Have you ever seen the cutest mommy bump and just wished to be pregnant for the first time OR all over again? Or are you of those that can just simply hear another's babies cry and your own mommy chest begins to tighten as if it is time to nurse? Well, being a mommy of 7 pumpkins, I have experienced it ALL! Being a mother has been of the HIGHEST honor that God has ever gifted my body with!! Loved, loved, holding each one in my internal jewelery box. I am truly done having

I LOVE unique weddings...A day that takes my lens by surprise!! I just bought my new DREAM LENS 85MM 1.4, with NANO CRYSTAL COAT, if I may add, and so her and I were ONE during the whole day!! She is my new buddy as she makes me look good..HA! I will come up with a name for her soon and I will keep you posted. LOL! Together, we saw so many vibrant colors, sparkly jewels on the forehead, neck and wrists. Seing them smile through the smoky haze, bubbles and tossed rose petal

The perfect pallet of a BEAUTIFUL venue, an amazingly sexy wedding party, a breezy sunlit day, the color BLUSH & a groom that was SMITTEN by his bride!! He will be remembered by me as the "new" husband that could not keep his lips off of his Bride!! So many smiles, good friends, supportive love and even tears, the day is now complete! With memories to live on and on in our minds thru these images. Feeling pretty certain that the next time we partake from a taco truck, the

I had the privilege of taking pictures of one of THEE MOST darling couples and their little baby Evan yesterday at Knights Ferry! It was one of those sessions when you walk away knowing that what you got was PURE GOLD! Big thank you to little Evan who behaved so GREAT! Mommy who smiled with absolute perfection, and daddy who looked STONG, HANDSOME and STELLAR ...as I always wish for in my male models! What an amazing braid you all are weaving togehter and I cannot wait to ph

A "little bird" called me one day asking if I would be available on her wedding date. I was delighted to meet her and as well very happy that my calendar was open. After "connecting", we both knew that we would be the perfect team! We planned a little romantic picture day in the city. Several hours of frolicking in the wind, sipping from hot chocolate mugs and capturing every angle of love that we possibly could with Ryan...her soon to be! The "goal" was sunset at the Golde

Here comes the bride, all dressed in White (or Blush or Beige...LOL) Yes, there are still wonderful traditions that exist among our beautiful bride and grooms such as garter toss, something borrowed or blue and even, having all matching bridesmaids! But, there is a tradition that is being broken, more and more often, and it is one that all benefit from...HAVING A FIRST LOOK PRIOR TO CEREMONY!! If you are wondering if it is a good idea or not, we will always advise with a res

Such a beautiful time of year it is! I LOVE the colors of Fall!! I grew up in Los Gatos, Ca in the best neighborhood ever, where the fall trees lined the streets with such splendor. I moved many years back to the Central Valley and I find that same type of fall feeling here too. This season particularly, I find myself torn to take down my fall decorations, even though my beautifully lit noble fir stands erect in the corner. I have to say, I have never had a year where my

This vintage dress has been worn by 5 generations. The pressure to fit into it. The will to carry on the tradition of love that has gone before her. Yet, oh the joy of wearing it! Yes, the smiles that have proceeded her and are carried on to the next generation. Hemmed and mended as marriages so often need to be…enduring the covenant that will last a lifetime and embracing the love that is worn from year to year… xoxo, http://www.sweetjojophoto.com #californiawedding #baeut

An elegant bride with an amazing smile softly holds onto a very handsome groom that smiles back! These two are meant to be. The backdrop at the Silver Creek Country Club is stunning! The cake was a masterpiece along with every small detail of the day. The stars lined up for these two and I am so grateful to be a part of it!! #silvercreekcountryclub #sweetjojophotography #sweetjojophoto #wedding #romance #bayareaweddingphotographer #bayareweddings #centralvalleyweddingphotogr
