, CA

A really awesome thing just happened! Our friends Leah and got married.

I have to thank my amazing husband Peter that pretty much shot this whole wedding all on his own. I fell into the category of “bridesmaid” rather than “photographer” at this event (though I still couldn’t help picking up the camera a few times).

Anyway, The wedding was a blast. The day was perfect. Strathern Park was beautiful. I got to wear converse all day. We couldn’t be happier that Justin and Leah get to share in the amazing gift of marriage.

The Baileys – Family Photos – Hummingbird Nest Ranch, Simi Valley

A couple weeks ago we had the pleasure of hanging out with Tim, Casie, and their daughter Harper at the Hummingbird Nest Ranch. These three wonderful humans will soon be joined by a fourth who is sure to be just as awesome as they are. It was pleasure getting to know this family. The whole shoot was a sincerely joyful experience. Thanks Tim and Casie – we can’t wait to photograph the four of you.

We love to break out of the crazy wedding world and photograph families and other awesome people. If hanging out with Peter and I, adventuring in the wild, and getting some killer photos is your idea of a good time, you should say hi.
