Luke was having a great time at his first birthday photo session...right until the cake arrived. But like they say, its his party and he can cry if he wants to! Plus, these will make some darn funny recreations when he’s older. It’s hard to believe it’s already been a year since I was photographing this little cutie as a newborn. #cakesmash #birthdaysession #firstbirthdayphotos #childrensphotographer #familyphotographer

Those post ceremony kisses and cuddles! This little window of private time for our couples is magic. For just a moment, you get to breathe. The planning is finally done; you forget about all the eyes on you and just take in the beautiful space you’ve created with your partner. That feeling in the air is almost tangible. It’s one of my absolute favorite parts of capturing weddings. #weddingphotography #weddingphotographer #modestoweddingphotographer #turlockphotographer #turlockweddingphotographer #californiaweddingphotographer #countrywedding #modestoweddingvendors #bridalphotos #weddingphotos #weddingphotoideas #couplesphotography #couplesphotoshoot #engagementphotoshoot #engagedcouple
