San Diego Wedding: Mike + Bethany
May 23, 2011 | Filed Under Couples, Events | 1 Comment
The warm sun and crisp, cool breeze made for a gorgeous morning to be married in San Diego, California. We were all so excited for Bethany’s wedding day to arrive. The youngest of 7 siblings and last to be married, my sister-in-law inspired a bitter/sweet reunion for the whole family.
‘Bitter’ because we can’t believe she is all grown up and starting a life of her own! It seems like yesterday when I met my husband’s family for the first time. Bethany asked me to play with her and we jumped on the trampoline in the back yard all afternoon. Then I got schooled in a friendly game of volleyball by all the sisters. That was when she was eight. Bethany is still just as lively, cheerful and full of energy now as she was then.
‘Sweet’ because we love an excuse to get together and party like there’s no tomorrow! I have the best sisters…and do they know how to get a party started! Welcome to the family Mike!
Mike & Bethany were married in the San Diego Temple. It was truly a fairy tale wedding…including the beautiful princess, gorgeous castle and the handsome prince. It was perfect.
All the bright colors of the wedding were so lovely!
Bethany had the most gorgeous wedding dress! Love, love, love!
the ring…
This little face cracks me up. Kids are so fun…especially at weddings.
the bridesmaids…
My sweet husband who held the baby so I could take a few photos at the wedding. What a handsome guy. I’m so lucky to have him!
Family Portraits Kailua: the Jensens

Dramatic, diverse, beautiful…North Beach was a perfect setting for the gorgeous Jensen family.
Creating a day where the family can make memories and spend an enjoyable time together is just as important to me as taking great pictures. I believe that the experience from start to finish really adds to the feelings and emotions behind the photographs.
By the end of the session, the kids were laughing and splashing in the ocean. The water was so cool and refreshing on such a warm morning. I love a playful ending like that!
I just couldn’t fit all of the photos I loved into the slideshow so below are some more of my favorites.
What a beautiful day!
Happy Easter!

God has blessed us with so much love and beauty in the world. I see His blessings every day when I look at my sweet children. I’m so thankful for the gospel of Jesus Christ and the many reminders of His love and sacrifice for us that Easter brings. Have a beautiful day!

Jasmine Star Workshop with CreativeLIVE
April 15, 2011 | Filed Under Events | Comments Off on Jasmine Star Workshop with CreativeLIVE
Last fall I had the chance to watch Jasmine Star photograph a wedding live in Seattle. Creative Live hosted a 5 day j* wedding photography workshop that was completely amazing. Although I currently am not in the wedding photography business, I love Jasmine Star’s work and have had the privilege of meeting her and seeing her speak three times this last year. She is hilarious and a wonderful speaker!
Fast forward several months and I learn that Jasmine Star is doing another workshop with Creative Live: How to Build Your Photography Business. I waited for two months with the date reserved on my calendar. I was not disappointed.
Here’s a preview of her wedding business workshop below:
