I had no idea it was so beautiful. It's been a long time since I've seen leaves change colors (San Diego doesn't get much of that) and it was like a slice of heaven walking among red and brown crackling leaves and brightly colored trees. I can't wait to go again next year.

Carol is a hot mama of two and though she would not tell me how she keeps her body in such rockin' shape, I still adore her because she's one of the sweetest clients I've had. After her husband saw her photos, she emailed me to say that he is a "happy man". What man wouldn't be, coming home to such loveliness?

My good friend Carmen & her husband Ames brought this beautiful baby girl into the world back in June of this year and I was ecstatic to help them show off their little princess. Charley has such a great temperament that she was never fussy during the shoot. Just happy and maybe a little drooly. =)



















My absolute favorite image of her.

Just a few of this little angel for now...

Boy meets girl through online dating. Boy and girl fall in love. Boy marries girl at the Desert Botanical Gardens right before sunset. And it was beautiful.

What else can I say about these two besides the fact that they are the sweetest couple ever!!! Both of them (and their family & friends) were so easy-going throughout the day that I found myself asking, "Should I really be this relaxed during a wedding?" But I was. And it was grand.

Onto more important things...Heather & Brian, and their big day.




Everyone had a heck of a time trying to pin on the boutonnieres, especially Brian's mom!


It was love at first sight.


I love this moment they were sharing.
















No wedding at the Desert Botanical Gardens would be complete without a photo with the saguaros.
















And I'll end this wedding post with a good night kiss...
