Trevor & Terra are good friends of ours and they are expecting their sweet baby girl very soon!
The sun was slowly disappearing behind the hills off of Hwy 68 and all I could think about was what a beautiful family they are.

Happy Birthday Love!
Happy Birthday my love. As we waited for 12:00 a.m. last night so I could tell you happy birthday, I couldn’t have felt more happy to be able to tell you that every year.
You asked me what song should be the first one you play at your new age on your guitar and I told you “Lucky” by Colbie Caillat and Jason Mraz. There we sat at midnight singing…now as I am writing this I see first hand how corny that sounds, but I wouldn’t want to be that corny with anyone else!
I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend, Happy Birthday sweetheart :)
Love,
Monika
P.S. here’s to 1o more strokes off your golf swing this year like you did last ;-)

Music Monday | Jimmy Needham
Yesterday evening I photographed a styled shoot and I tend to get very excited after amazing sessions. The weather was PERFECT, and in Monterey that is not always promised. On my way home I belted out love songs to express my joy of capturing well, love. It didn’t stop there, as I put my head on my pillow to fall asleep I replayed snapshots of moments we captured while the melody of Jimmy Needham guided the images along in my brain. I cannot get away from it, I tend to have music in my head while shooting, and I also want to belt out corny love songs after shooting couples. It just happens!!
Today for Music Monday we have Jimmy Needham. His soulful voice gives me goosebumps, and this song is even more precious because he wrote the song as a proposal to his now wife. I posted a live video that someone took from, I am assuming their camera, so I have the lyrics below the video. Happy Monday!
You’re my unfathomable precious unimaginable joy
And you’re exceedingly excited and abundantly more than I could ask for
With your hand in mine we will pass through time and space
And every second, every minute, every hour of every day I’ll say
CHORUS
My unfailing love for you will not be moved
For you will not be moved
My unfailing love for you
And though the mountains be shaken
And the hills be removed
Yet my unfailing love for you
He tells a story of a King coming in glory and He is
And that same Man who devised that plan united ours with His
And so hand in hand we will walk with Him as our two become as one
And all the promises He promises to us He promises will never be undone
Be my wife
Family Getaway | San Luis Obispo Maternity Photos
My brother and sister in law rented a beautiful home in San Luis Obispo full of personality and character Easter weekend this year for our family. The home was built in 1905 and spans 100 acres with horse and cattle grazing and gorgeous scenic views of the Edna Valley and Islay hill. It was a photographers dream to stay here, and luckily my sister in law was almost 8 months pregnant so we were able to take some photos of Jon & Heidi on the property :)
We even had our own OUT HOUSE!
We had to get a family farm photo ;)
They’re the sweetest…
I died with these photos. I think Heidi looks insanely gorgeous, and is basically the poster woman for all pregos.
And last a casual candid, hanging out on the beach…enjoying the last month before little Tyler comes into the world and changes our lives forever :)
