First Holy Communion

I am so behind in my blogging. I guess I will blame the spring weather... Anyway, I had two sweet little girls two days in a row receiving their first communion. Such different children and so beautiful in their own unique ways. It was really fun to work with these families in a wedding-like setting, but without the bridezillas! hee hee.

My Brother's Visit

This post is long overdue, since my brother and his son came to visit an entire month ago! Luckily, the weather was awesome and we were able to do all of the usual fun So-Cal activities. I was also able to photograph them. My brother, who is a musician, got some new head shots. We also got some cute pics for my nephew to take back home. We miss you guys already!

Welcome Baby Ivan

Our neighbors recently ended their long journey of adopting a baby boy from Russia. I had the privilege of photographing them a couple weeks later. You would never know that little Ivan hasn't been in the family all along. He was happy as can be and so full of energy I could barely keep up with him. Congratulations guys. We are so happy for you!

More Kids

I think Most of the Christmas cards are in the mail so I can finally share some of these families I've photographed in the last few months. Here are a couple little ones that could have jumped right out of a Ralph Lauren ad. Awesome styling, mom...

Can you say Beautiful?!!

How can your pictures look bad when your kids look like this? I wish I could post more, but I don't want to spoil any holiday card surprises!

Daddy's Girl

Since I had this week off (from photographing families, not Halloween craziness) I thought I would post this cute shot I snapped of my friends at the beach a couple of months ago. Can you tell this is a Daddy's girl?

At last...a peek for Jennifer...

Sunday morning I bundled up bright and early to shoot this north county family. Right away Nathan and Kaitlin (sure hope I spelled that right) ran into the woods to do some exploring. Nate found a rock, which he affectionately named "rockie", and carried it around the entire shoot! You would never know Dad had a twisted ankle, and Mom was wearing heals as they scaled countless rocks to get that perfect family photo. And did I mention no complaints? These guys should be professionals! :)
