Stephanie Borba’s BEAUTIFUL shower

Stephanie and Louie are soon to be wed….if the shower is ANY indicator of how the wedding will turn out it will be just PERFECT!!! Stephanie and her girls put on one heck of a shower! Of coarse a picture is worth a thousand words….. Stephanie’s shower was held at Pageo one of my FAVORITE venues! Stephanie and her fabulous wedding party enhanced the rustic-chic feel of Pageo with decor that truly complimented Pageo’s style! I just loved everything about this shower….from the sweets table, the cake made by Deb of Creative Cakes, birchwood Etsy centerpieces created by Tammy at Infinite Creations, to the beautiful food display by Hilmar Cheese it really was a MUST NOT miss! I just love, love, love all of the details! Sooo excited for the wedding!

Kick’n it at the Kistler Ranch

I was so honored to work with Kelly and Matt on their wedding day.  I worked with her sister, Taylor,  a few years ago on her wedding and I just adore their family!!!  The best word to describe them is lovely!  Kelly was filled with excitement on their wedding day she was glowing from head to toe!  Kelly and Matt selected the perfect spot to hold their wedding….Matt’s backyard-The Kistler Ranch. Kelly had a vision of country chic.  Immediately after getting engaged she put her Dad to work on all of the details!  Mark Lytle is a fabulous designer and made her vision come to life. Guests entered the ceremony through the hay barn where they were greeted with vintage doors, windows and even her mom’s wedding dress.  For the ceremony guests were seated on the most appropriate country seats….hay bales.  As Kelly walked down the aisle she gleamed from head to toe when met Matt’s eyes. The wedding party was full of FUN!!!  The girls were dressed in yellow with fabulous hair done by Chrissy from Streaks Salon.  I just love her creativity!  The boys were dressed in grey and yellow…hair done by themselves:) The reception was held in […]

Farm Fun with the Piccardo Family

What is it about little boys….they look like angels but once in awhile you can see a little spark in their eye that tells you they are much more complex then that!!! These three little ones were such a joy to capture! As you can see they were born to farm! They are totally at home on a tractor or next to a large piece of equipment! There were so many faves on this session it is next to impossible to pick. Here are a few….some make me laugh because of the boys expressions!!! Thanks for including me in your family session at the farm!
