It’s once again my favorite time of the year, Autumn! And what better way to start off the season than a family photo shoot with my friend Autumn! It was a beautiful day and a beautiful location! It was a lot of fun photographing Autumn and her kids, and we got a lot of great shots.

It is the busiest time of the year for me right now, so there is little time to post, but I wanted to make sure I posted some shots from last weekend's Senior Session with Emily. I had a blast shooting these, and you can tell from the images that Emily had just as much fun.
If you or someone you know needs Senior Pictures, I am booking weekend sessions through the end of October.

We didn’t let a little rain or cloudy skies stop us from getting the shot we wanted, a beautiful sunset and an awesome time with this great couple! Laura Perez Barrabi

With digital photography, it’s become so much easier to capture great images than it ever was with film, but just like with film, regardless of how beautiful your location is or how stunning of a subject you have it’s not a guarantee that you will create an image that perfectly captures the moment and the essence of the person you are photographing.
But sometimes, everything lines up perfectly and you get an image that just blows you away.

Finally got time to finish up all the images from my session with Brooke. I am absolutely in love with the light that comes in through her front window, and may have to move in with her just to have access to it anytime I want...lol.

I had a great time hanging out with Tim, Adri, and Jazmin today and in spite of the wind and chilly temperatures we were able to get a lot of great shots!
