Cousin Joe and his sweet girl Deb! {we will!}

When we heard the GREAT news that cousin Joe had proposed to his long time love, Deb, the rejoicing was heard from miles away!  They are truly an adorable couple and are genuinely wonderful people. Click on the photos below to view their sweet slide show! 

Side note: On a cold Michigan day, Joe and Deb and I stepped outside our grandpa's luncheon to grab a few shots.  Yes, it was snowing and my shortest engagement session ever, a whole 8 minutes ... but it was just enough time to capture their love for each other.  :) {Cheese!!! I know but I couldn't help it. All the best for your big day!! Love you!! ~ cuz Kris}

Jeremiah Visits Carpinteria {families}

My good friends Stephanie and Thurston brought their adorable son, Jeremiah, to Carpinteria one sunny weekend and during a walk on the bluffs I caught some quick shots of them playing and having fun.  I just love Jeremiah's expressions and how he's constantly making his parents laugh.  Aww family love!  Click on the images below to watch their cute slide show. {Can't wait to see you again soon! Next time on your turf! XO}

love and anniversary {families}

One year ago I was photographing Mark and Monique's wedding, a day that I will always remember as one of the sweetest of the year.  Mark and Monique are two of my favorite people. They are honest and loving and absolutely devoted to their daughter, Miranda.  Born 2/24/09, it has been a busy and wonderful year for them and watching the three of them interact just might top their wedding day sweetness.  What better way to celebrate Valentine's Day than to be with the ones that you love and who love you. Thank you MMM for letting me capture you one year later. Your love truly inspires. xoXOxo
