These two adorable people will be getting married late may! These are just a few photos from their engagement session last month.  They will be getting married in Sacramento and their reception will be at the Auburn Country Club.  They are just too cute together!!

This week has been absolutely crazy!!  We finally got the keys to our new place...last friday at 5pm.  We got everything in and then my hubby left for 2 weeks for training in WA.  The indoor photos are nothing we would want to share at this point but here are a couple of the outdoors....

We have been waiting almost 2 years for the market to improve while living in one rental after another.  Every night my hubby would sit at his computer and look at home prices in certain areas, tracking what has sold and for how much.  He had been tracking the area we were renting and he found a few bank owned properties.  Well, one thing led to another and we made an offer we thought would surely be turned down.  To our surprise (and the realtors) they actually accepted it!

I can't tell you how excited we are to finally have our own place where we hope to grow old together in.  We have been absolutely blessed in our lives with two beautiful children and two careers that keep us running and smiling every day. 

You may remember January 2007 I flew out to Colorado to photograph the engagement session of these two adorable people.  Well they finally tied the not this past Saturday at Arden Hills Country Club here in Sacramento.  There were surprises the entire day and everything went fabulous well.  These two have absolutely fabulous friends and family that made the day beautiful and fun! 

Check out a quick slideshow of the day (click photo). A few of the images are from my assistant Andrea Herman who is new to the photography industry but learning so quickly!

On another note, I am moving this weekend (if we get our keys on Friday).  I have so much to share once we get settled in!

There are few things more fun then shooting an engagement session on private property owned by the happy couple's family.  We explored every nook around the ceremony/reception site.  Here are just a few of my favorites.  I am so excited for the wedding day!!

 On another note, I have 2 more engagement sessions to post as well as 3 weddings.  However, our family will be moving once again next weekend.  I know we have only been in this rental for 6 months, but if everything works out it will be well worth it. 

I have been terrible at posting during 2008, but there is no time to remedy that like the present!  Today I will share with you an engagement session taken back in January...this fabulous couple were married mid-march.  I will post their wedding photographs in a few weeks.  I just have too much to catch my Xanga friends up on!

We took these photographs at a park here in Sacramento the day after the terrible storms.  The ground was soggy wet but the day was beautiful.  We were interviewed by Channel 3 news (talk about the weather), my first 5 seconds on T.V.  I even saw the News caster slip and fall just after he got out of the truck (sorry Mike!!).
