The Nelsons!!!

I love love love this family.  I grew up knowing Jeremy and even lived right across the street from his family for several years.  Britni is amazing and gorgeous....and together they make the most beautiful children!! LOL.  Bailey and Kennedy were a total riot to work with.  This family is one of a kind and they are such a joy to work with.  I am so glad that I got to take their family photos this year! How can you not love these?!?! ~es

The Pierson Family

I was lucky enough to capture and old friend who was visiting in town with her family to do a session.  We found an orchard that was absolutely perfect to capture some great photos of her family and her adorable little girls.  I had so much fun with them and they look so cute!!  How can you not love this?? :) ~es

 

Chase & Emily Bennett

I am slightly behind on updating my blog so I am now playing catch up.  About one week after getting back from Africa I had a wedding scheduled with this amazing couple!! Chase and Emily had actually known each other for several years before they even started dating but once they did it was history from there! They were married in the Sacramento Temple for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  There is a sacred ceremony performed which cameras are not allowed to capture, but it is indeed a beautiful ceremony.  Chase and Emily are so perfect for each other and super in love!! It is so adorable!  Here are some shots from their special day that I was lucky enough to be a part of.  ~es

Africa - the last day - EARTHWAVE

So my last day in South Africa was sort of a treat to be honest.  Every year in Muizenberg where I was staying (a small surf city infamous for the famous beachfront huts); a small city just outside of Cape Town, South Africa competes in a competition to hold the World Guinness Record for having the most surfers UP on one wave at the same time.  They held the record in 2009 for having 110 people up on the wave.  This year was close, but they did not quite beat their own victory from last year.  This year landed them 93 people on one wave.  Still a big achievement if you ask me! It was pretty overcast and ended up raining, but that did not stop these people for showing up to show their support to keep the title. ~es

This is the beachfront in Muizenberg.  These shots were not taken on my last day, but I just wanted to show you the landmark.  It was a much sunnier day this day. LOL.

Front view of the huts.  They are empty.  I think people can change in them.  They are not really utilized.  

There were so many surfers out there!! It was crazy! An awesome experience.  

 

You can not see very well, but ALL of the tiny black dots out on the wave are actual people!
