Happy Thanksgiving {Hanford Nature Photography}

Happy Thanksgiving! I am thankful for so many things. My family, my cute little kidlets, and all of the amazing places I get to see and photograph.

I am so thankful to all of my 2010 clients - amazing families and babies! Thank you all for choosing me and letting me call this a career. I hope you enjoy Thanksgiving with your loved ones and take a picture or two to remember the day.

Monarchs {Hanford Nature Photography}

On the last day of our recent vacation on the coast, we stopped in at the Pismo Beach Monarch Grove. It's free and pretty remarkable to see 14,000 butterflies* in the trees.


*I am taking their word on the # of butterflies, I did not count them myself... ;)

Do you love butterflies? Would you like to order a print? Please contact me!

My Family {Hanford Family Photography}

We spent Saturday afternoon at Sequoia National Park and took the opportunity to shoot some self-portraits of my family. And some shots of the amazing national park in our backyard. Seriously breathtaking!

Happy Mother's Day!

We spent Mother's Day at lovely Pismo Beach. It was realllllly windy, but gorgeous.

Speaking of gorgeous, my sweet daughter chose out this orchid for me, too. And her Daddy picked another one. Thank you to them both!

Ladybug : : Hanford Nature Photography

This was a great example of how photographs sometimes have a mind of their own. I set out to photograph these beautiful grasses at sunset...

... and quickly got distracted.

... I love ladybugs. But more importantly? My daughter loves ladybugs.

A good distraction, indeed.

Wildflowers : : Hanford Nature Photography

My husband's family owns a large chunk of property in Mariposa County and we are so lucky to get to visit this time of year. The wildflowers put on quite a show! (And I do love me some up-very-close flower photos!)

This first picture may be my favorite-ever flower picture. This is a lupine flower, shot from above.

Same type of flower, different angle.

Up very close & personal!


This is the vine on a wild cucumber - isn't it amazing? These vines twist and reach for branches and then wrap around and around. It's fascinating and so much fun to photograph!



These last four photos are of some of the little bitty flowers - these are all only about 1/2" tall, at the most.
