Veronica at Venus Salon

I've been shooting weddings for along time. I've made some great friends along the way who have been in this industry for awhile as well. One very talented make up artist is Veronica Abel. Veronica's charming personality and creativity as an artist, make her a great fit for getting brides totally stunning on their wedding day. I was so honored when she asked me to photograph her own wedding last September. After the photos were delivered, Veronica treated me to the most amazing facial treatment that I've EVER had! She has an adorable salon on Channel Islands Boulevard

I've been waiting to post this wedding of Sean and Jocelyn. I wanted to talk to them first. Let them seen them, first. Their baby daughter was ill over the weekend, and they wanted to wait to view the photos at a later time. Just sums up the commitment that they made to one another....My prayers are with you and your beautiful family. Much love, RS

Jocelyn and Sean, Olivas Adobe, Ventura

I am about ready to post Jocelyn and Sean's wedding photos. I had done their engagement/family session on a day that was a little crazy, filled with fires! They were all so pleasant and in spite of the wind, they all came together to capture a moment before their lives came together forever. It was a tropical as we could get on a fire ridden Saturday morning.

wrapping the present

I'm a big fan of the holidays. Both mine and both my boys are all born in the last two weeks of December. We were always a retail family. Only getting to enjoy the actual day off. Cramming all the holiday into about eight hours. I learned to wrap presents fast and usually really late at night so I'm pleasantly surprised that Jonathan has developed a talent that I don't possess. His Christmas present to me was soo nicely wrapped! It was so pretty that I took a photo of it. Presentation and motivation behind the gift are soo appreciated! Thanks, Jon and Josh for my Christmas presents.
