Danica's Senior Portraits
















These photos were taken at one of my favorite places in Fresno--Woodward Park. I had so much fun taking these photos of Danica--she has a very contagious smile and I remember smiling along with her during the entire shoot. I was excited for her to use her amazing guitar as a prop for some of these photos. Let me tell ya, she's super talented with that thing! I took guitar lessons for a while and it's not that as easy as it looks. I've known Danica for a few years now and I am excited to see where all God will take her. She's got a big heart for serving and is multi-talented. It's been a blessing to watch her mature and become the beautiful person she is.

Spencer senior portraits (and Gracie)















This photo shoot was taken near downtown Fresno in a couple different places. I originally was looking for a painting I had seen on a wall in Fresno to use as a backdrop but failed to find it--so we improvised by driving all over downtown to find these awesome locations. Spencer, his baby sister Gracie, and parents were all part of this fun outing. I think my favorite part of the shoot was when baby sister Gracie got to be part of the action. Even though she wouldn't "pose" for the camera--she allowed me to capture a couple candid moments that I find to be absolutely priceless. She has the most angelic little face--you can't help but fall in love with how adorable she is.

Wiebe Family portraits










This is a small selection of my favorite photos from my first family photo shoot. Such an awesome family to work with and I was blessed to have them as my guinea pigs this first time around. I honestly wasn't too sure what all to do during this shoot--I didn't want the photos to come off looking too posed or stiff, so I was thankful when they jumped in with a few ideas of their own. One idea that I thought up though for this shoot was the pictures where they wrote messages on their hands. Going into this project I knew that this was the last photo shoot before their daughter moved away for college and I thought it would be neat for her to have a photo for her dorm room with a special message from her parents and younger brothers.
