Alice contacted me the other day to arrange for a family photo session out in the wilds in Murrieta. The day we met for the shoot, it was windy and you could definitely tell that fall was in the air as it was quite chilly. They also brought along their black Lab named Bailey. All in all, it was a fun photo session with four generations.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

And let’s end with just shot of just Bailey!

Amber came by the other day to have some studio senior portraits taken. We had such a fun time! Amber has a great sense of humor as you can see in the photos. It’s always fun when you don’t mind goofing off a little bit. Amber is a wonderful Christian young lady, and has a busy schedule between school, sports and her volunteer work.

For my clients who are interested in ordering a fine-art gallery wrapped canvas product, December 8th is the last day to order them for delivery before Christmas without incurring a rush charge. This is something that my awesome canvas vendor charges because they get super busy this time of year. If you can hold off until after Christmas, this rush charge does not apply.

Alyssa had the opportunity to take some outdoor family photos of sisters Renee and Kaitlin, and their dog, at Harveston Park the other day. As you can tell, these girls have some personality to them, and the photo shoot was a lot of fun. Some of the shots were taken right after the sun went down and Alyssa was able to catch the glow of the lights from the gazebo.

I had the privilege again to take the school photos for the MorningStar Christian Academy and the Hands of Grace Christian Support Group. These students are an amazing and dynamic group. Not only does it amaze me watching these students mature over the years, but so see their academic levels rise/ It’s such a blessing to work with such a great group of kids and parent educators! Anyway, on to some of the photos…

So Sara came by for some senior photos, and she and Alyssa went over to Harveston one afternoon for a photo shoot. It was a lot of fun to work with her and her family. She has a sweet wonderful Christian spirit and it is a pleasure to know her.

So I get an email from Kaite the other day asking about a surprise photo session for her mother. What a neat idea, and a great Christmas surprise! We had originally thought about doing this shoot in Old Town Temecula, but with all the holiday decorations, we decided that studio shots would probably be better. We met the other evening, and here’s the results. Katie’s father is a Lt. Colonel in the Air Force Reserve, her brother just received his officer’s commission in the Marine Corps, and is a Second Lieutenant. Her husband is a Petty Officer Third Class in the Navy (soon to be promoted to 2nd class!). It was a privilege and an honor to photograph a family that’s given such a commitment of service to our country.

On to the photos:

Now for some more casual photos:

I recently took the school photos for Shiloh Christian Academy. Shiloh is a small Christian school located in Winchester, CA (it’s just only a few minutes away from Temecula). The kids were great! Darlene had everyone ready, and everything went very well.

Here are some of the shots from that day, in no particular order:
