Kids // Alhambra Christmas Tree Farm

 

We were on the hunt for our Christmas tree last weekend. Let me tell you about Alhambra Christmas Tree Farm. Located at 2647 Reliez Valley Rd in Martinez. They have a pretty good selection! We were going back and forth between two. I like the location and there is beautiful golden hour light here as well. We brought a veteran (my dad who had a Christmas tree lot for a few years) and he showed Rhys the ways of picking out the best tree. I just love Rhys’ genuine reaction to my dad. He loves his grandpa so much, we all had a good time at the Alhambra Christmas tree farm. We picked out a 8-9 foot noble fir and they loaded it in the car.

Engagement // Ashley+Justin // Lake Tahoe

 

I had so much fun photographing Ashley and Justin this winter. We started out adventuring on a snow mobile, playing with a vintage sled that was a family heirloom, ending our shoot with a gorgeous sunset at King's Beach. There has been a lot of snow in Lake Tahoe recently and we lucked out with the perfect weekend of weather. So excited for these two! Congrats!!!

Best Friends

 

I recently photographed a lifestyle shoot with my sister and her best friend at the local reservoir. I just love the light at the end of the day, it made for some really beautiful portraits. Enjoy! Model: Sydney Larsen and Paige Zilinskas
