Chris and Amy are some of my favorite people and closest friends. We have known each other since High School (don't ask how long ago that was, it's been a while) they were in our wedding and are a huge part of our lives. My girls adore them and they feel like family. We do game nights and celebrate all the life stuff together, birthdays, holidays, house warmings, and baby showers. We even rang in the New Year together!
I'm so excited that they will be welcoming a baby boy this coming spring, and they couldn’t be happier. These two exceptional people served in the Air Force and after living in Colorado, Sad Diego, and Los Angeles moved home to Bakersfield to settle down and start a family.
This was the first time I used the Kern River Bed near River Walk park for photos and this quickly became my go to spot for fall family sessions, the light was amazing and the wild undergrowth and trees gave the images a lushness that can be hard to find here in Bakersfield. Chris loves the outdoors and especially enjoyed walking around the river bed and little bit of wilderness we found. The park was great with the little stream running through and the rocks made for a great place to pose them for a few shots.
I’m sure they would have been easy to photograph even if I hadn’t known them before. With their maternity session coming up and a new baby boy due soon, 2017 is shaping up to be an amazing adventure for this wonderful couple. I’m so happy for them and wish them all the happiness in the world. I'm looking forward to meeting their baby boy when he arrives in a few months and helping to capture his first year! He will be so loved by these two amazing people.
