Zook Book Album

The Most Amazing Album I have ever seen...


The cover has many options, but this leather is my favorite. It is like butter- so soft! Options of die-cut windows, glossy image covers, and more.

rounded corners, your choice of guilded edges

"Layflat", with the tiniest of seams. Did I mention the iressistable-to-touch leather?

This album is a large 10"x15". Many other sizes and variations available.

Special Family Photo Session

June 17, 2009

10 Year Anniversary
For Robert and Lori Ollerton

Robert and Lori got married at the Mission Inn in Riverside, CA. They didn't have a photographer, so Lori did her best with an album of snapshots. Last year she approached me with this idea to do a special photo session, at the Mission Inn, on the actual day of their anniversary. The weather was gorgeous, and the company was absolutely pleasant! :D






Will is a young man of many expressions! I couln't help but smile, too!





















Elizabeth loved the camera. She has such a natural smile!

























I love the candids and spontaneous captured moments. Here are the children, enthralled with a fountain (above), and exploring the rotunda (below).


























Happy Anniversary, Rob and Lori. So nice sharing the morning sunshine at the Mission Inn with you.

Montage for School

This is a condensed version of a slide show/montage I did for my daughter's class. (Actual montage was 25 minutes!) It was a nice way to end the end-of-school-year-program. The amazing teacher made sure every parent/child had a copy of the montage along with a book -a very sweet good-bye gift...



Just keeping you up on all my projects.

Oooh- quick note: I cannot take credit for most of the photography! (see the end of the video where the proper credit is due :D)

It was a wonderful school year....

The Guest Book

Sam and Kari's GUEST BOOK, filled with their favorite pictures from their engagement session.


Just had to show this one. I'm really happy with how it turned out!

Here is the front cover, matched to perfection with Kari's colors.

A two page layout. What do you think of the leaf?

"C" for Carlos, fancy & somewhat subtle decoration...

The book on the wedding day... Filling up with well wishes and names of friends and family. Isn't that polka dotted ribbon so sweet? It reminds me of the cake...

Everyone loves the Guest Book!

Wedding: Getting Ready

Sam and Kari's Wedding Day
At the Salon...

These sisters get along so well, and they have so much FUN together!

Here is Kristen Wesselink, THE stylist. She was amazing to watch.


The artistry begins


You would not belive this story!...





















Relaxing...
Rumors Salon in Hemet, CA




"All you have to do is fluff it this way," Kristen says. We all just look at her. She is obviously a natural- none of us could do hair the way she does!




It was a great time with the ladies, hair, hilarious conversation, and a bit of shopping too! Aren't these tops SO cute? They coordinated so nicely in their causal evening outfits later on that night.






















Hair was done in the morning, and the wedding wasn't until late afternoon, so Kristen came to the venue to make sure everything was perfect. Above and beyond, I'd say.

Beautiful aren't they?










Gorgeous hair for some gorgeous ladies.

"Sneak Peeks" of the actual wedding coming next!
