Carrie's Bridal Shower | Sneak Peek

I had the honor to be a guest at my good friend Carrie's Bridal Shower this past weekend at Broken Earth Winery in beautiful (and extremely hot) Paso Robles, Ca.  It was a distinctly bright and beautiful day with temperatures topping 100 degrees and counting - but who's counting, because anything over 100, you just don't want to know about in my opinion. 

I met Carrie roughly 8 years ago when we both worked for Sephora slinging makeup-up brushes and eye cream like it was going out of style.  I can honestly say Carrie was the significant person that made me feel a welcomed part of the team of terrific and talented women that I cherish to this day as some of my truest friends.  She has the warmest heart and is the type of person to give you the shirt off her back and in October will be marrying Jeremy who is cut from the same cloth of kindness. 

Here's a sneak peek into the beautiful day at the winery honoring our dear friend Carrie! (and yes that is a baby in the winery fountain - we were all wishing we were her at that point which is why none of us felt the need to take her our of said fountain but we assure you she was being watched carefully)

Zamora Family | Sneak Peek

I had the honor of photographing my friend and her stunning daughters over the Memorial Day weekend and not only had fun catching up with her, but the added bonus of witty banter with her and her daughters, relaxed photo taking, and a new education on bands I must immediately go look up on Spotify - the huge benefit of teenagers is that they keep you young! 

Here's a brief sneak peek into what we came up with last weekend:

Learning Curve

If you follow along on any of my Social Media channels, you probably know that I like to dabble in many things -- one of those things being photography.  I've been lucky enough to have great friends willing to let me practice on them in order for me to develop, learn and grow as a photographer.  I've started up a Pixieset account where I can post the photos in password locked albums for people, so I can attempt to look all cool and professional.  So far I love Pixieset for the professional look, ease of use and convenience.  I've even been learning how to make blog templates in Lightroom with my photos, which only proves that you can learn just about anything on the internet!

Here's a little of what I've been learning and producing!
