Christmas time means Family Portraits!

Fall is one of the most fun times for a photographer. The colors are changing, there is less harsh sunlight in the middle of the day, and families begin to think about their Christmas card picture. Family Portraits are a blast! We take our families on location, to show off the changing colors, beautiful sunlight and incredible landscape fall has to offer us. With the Chelette Family, we went to California Citurs State Historic Park in Riverside, Ca.
















We still have a few openings in December, just in the knick of time for those Christmas cards. If you are interested in a family portrait session, mention this blog and save $20!

Halloween with the Corona's

Kara is never deprived of pictures, but they are the typical, capturing every day life - kinda boring after a while - kind of pictures. Today was special... she got to dress up and she absolutely LOVED her ladybug costume. She would walk around pointing to herself saying, "Look!" or "I love it!" It was priceless. We snapped several of her running around the yard... these are sure to go life-size in her room as we re-do it for Christmas! The captured her personality perfectly... giddy, giggly, gleeful and yes, even a little blurry!

-enjoy :)

Kara Noelle - 1 Year Old

Even though we specialize in wedding and event photography, we love doing family pictures! In particular, I love doing infant/toddler pictures! Turning one is a BIG deal, and toddler portraits are great presents!! Our little one, Kara Corona is going to be one year old in a couple weeks!!! We can hardly believe how fast time has flown by... and how much she has grown! She is a little lady now! We took a couple (haha, yeah right!) pictures for her first birthday, so I can include one in her birthday invitations. She takes such great pictures, even when she is being a grump!! Here are a few of my favorite!

Corona Baby Grows!!

Our little Kara is now 8 months old. Although we have taken pictures of her every month, we have not posted them on the blog because we try to keep it mainly for current client events. However, we have a bias to our little one and cannot help but share our joy with you...she is growing so fast, and so beautifully. She is such an amazing miracle in our lives! Below are a few of her recent pictures....and I promise, our next post will be back to clients! - Liz

P90x - The Proof

The new fitness craze.... P90X. I recently introduced my old EMT partner, Zach, to the program..... Sure it's not wedding or engagement pictures but the results are definitely picture worthy! Here are a few snapshots I took!



This is a fitness program that guarantees results within 90 days.... hence the name P90X. The routine consists an hour to an hour and a half work out 6 days a week with rest or stretching on the 7th day. You alternate your strength training and cardio days, so 3 per week each. You repeat your workouts for 4 weeks - then the muscle confusion hits!! Your strength training days become new workout for the next 4 weeks... then again the strength training workouts change. So each month you are doing cardio and 3 new strength training workouts. All this combined with a wonderful nutrition plan and the weight will fall off. Just check out the results!








.... and here's what P90x did for me!!

Branching Out Into Portraits!

In the past, Nick and I have always focused on the wedding and engagement side of the business and mainly offered portraits to family and close friends. As word started to get around that we were doing portraits, it became more and more apparent that there is a great need for quality portraits that are not your typical Sear's portrait session.

We have been contacted to photograph newborns, toddlers, families, seniors and even models! We are now offering portraits and on location photos...so, we decided that we should make it official and begin our Portrait offering with a discount!
