I had the opportunity to photograph Christian and his Mom and Dad a couple of days ago at Sonoma State University. He was such an adorable little boy! I will be photographing his Mom and Dads wedding in two weeks, so watch for the upcoming wedding pictures on my blog!

This couple modeled for us during my “How to take Stunning Pictures” Photography class in San Francisco.

Nicole is one of my photography students and offered to bring her husband to our class field trip to San Francisco. Her and her husband were very photographic and relaxed during the photo shoot. After we left the Legion Of Honor Hall we went to the Palace of Fine Arts to photograph one of San Francisco’s most beautiful buildings in the evening light.IMG_6082IMG_6067IMG_6087IMG_6066IMG_6061IMG_6055IMG_6089IMG_6105IMG_6113IMG_6114

I would love to share some of the beautiful pictures from Michele & Gary’s wedding with you. They were married at Flying Cloud Farm in Petaluma. This wedding was so much fun! The bride and groom and all of the bridal party were the best ever! It was a super hot day but that didn’t stop anyone from enjoying all the great moments as the day went on. I hope you enjoy these pictures!RAW_7045_1RAW_5295RAW_5334NEF_5030RAW_3036RAW_3000 bwhcRAW_3001IMG_2094RAW_2228RAW_7049

These are some of the awesome kids that I photographed at Sonoma Mountain High school in Petaluma. We stayed right on the campus using the natural settings of the trees and garden in the back of the school. I would like to say that these kids are the most grateful high school kids I have photographed in a long time, they all really appreciated the time that I gave to each of them and let me know with their “Thank You’s” that I received through out the day.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Hello,

A couple of weeks have gone by and it is time to write in my blog. I wanted to share some beautiful pictures with you to celebrate the gorgeous spring that we encounter in Sonoma County California every year. The hills in our surrounding areas turn a lovely shade of emerald green, however once the rain stops they only last a couple of months. Over the weekend I had an opportunity every photographer would dream about. About 25 miles west of Petaluma I went to an enormous ranch in Pt. Reyes Station and photographed Alisha & J.D among the beauty of it all. J.D.’s grandparents own the 1,000 acres of beautiful land filled with green rolling hills, meadows, creeks, huge rock formations and more. I spent most of the day with them, photographing along 100’s of cows, and capturing a real cowboy working his land, but the best part was getting the chance to photograph a beautiful couple celebrating their love for each other and the beginning of their new life together.

My name is Lynnette Joy and I am excited to start a new year with a new blog. Everyday I get to live out my passion for photography capturing a newborns first smile or documenting generations of growth within families young or old. I get to create lasting visual memories of all kinds of people and give them the gift of beautiful photos. It is my goal to use this Blog to share my passion, because a picture is worth a thousand words!

I wanted to start my new blog with a new baby, one who is very precious and whose parents are very special to me. I photographed little Dominic who is now four months old in my studio a couple of evenings ago. His Mom and Dad are Cece and Joey, they are the couple that everyone loves, full of life and laughter and wants to be near them. I was the lucky photographer who photographed their wedding in 2007, capturing the moments of that day & knowing that their future would be full of laughter and happiness. It was a wonderful moment in my life to be able to capture their baby’s first portraits.
