Happy Sunday! It has been a fun and very full wee Happy Sunday!  It has been a fun and very full week and a half of almond blossom photo sessions.  From the beautiful Almond Blossom Court to family portraits to senior portraits, I've loved every minute.  I also love creating beautiful landscape photos and when @karriout shared this location with me, I just had to drive by and check it out.  Doesn't the opening in the back wall of the barn look like a cross?  Or is it just me seeing that?  I'm hoping I can wake up early one of these mornings and see if the sunrise would shine through the opening.  Wouldn't that be amazing!  We've sure had a wonderful week of beautiful weather, stunning sunsets, and beautiful landscapes as the almond blossoms are in full bloom.  #rachaelvenemaphotography #rvplandscapes #landscapephotography #oldbarn #almondblossoms #almondorchard #cross #almondtrees #sunset

There's nothing better than ending a family photo session in the almond blossom orchard and stepping out into a beautiful sunset.  #rachaelvenemaphotography #sunset #sunsetsilhouette #almondblossomphotosession #almondblossoms #familyphotos #almondorchard #blossomphotos #sunburst

Almond Blossom season is here! As you drive aroun Almond Blossom season is here!  As you drive around the valley you can see the trees starting to bloom.  It's quite amazing how quickly they are here and in two to maybe three weeks, they will be gone.  I encourage you to take a drive around the Central Valley and check out the almond blossoms.  It's quite a stunning site to see!  I'm looking forward to the portrait sessions I have this weekend in the almond blossoms.  #rachaelvenemaphotography #rvpstudio #riponca #almondblossoms #centralvalley #blossoms #centralvalleyblossoms #riponcablossoms #blossomsinthecentralvalley #centralvalleyalmondblossoms #northerncaliforniaalmondblossoms #almondblossomseason #almondblossombloom #blooms
It is always my goal to allow a person to be comfo It is always my goal to allow a person to be comfortable during their photo session.  There is nothing comfortable about having a camera in your face. When the photographer helps you relax and not think so much about being photographed, that is when a photo can be created of you that shows you and your personality.  I always have people laugh while I'm taking their photo so their eyes smile.  When the person's whole face smiles and reaches their eyes, you can actually see their personality in their photo.  Check out the beautiful business portrait I created for Angie.  It truly is a joy to create a photo that someone loves of themselves that they can use to promote their business.  If you need a quote on insurance... contact Angie.  You'll receive the best service ever. If you need a professional business portrait, read Angie’s review and then contact our studio.  I promise the experience will go above and beyond your expectations.  @gigi_rb #businessportrait #rvpheadshots #rvpstudio #riponcaphotographystudio #centralvalleyphotographystudio #businessmarketing #beautifulyou #youarebeautiful #loveyourself #smile #headshot #marketing #brand
Since the weather outside is cloudy and raining, I Since the weather outside is cloudy and raining, I thought I'd post this photo of my girl to bring some sunshine and smiles your way.  She was at the studio with me and had this cute dress on.  We didn't do anything fancy with her hair.. just left it as is.  We laughed and she twirled and made all these funny facial expressions.  This girl is my strong willed child.  What I've come to realize is that she is a gift to me, even though there are days that are so hard.  What's interesting is, for others she is quite a delight.  So every day, even though I don't always get to see it.. I will try to focus on how her eyes sparkle when she is excited about something.  How she waves at me over and over after I drop her off at school.  How she loves being creative and having fun.  How much she loves her friends and people.  She's an amazing little girl that is growing up right before my eyes.  The past 8 years have gone by so fast, that I feel like I'm trying to pull back on the reigns on time to make it slow down.  So enjoy her big smile to bring some sunshine to your day.  #rachaelvenemaphotography #myabbydoo #mygirl #strongwilledchild #delightinyourchildren #instamom #motherhood #mother #riponca #rvpstudio #rvpchildren #studioportraits #riponcaphotographystudio #studioportraits #delightinyourchild #sunshine #rainbows #brightsmiles #smile #happy
