Today is Chris’ birthday! Yea!

Sunday night I planned a surprise birthday party for Chris. It was so much fun. We first met at No Mas! our favorite mexican restaurant that is only a few blocks from our home. We had a small intimate group of our family and some of our closest friends. There to join in on the celebration was My parents (Kyle and Betty Bergen), Chris’ Dad (Hector Torres), my sister Elizabeth and Jason Flowers, Jason’s parents Ron and Yvonne Flowers, my brother Charlie Bergen and his fiance Maggie Shank, Matt and Melissa Yung, Ben and Maria Vigil, Garrett, Joy and Graycen Nudd, and Andrew and Rachel Niesen.







After dinner, we made our way a few blocks away to our studio. There we were all able to talk and enjoy our new place. Everyone met our new scooter too, who arrived that very day. Then we headed up to the rooftop for a private party. We had a couple of cakes and a good time of socializing. It was perfect.


Thank you to EVERYONE who went out of their way to make this a special day for Chris. Thank you to Matt and Ben for documenting our evening!

As our tradition, we do birthday portraits. So Chris’ pictures will be up soon.

I love you babe!

    Mexican food??!! Was this a party for Garrett or Chris! LOL!!!

    Wish we could have been there:-( Happy Birthday Chris!!! By the way, Stick loves the grown out hair (he just buzzed all of his off)!!

Justin and Carla have been wonderful to work with since day one. They are so sweet and tender to each other. Their wedding was a fun time of celebration.

Enjoy your slideshow.

There are many of Carla, she was such a beautiful bride, I had too many to decide between.

Getting ready moments are so fun.

The beautiful Bride.



Justin is such a caring guy. It was fun to see his love for Carla.

One of my favorite images from the day. I love how they are looking at each other sweetly before the big kiss.

    These are excellent. I have been watching your blog off and on since OSP South when our paths crossed. I have been really impressed with your work!

When another photographer asks you to do portraits of them, you have a mixture of feelings. Excitement, honor, and panic. It’s normally hard to photograph photographers. This week, Garrett and Joy asked us to take their family portraits. It was not hard at all. We are all so comfortable with each other that it was a blast. They are such an adorable family and we love all of our time with them.

Enjoy your Slideshow!

Garrett found a fun field to take pictures in. With a lots of earth tones it gave a very earthy feel.

    Hey Heather!

    Thank you for your kind words on this session. We LOVED how it turned out. You would have to ask Garrett where it was though. I would never be able to find it again! : )

    Thanks to everyone else for all your comments. What an honor it was to do this.

    Hi Chris and Katie and Garrett and Joy (Graycen can’t read yet)!

    Yeah, I’m sure you were like “You want us to do WHAT?” when they asked you. No pressure.

    I think my favorite is 087 (slide 47). Really diggin’ it.
