Remember These Guys?!

 I've had the pleasure of working with these guys through my lens three times now!  Each time it gets more fun :)  Daddy's only been home a few weeks and they are moving away in another 2...crazy how slow  life can seem during a deployment and then how fast it goes when the get home!!  Crazy! 

 Aren't they beautiful together...and look at the beautiful kiddos they've made!

I just love these little ones--they were so great to work with!  Hannah kept asking to hold my hand...so sweet :)  We will miss you guys--good luck in your next adventure!  Maybe we'll meet up again sometime...the corps is so small ;)



Family Q

This family session at the gardens left me with an adrenaline rush for hours!  We were racing the clock and hiding from the mean gardens nazi who didn't want us taking 'professional photos' :)  Crazy!  But we had fun, bribed the kiddos a lot, and got some cute shots :)  I love this family--they emulate love and beauty...

Adorable kiddos, gorgeous parents--makes for some pretty pictures!  Thanks for the fun adventure yesterdary you guys :)  Enjoy!

Miss Molly--3 months!

Miss Molly.  Adorable.  And THREE months old already!  I'm so excited to have the privilege to photograph this little face from newborn through one year.

She is as cute as her name wouldn't you say?!  And a big thank you to the creator of this adorable hat, Tracy Draper!  Check her out at:  Tracy Draper, Crochet for the Wee Ones

Kennadi is TWO!

 I love this little girl!  I've known her since she was but a spark in her mommy's eye, and I've watched her come into her spunky personality over the last two years :)  I cannot believe she is TWO already!  What a blessing she is to all who know her--just adorable. 

Happy Birthday Kennadi!

Cesar--Just for Fun

Lauren Nygard and I met her friend's son Cesar for some fun practice with our flashes and evening light.  Thanks Cesar for being so cooperative! 

 

(We told all his peers who were watching suspiciously that we were 'shooting him for the cover of... (ok I can't remember the skateboarding magazine name)'--wonder if they believed us :)

Happy Birthday Jameson!

 Happy Birthday Baby J!  This is my one and only nephew, and I just cannot believe he is ONE YEAR OLD already!  How does time just pass us by...

Can't help myself, he is just THE CUTEST! 

Baby J you are missed out here in SoCal.  Thanks for visiting you guys!



Will

So Will is my neighbor and one of my daughter's besties.  He is wonderful, adorable, sweet, charming...but above all, CRAZY rambunctious!  I swear he just runs in circles and tackles my daughter (lovingly of course) whenever I see him!  And we love him for it :)  But somehow, by the grace of God and the stars aligning, Will was the absolute perfect model for our little photo session.  I'm telling you... he POSED.  Did whatever I asked him to do (including leaning back on the column and crossing his arms with one knee bent...see below).  Smiled for each photo without the silly fake toddler cheese.  Everyone was astounded, it was a beautiful moment. 

What a honey.  I wouldn't mind at all if he was my future son-in-law ;) 

Thank you Sarah and Patrick for letting me capture this handsome little man on camera you guys, I had so much fun!

O Christmas Tree

Two fun things about this shoot--my neighbors adorable little 2 month old by their Christmas tree, and the studio lights I was able to borrow from another phtog friend for the shoot!  I love the way the studio lights worked with an otherwise near impossible lighting situation, thanks Lauren! Now I have another item on my photography wish list...ha!  This is one expensive hobby... :/  but so worth it! 

Thank you to my neighbors for the opptortunity to try out the lights in your home, you guys have a beatiful family, have a wonderful first Christmas with your little angel!
