Of course, I couldn't have had as much fun or have gotten some wicked shots without my fellow J. Thanks Jocey Shannon for yet another amazing night session!!

Rain, Rain, Go Away!

Dear Mother Nature & California,

I appreciate your beauty & charm. The beautiful full trees, wispy weeds softly waving in wind, crisp blue skies soaking up the golden rays of sun.

However, this year you've been slacking. Not pulling your weight around here like you should be. You are making it difficult shooting beautiful weddings & super adorable engagement sessions. I'm starting to get annoyed finding overhangs to shoot under or having to balance a camera & umbrella at the same time.

So, please let this letter find a way into your heart and bring back our normal sunny, beautifully warm, Cali weather!

Had a break in the weather last night, for a very cool Downtown Chico photo session with Justin & Chrystelle!

Of course I could not have had a better time then with my other J, Jocey Shannon!!!

More pics of this stunning couple soon!!

Totally Rad Night at the Fair!!

My personal fav!!! love, Love, LOVE these two!!

I must be getting old...the only thing I like about going to the fair is the food!

Everything is deep fried and on a stick! Start with a cheese on a stick, an asiago-pepperoni pretzel (the size of my head), washed down with fresh lemonade & finished off with a funnel cake, loaded with cinnamon & sugar! Oh, my heart hurts just rethinking about the food! :) This year I went to the fair not once, but twice! No, not just to eat, but to work. I had so much fun shooting Sam & Anthony's beautiful engagement session with Jocey, owner of Jocey Shannon Photography. Her clients were so rad, down for anything & tons of laughter. {Their pics up soon!} Then Jocey & I had a great idea....let's come back the next night and do some night photography, with a super wicked couple! Throw in some off camera lighting & celebrate with another round of fair treats!! Here are some of my favs from the night shoot. A huge THANK YOU to Jessica & Tony Roach for always being down for modeling for me! They are my go-to rockstars, so it was an extra special way to celebrate their one year anniversary with such a totally rad photo shoot!!

I heart Jessica's attention to detail, the rad shoes, adorable outfit, super hot hair & beautiful makeup. {Want the best hair? You can find more about Jessica HERE}

The next few photo are totally against my "norm" photo style. I don't like props, I don't like loud cheap toys, but I totally love how these little aliens give this such a eerie look. Sometimes it's fun to step outside of the box!

RAD!!!

I adore this one! Because when Tony & Jessica allowed me to capture their engagement photos and then their wedding one year ago, this is the same pose they did during each session!

Tony is truly one of the most laid back, down for anything kinda guy! Jess scored with him!

Of course it wouldn't be complete without Jocey & I ending photo....

Little somethin' somethin'

Zebra print....hot pink....and a stunning couple!!! How awesome is that?!?

Here's a little love to Nicole & Blake for allowing me the great honor of being their wedding photographer!!!

Just a little teaser, check back soon to view their whole gallery!! ~Jenn

Meet the J's

I have had the great pleasure to become friends with another fabulous photographer, Jocey of Jocey Shannon Photography. Lately we have been working together to create a well tuned team of two professional photographers for awesome clients who want only the best! Jocey & I decided we needed to start a new tradition...a photo of the two of us while out shooting!

One of my favorite things about a fair? Besides funnel cake? Cheese on a stick!!! Yummy! While shooting an engagement session at the Butte County Fair this week, Jocey & I stopped for a refreshing lemonade & quick photo taken by our clients. Where will the J's be next?!?

Ashley & Danny's Wedding

Third time is a charm. So the saying goes. However, I've noticed a trend happening with my past three brides and their weddings. It rained. Three weddings in a row. It rained. Yet, each bride was so radiate and happy, that not even the freezing rain was going to stop them getting the photos they wanted!

This past weekend, I had the great honor of capturing the Erickson-Diamond wedding. Such a fun loving & beautiful couple, what better place then the majestic Bidwell Presbyterian Church to make it official.

The love these two have was not only amazing to capture, but very special to be surrounded by it. Their enormous loving family, made Mr & Mrs Diamonds wedding day all that more beautiful.

Thank you Ashley & Danny. For not only allowing me to share your wedding day with you, but for showing the world just how beautiful love can be. Enjoy this sneak peek, I look forward to showing you lots more very soon! All my love~Jenn

Go for it!!!

Today's Senior Session with James was pretty killer! I used a new location, that looked super cool, but when faced with a camera, it made me use every technical skill I could muster to get the shot 'just right'! Not bragging....OK maybe I am, but yes, I got the look I was going for despite the super harsh sun & super dark tunnel. Right out of the camera....what do you think?

Nicole & Blake Engagement

Today's Engagement Session with Nicole & Blake was Ahhhhmazing!!! I couldn't resist posting a little sneak into how wonderful todays session was! More to come very soon.

Garcia Family

One of the greatest honors as photographer, is when a current client passes on my name to their family & friends. Nothing gives me pleasure the way referrals do. I was so pleased when the Garcia family called me & asked me to take their holiday photos, after being referred by one of my first & often clients!

A breathtaking day in the park, with orange floating to the ground, reds bursting with sunlight & greens kissing the trees. Add the Garcia family & what a perfect photo session it was!

Their two adorable & sweet cheeks kiddos had so much fun, it made it hard to capture them. But I think it's better anyways to have photos of the kids smiling natural & just having fun. After all, that is what a happy beautiful life is all about.

Thank you so much Garcia family for allowing me to take your family photos! I enjoyed getting to know your family & plotting to steal your fashion sense Tiffany! All my love~Jenn

Mino Family

As a proud parent of two kids who enjoy the Silver Dollar BMX track, I donated a Family Portrait Session during their fundraiser dinner this year. It's always a wonder; 'Who will bid on my photo session?' 'Will someone actually bid on my session?' 'Will I have to bid on my own auction if someone doesn't bid on it?' Ha! So I was thrilled to learn the Mino Family won the photo package!

What a fun & beautiful family the Mino Family are. Two adorable kids, a perfect fall backdrop & a fun afternoon!

Thank you so much Mino family! It was great meeting you four. I had a great time laughing & talking shop with you. We'll be seeing you at the track 'Mouse'! All my love, Jenn

As a mother of two kids myself, I never bribe other kids with candy. Just my own. So instead I 'celebrate' with the kids on the last photo with a funny face picture. Works better then candy every time! Now if that would only work on my own...

Raby Family

This year I fell in love with the colors of fall. Actually every year I fall in love with those burnt oranges & crisp yellows, but this year I got to share the love.

The Raby family are not only neighbors, but have become friends of ours over the years. Their adorable kids spend many hours outside with ours, and watching the little ones grow up together is such a joy.

So I was honored when the Raby's asked me to take their family holiday photos. Capturing this beautiful & super fun family, while playing in the fall leaves was a great pleasure.

Thank you Zach & Sarah for allowing me to take your family photos this fall. I enjoyed my time with your great family & next time I'll let you treat me to a burger & shake too! All my love~Jenn

Stephanie & Robert

Rain on a wedding day is believed to be Good Luck. It restores & strengthens the unity of a husband and wife. Good thing it rained on Stephanie & Robert's wedding day. Not that they need luck. They have each other. They have Love.

Tucked away in the small town of Red Bluff, CA the rain softly fell to the earth, onto those celebrating in the marriage of this fun couple. Originally planning for a beautiful outdoor wedding, Stephanie quickly reorganized her year long plans to have their wedding indoors. After all, it's not about where Rob & Stephanie got married, but what the meaning for these two was, as they said 'I Do'.

With the wind & cold blowing outside, Rob & Stephanie danced the night away under a canopy of lights. Surrounded by their 200 closest family & friends, Love filled the room. It's easy to watch Rob & Stephanie and instantly see the fun they have together. Their Love for one another. Their Love for those in their life.

Rain on a wedding day is a great thing. Love keeps your heart warm & laughter keeps your spirit full. Stephanie & Rob~Thank you for allowing me to be your wedding photographer. It was an amazing day & one I'll never forget! Every time it rains, may it rain with Love. All my love~Jenn

Caitlin & Ryan Engagement

A little rain doesn't hurt any body. In fact, sometimes it's more fun playing in the rain then hiding from it!

Caitlin & Ryan came all the way to Chico from San Jose, for their engagement session. A little rain did not deter this high energy & full of laughter couple! If anything it made it more fun for all of us!

Ryan & Caitlin, it was a pleasure dancing & laughing in the rain with you two. I'm honored to be your wedding photographer for your September 17th wedding. Now that we got the rain out of the way....I'm sure it will be a picture perfect day, for such a picture perfect couple. All my Love~Jenn

Love when I find a clue that another photographer was recently here....I can't take the credit for the writing on the wall, but I couldn't pass it up either!

Jenea & Carl

Family. That is what Jenea & Carl are all about. Their family. Perfect little family with their 3 adorable children. Their families coming together to celebrate their breathtaking wedding. Their friends who are treated as a part of their family. Isn't that what a beautiful and full life is all about? Family.

Jenea and Carl picked an amazing location to combine their families into one. The Green Valley Country Club in Vacaville, CA. It housed the perfect backdrop for their vows. With lush greens, an old historic building and breathtaking views; Carl & Jenea shared their love, their joys & their tears with 100 of their closest family and friends. With every little detail planned a year in advance, red rose petals & bouquets were placed everywhere. Red hot candies were one of 30 different candies offered at the delicious candy table. Red roses topped the most amazing (and delicious) wedding cake I've ever seen! But to top of the color red, Jenea arrived in her father's beautiful red '57 Chevy.

After all isn't Love the color of Red? And this wonderful family is full of love for one another as well as everyone in their lives. Carl & Jenea, every time I enjoy some red hots, I will be thinking of the two of you. Thank you for allowing me to not only capture your beautiful day, but making me a part of your wonderful family. All my love ~Jenn

Shane & Erika

If you looked in the dictionary and found the word beautiful, you would see Erika & Shane. Yes they both are gorgous, but they also have the most loving souls. These two are not only just beautiful, but perfect. Perfect for each other. Beautiful together. So it was no surprise that October 2, 2010 was just that. Beautifully Perfect.

Every now and then I get a Bride who wants her whole day captured & asks me to spend 12 hours with them on their wedding day doing just that. And what better place then to spend that entire day then at the Canyon Oaks Country Club in Chico. This venue is Amazing. Their outdoors ceremony took place in front of the cutest gazebo, just next to the greens. With 150 of their closest friends & families celebrating their love and union of their families, Shane said 'I Do' with the promise of allowing Erika to come home from shopping and not look at the bill. While Erika's vow of "I Do" promised to let Shane watch sports uninterrupted. That is true love.

A quick trip away from the ceremony spot, allowed us some unique photos right on the greens. Where Mr & Mrs Burreson enjoyed some alone time, while Nicole Roberts, who graciously offered to be my 2nd shooter for the day, and I captured their beautiful essence. Seriously Beautiful.

Up in the Reception venue, the room lit by a breathtaking chandelier, guest dined, danced & celebrated late into the night. Slipping into a second gown, Erika and Shane, with wedding party in tow, headed to downtown Chico to their favorite hangout. The Wild Horse Salon. Not only did they dance the whole evening, but these two actually rode the bull. Yes. I got pictures.

Shane & Erika, I simply adore the two of you. Thank you for allowing me the great honor of spending your entire wedding day with you, capturing the laughter, tears & boot stomping fun. But for also coming into my life as new friends. I wish you all the happiness & joy in the world, and know that your marriage will always be Beautifully Perfect. All my love ~Jenn
