My Baby Boy…

Well folks, our little baby boy arrived right on his due date!  It was absolutely a wonderful experience at Sutter Roseville Memorial Hospital and everything went well.

Trevor Kellen was born on 25 June 08 at 12:25am.  He is a big boy at 939oz and 21 1/2 inches long!  Wow!  Sam and I have strong feeling about the meaning of our childrens’ names being something significant.  Trevor = prudent Kellen = mighty warrior.  (His BIG sister’s name is Reagan Audrey…  Reagan = little ruler Audrey = noble strength.)

Trevor broke his collar bone during the delivery, but he will be okay.  He is going through a healing process that will take about 2 months, but he will be just fine.  (It’s still so sad to see that your little baby is hurt!)

We are home now and resting.  Reagan absolutely loves her little brother.  I can’t believe it was a short year and a half ago that we did all this with her!  My how time flies.  We are all doing great and thank you from everyone who has wished us well!

Updates…Reminders…

Hello Friends!

I just wanted to remind everyone that I will be having a baby very soon!  Yeah!  :)

Currently all orders are complete and up to date.  Any orders placed after this week MAY have an additional processing time due to this new little bundle of joy I hope to welcome to the world very soon!

I appreciate your understanding and will definitely keep you posted on our news!

Take care,

Beth

Liz and Jeff

Liz and Jeff’s Engagement Session…  It was a beautiful day, the lighting was perfect, location the same and Liz and Jeff—well—they just added to the greatness of the shoot!  It was so fun listening to their love story of Jeff’s sentimental proposal and just watching the two of them together.  They have so much love for one another and TONS of fun together!  Reviewing the shoot gave me the chance to sit back and reflect on the time I shared with them and the special moments they had just during the time I was with them!  Thank you for letting me into your lives in such a special time.  Congratulations to you both!

A Little Behind…

Well, I am a little behind, but please don’t lose faith in me!  No- I haven’t had the baby yet!  :)    I have Liz and Jeff’s session to post and some other random things that I have done that may or may not get posted!  But Liz and Jeff…you are next!

See ya soon!

Kathy and Mark: Engagement Session

What a beautiful location Kathy chose for she and Mark’s engagement session today! Since I am fairly new to the Sacramento area, I am not totally familiar with locations to have fun with downtown Sac. Well, Kathy pulled through with an awesome location that I will definitely go back to! (Thanks Kathy!) I had a total blast with both of them and I can’t wait for your wedding. You were so much fun, and after looking through some of the images, I can reflect on how much fun the two of you have with one another! Your laughter is contagious! Thank you so much for such a fun shoot and I can’t wait to be a part of your glorious wedding day!

There were some beautiful roses still in bloom and we just HAD to take advantage of them!

The sun was so hot, although MUCH nicer then two weeks ago when it was over 100! Thanks for sticking with me Kathy and Mark!

Mark was Mayor Pro Tem for the city of West Sacramento, and his name is on this plaque on the Riverwalk! How awesome is that?!! We HAD to take a shot or two in front of it!

I just love the soft look Kathy and Mark have as they peer over their shoulders. It is such a serene and sweet moment.

So romantic!

Cynthia and Anthony

I had a great shoot the other night with an amazing young couple. Cynthia and Anthony have been married for over two years, and have been together since they were 15 years old! They are so full of love and admiration for one another that I just couldn’t stand it! I loved shooting them and admire the love they so clearly have for one another! Here is a little snapshot of some of my fav’s of the day. The rest are in the works. Thank you so much Cynthia and Anthony!

Ashlee’s Trash the Dress

Ashlee was such a trooper!  We were out there in the Salton Sea crunchy nasty “sand” if you want to call it that, and she did anything I asked her to!  She rolled around in it, played with it, you name it!  She did an awesome job and I wanted to share just a couple of the shots.  My fav is the grainy black and white.  I LOVE that grain!  Thanks so much Ashlee!

BBC- Jamie Delaine

Jamie Delaine was at the Business Boot Camp with me and I am thrilled that I was able to meet her!  She is a motivated, talented and upstanding young woman who is taking Vancouver, BC by storm!  I have every faith that she will excel as a photographer and business woman.  She already has killer plans and a fantastic business going!  Unfortunately, Jamie had to leave a little early, and I didn’t get nearly enough shots of her, but did get this one that I enjoy.  Check her out!

Women Rule! On A Personal Note…

Sometimes something happens in our lives that is so powerful that you have to take a minute and savor it.  I am experiencing this in so many ways in my own life, and found out that a dear friend of mine has much to celebrate herself!

Prior to becoming a full time photographer and while living in Cheyenne, WY I worked with patients who did not have prescription insurance and assisted them in getting their medications free from the pharmaceutical companies.  It was a very successful program and we brought in over $10 million dollars in about 3 years!  I started the program with absolutely no knowledge of what I was getting into, and never a thought about all of the people I was going to meet that would touch my life in such significant ways.

One outstanding woman I met was Rhonda.  She has shared with me that she recently was selected as 1 in 80 out of 3000 applicants in a Women Rule Women’s Leadership Summit sponsored by the O Magazine, American Express, and the White House Project!  Congratulations Rhonda and the city of Cheyenne, WY!  What a blessing to everyone!  Rhonda- you have been making great things happen and more continue coming because of your vision, drive, determination and faith in what God has in store! I am so proud of you and I miss you immensely.

This is a spin on High Fashion and Trash The Dress photography.  I found these images I took that I had skipped over months ago.  How beautiful is the lighting and the sky?!  Wow!Dark Wedding Day
