Mr. and Mrs. David Scarpello

I absolutely love it when I get referrals to capture weddings. These two travelled all the way from Nebraska to have their California wedding. Even in the midst of Covid and the raging fires we had, it didn’t stop these two from tying the knot. I wish the location where they got married was an actual venue because the location and the view was breath taking and that’s with all the smoke in the air. Imagine if the skies were completely clear?

This was the parents back yard and drive way. I seriously loved their home. Overlooking all of riverside, and at night can see the lights from the freeway. Seriously, we all know we would love to get married on top of a deck overlooking Riverside.

Of course, this couldn’t have been made possible without their amazing Vendors :)

Please give them some love and follow :)

Alaeya's Starry Cake Smash

Alaeya’s First Birthday Session

As a parent we always hope and pray that our children will behave and listen during our family sessions or even just a session of just the kids. There are times were they will be all smiles and love being in front of the camera, and then there are time when they will cry, hide, or want to be held the entire time. When mom contacted me to shoot Alaeya’s Cake smash I was so excited. I have been their family photographer since her oldest daughter was 1, (She is now 6). I thought this session is going to be amazing because for Christmas photos Alaeya was all smiles. This time she had other plans. She is seriously the cutest baby even when she didn’t feel like turning 1 was going to be fun.

As a parent, we just have to roll with the punches because overall these adorable little kiddos are just showing how great of personalities they have. Take in all the crazy pictures that come during the session because at the end of the day we will laugh about it one day :)

And trust me I have had my fun share with my kids and won’t doubt that it will happen again especially having my 4 kiddos!!

2018

NEW START

---

This year you will see new ideas and pricing coming to effect in 2018. I want to be affordable for

my clients as well as allowing my clients to receive prints rather than just a flash drive of images. I

am guilty of getting pictures done and not printing them and just saving onto my

computer or flash drive.  

Imagine seeing all the beautiful prints up on your wall so every day you can relive that emotion

that you felt when we captured those magical moments? 

like welcoming your little one to this fun adventurous world. 

or maybe when you got down on one knee and proposed to your soulmate?

Or the day you said your "I DOs" 

These are the moments we love to experience

moments that take our breathe away or make time stand still

we should have them all over showing our friends and family that we couldn't be more 

proud of what we have accomplished, emotions we felt, and the personal investment and sacrifice

we made to get there.

So here is to 2018 where more prints will be printed!
