Call me crazy, but I am pretty sure Ruby is smiling at me in this photo. Seriously! Look at her little dogie mouth!

the Tres Amigos.

One of my favorite things, besides watching my own kids grow and change, is to do a photo shoot at the same time every year, meet Ethan, Colton, and Isabella. It is soooo fun to see them grow....i love it!
"Wait for me guys..."


what a privilege, Thanks!

Meet Ruby & Brooke.

Brooke will be so excited she FINALLY made it to 'the blog', not once but TWICE. I had a ridiculously good time shooting these! Not only did Brooke come ready-to work! She also put Ruby to work....during the shoot she would say, "Work with me Ruby." Darn cutest thing!!!

I love you Brooke Raven. I won't make you say I'm your favorite Aunt...ok, well, maybe just one time...

gotcha Nana. (;

the Hunsaker Wedding

Ok, so I lied...we did have a wee bit of water...but can you blame me? After all, the name of the town is Three Rivers... btw look at Melissa's dress...and her train isn't even down here...Gorgeous!
Do you think something is something fundamentally wrong with me that silly faces and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are always some of my favorite shots? Never mind, don't answer that...this is a public blog...
smokin'!

Thank you! thank you, Tim & Melissa! Your Joy! was contagious! Blessings.

the 3 day Countdown!

Take One:
Yes, this is Tim & Melissa...well, their feet anyway...Tim owns a gravel pit on the most beautiful piece of property. Isn't the pattern of the mud amazing? That's what I thought... Take Two:
It's a good thing for me Melissa was game to buy another pair of shoes and go at it again! (:
This time to Celebrate their day, we are going to another piece of beautiful property in Three Rivers, CA www.whitehorseinn.info

No second takes...Nikolai Designs is taking a strict no mud AND no water policy!!

Looking forward to Sunday guys! (:
