northern california photographer | snazzie drawers jewelry shoot

Shooting with Ashley Maxwell always brings about a very warm, vintage feel to things. I had such a great time with this shoot, its always fun to play dress up, especially when you have these unique accessories. These necklaces are from Etsy Retailer: Joy Stallard of SnazzieDrawers and each one is handmade with beautiful materials that are sure to make a statement. I’d love to wear one with a plain white tank and jeans for a night out. It would transform any outfit, for sure. Ashely did all the styling with these beautiful vintage dresses sold by Della at Betroth, and the makeup was done by Camille Monique. Be sure to check out Betroth, Ashley’s new boutique in Willow Glen, there you’ll find even more vintage jewelry, cute tops and dresses, delicious cupcakes and even some handmade cards, designed by me!! I’ll be posting the cards soon, so be on the lookout for that. There is so much in the works, from a new website/blog to my own line of designs…I can’t wait to share it!

northern california photographer | Family Ties

I got the pleasure of shooting my cute niece and nephew’s bday party. Arash’s sister, Samira, hubby Saman and their adorable kids just moved back to Cali from Arizona. We are SO excited to have them home and to be able to share moments like this as the kids grow up together! Being the oldest in my family and recently married…we don’t really have alot of young kids on my side of the family…Arash and I are far from adding to the clan ourselves but in the meantime…we’ll soak up all the love and energy these guys have! I’m so thankful to have such an amazing extended family.
