Another fun Session at the Lake ~ Redlands, California ~ Family Photography

I had a wonderful time meeting up with way too adorable family and doing some family portraits. Not only is this family beyond sweet I absolutely LOVE the East Highlands Ranch’s Lake. I mean geeze! look at this scenery!!! It makes me wish I could live in the Ranch just so I could use the lake on a regular basis for sessions! In fact I love it so much that from now until June I want to offer those who live in & have access to the lake $60 off (regular price) if they want to do sessions there. Contact me for more details turtledovephotography@gmail.com

Anyways, here are a few of my favorite shots from the day.

Passion Pink Kissing ~ Catherdal City & Orange County California ~ Wedding Photography

There are just so many fabulous pictures that I am having a hard time narrowing them down! I think I’ll end up having to make a slide show of the event so that I can post it! The Cimarron Golf Club is just gorgeous, what a perfect venue for a wedding! I don’t think they could have asked for a more beautiful place!

I just love pictures with a little sunflare 🙂




Of course a couple from the evening fun!

I absolutely love this shot! The beautiful pink light from the party lights, provided by Renowned Events, set a stage for a very passionate kiss!

Bride Hitches a Ride ~ Wedding Photography ~ Palm Springs & Redlands, CA

After taking several months off from shooting weddings (hello, I had a baby) 🙂 it was so fun to get back into the swing of things! I almost forgot how much I absolutely LOVE weddings. This bride and groom were a blast and up for just about anything and we had a blast taking pictures and joking around! Here is a small sneak peak from their wedding! I’m sure I’ll end up posting more as there are just SO many that I love!

Don’t you hate it when your golf cart breaks down at your own wedding!

Incredible Flying Baby ~ Family Photography ~ Redlands, CA & Peru, IN~

What a fun session indeed. This absolutely handsome little guy is just one month shy of turning the infamous ONE. This is such a huge deal and completely bittersweet for most parents. You go from having a sweet little baby to having a toddler. You no longer age them by months now it is years & half years. Your sweet little one is growing up and learning how to do new things every day. I had an awesome time meeting, laughing and of course taking pictures of this family 🙂 Here is the official sneak peek 🙂



I absolutely LOVE this shot! Look how happy this baby is!

Poor mommy was stressing for this one. I can totally relate I remember when my first born was a baby I was deathly afraid for my husband to do anything like this. . . Now 3 kids later I am constantly throwin the baby in the air and making her laugh. Oh how things change :p

An hour later this little guy was DONE. Look at that sleepy face <3

Achoo ~ Wedding Photographer ~ Redlands, CA & Peru, IN ~

I love weddings. There is just something about everyone dressed up and looking great and having a huge party to celebrate love! One of my favorite things about weddings is the flowers. I absolutely ADORE the different bouquets. The different colors & the smells of all of the fragrant flowers. I thought it would be fun to learn the history of wedding bouquets and I must say I was fascinated by what I learned. For instance did you know that bridal bouquets have been around since ancient times? Originally the bouquet wasn’t even made up of flowers at all! Instead it was made up of Garlic and other herbs and spices & was thought to ward off evil spirits. However, when Queen Victoria married Prince Albert she decided to use flowers instead of the other stuff. I must say that she definitely had the right idea 🙂 Where as flowers may cause some people to sneeze I would much rather smell the beautiful fragrances then garlic hahaha.

I thought it would be fun to add in some of my favorite bouquets 🙂

I LOVE EASTER ~ Redlands, CA ~ Kid Photography

I absolutely adore Easter. It is my favorite holiday and has been since I was a little girl. I know I am a complete weirdo and you are probably thinking what kind of crackhead has EASTER for their favorite holiday?! Well that would be me! I don’t know what it is about Easter that always gives me the warm fuzzies but it is DEFINITELY there. Maybe it is the fact that growing up my mom would always make something super yummy to eat (like ham or spinach casserole), or perhaps it is the cadbury bunny eggs & chocolate bunnies. Maybe it is all the sweet little baby chicks and the pretty pastel colors & flowers. I honestly don’t know, but whatever it is, I LOVE EASTER! Anyways, I wanted to just post a couple “Easter” pictures.

Another picture of Sweet Baby Z!

My little goofballs


Her awesome ‘bunny’ impression :p

And one of my little man on my awesome new background 😀
