Time flies.......

Wow, I cant believe how fast this year has gone. It is almost September. Which means by the end next month Christmas stuff will be in stores. But on the flip side, it will be my first Christmas as a "professional photographer" and am already getting alot of inquiries, I can't wait to take portraits for the season.

Here are some of the sessions I have been working on lately. I love my job. :)

Our little angel......

I am so very blessed...............

Lets try this again.....

Ugh, so I have tried to update my blog for a couple of days now to no avail. Not sure if it has been Blogspot or my internet or my toddler......anyway, here we go again. I have been doing Senior portraits. They are so much fun to work with. Very bright and happy, full of hope. Very refreshing. I hope I am able to capture a bit of that in my portraits.

Awesome Sunset........

The sunset was so incredible last night, I couldnt resist taking these pics.

Fun Family

This is why I love what I do. Families like this. They make my "job" fun. This little boy was such a ray of light and so happy. I hope they enjoy the pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them.

More from the brothers.......

I love this collage I did for the brothers

Brothers

Maybe it is because I have 2 boys now but I really enjoyed this shoot of two brothers, Wyatt and Wade. They are pretty much the same age as my two so it was fun to watch them interact and compare.

Happy Birthday!!!!

Happy birthday Aiden Kai!!

Father's Day

I recently did several shoots for a Father's Day special. Here are some of them

My newest little man.......

Obviously with a newborn and a two year old I have been pretty busy lately. I have taken a few weeks of from photography but was playing around during that time. Here is the announcement I created for Landen, our newest addition.

So proud......

I was very proud and honored recently when approached by http://www.centralcoastkids.com/ and asked to use one of my photographs for their website. They said the picture is exactly what they wantd to represent Central Coast Kids. What made it even more special is that it is the portrait of a friend's son.

I had to share this picture of our newest bundle of joy. Landen Dean was born on 5-25 at 5:25 PM. He is just perfect. I have been wanting to try to do a shoot on a nice bike and our neighbor was more than happy to help us out. My future rider. :)

Another Awesome Couple

Once again I had the chance to work with an incredible couple. They are expecting their first baby in August. I couldnt limit myself to a few pictures so I thought I would share the link to their gallery.
Sit back, relax and enjoy. http://freezeframestudios.net/mertl/ Lauren

Maternity Shots

I have had the fortune lately of meeting some wonderful couple expecting their first baby. I had so much fun with both of these couples. You could feel the love between them.

Fathers day will be perfect for this little guys daddy. I love motorcycles so this was a great combination of two of my favorite things, portraits of adorable babies and motorcycles.
