Relaxing in Mexico

Here are just a few “personal” photos from our trip down to Santa Veronica, Mexico a few weekends ago. Such a great place and a relaxing time!

The Sanders : Santa Veronica, Mexico Family Session on Film

A few weekends ago we ventured south to Santa Veronica, Mexico and stayed at one of our favorite little resorts, Hacienda Santa Veronica for the weekend. I was so blessed to be able to photograph one of my dear friends Dana- who I’ve known since junior high- with her sweet hubby Joel and their little boy Gunnar, who just turned one over the weekend! {Happy Birthday Gunnar!} Dana and Joel are expecting baby #2 just a week after my due date this November! So exciting. This is one of my favorite shoots to date… although, who am I kidding?! Every shoot is my favorite shoot to date. :)

These were all shot on my Contax 645 with Kodak Portra 400 film = my new fav.

Becoming three… baby Schneider!

For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.

2013 05 21 0001 Becoming three... baby Schneider!

We are so excited and so very blessed to announce that our first baby will be here in November.

Thank you, Lord, for this gift!

Shayle : A Beautiful Country Senior Session

I had so much fun photographing this gorgeous girl’s senior pictures a few months ago! Shayle will be graduating from El Capitan High School next month and then she’ll be off to Arizona in the fall! We did her session out in Dulzura when the grass was still a bright green – I love springtime. Unfortunately now the heat is here and it’s looking like a hot summer!

Congratulations, Shayle! I wish you all the best! :)

VW Desert Inspiration Shoot on Film

Several weeks ago we ventured out to the local desert for a fun inspiration shoot with a special mom and dad-to-be and their VW bus. Kristina & Matt are old friends and former wedding clients, and they are preparing to welcome their first little boy, Wesley, into the world in just a few weeks! Our boho-themed desert vision was brought to the life by the fab Kayla O’Rourke.

All images were shot on a Contax 645 unless otherwise noted. Enjoy. :)
