I LOVE when I get to photograph my friends. I’m so excited for these three as they await the arrival of Baby Girl #2. I know sweet S is going to be a great big sister. And how beautiful is this family, by the way? It was so much fun hanging out with them for a little while. Next time I see them, they will be a family of 4!   Spiced Eggnog coffee pods for my Keurig. Yum! We made salt dough handprint ornaments using this salt dough recipe. We just did Shiloh this year, to match the identical […]

I had the pleasure of photographing this sweet family of four-soon-to-be-five a few weeks back. It was especially lovely because it brought me to my hometown, about an hour-and-a-half southeast of where we live now. Mom requested a magical, ethereal feel for the shoot, which I must admit is my favorite! These four were such a joy to photograph and looked so gorgeous. I can’t wait for the news of Baby Girl #3’s arrival this month!     Christmas time is here! Looking forward to all of the holiday festivities coming up- Christmas light walks, parties, crafting, (more) decorating..it’s the […]

This is the first expecting couple so far that I’ve photographed who chose to wait until the big day to learn the gender of their baby. I admire their patience! Since I did this shoot, the couple has welcomed a healthy baby boy. Congrats to the beautiful little family!     Love is in the air. Going to a friend’s wedding tomorrow. I just adore weddings <3 Not doing a “365” project, per say, but made a vow to myself to pick up my camera at least once a day. iPhones and the like make it so easy NOT to […]

I had the pleasure of spending a lovely evening at the beach with this beautiful mama and her boys. Big brother A was so sweet and patient, letting me take photos without protest even though the nearby playground was calling his name! He’s sure to show his little brother the ropes when he arrives later this fall! Here are some favorites from the session.     Looking SO forward to hubby’s upcoming two-week vacation from work! Lots of family fun planned, including a pumpkin patch visit and pumpkin carving! Decorated the house for Halloween. Might have gone a teeny bit […]

A few weeks back, I ran my first ever giveaway contest on my Facebook page for a free mini session. Earlier in the week, I got to photograph the winner- a gorgeous mama-to-be- and her beautiful little family. We shot at the tropical “garden paradise” Hartley Botanica in Somis- such a breathtaking setting! I had a great time photographing these three (well, four) and I know one-year-old A is going to make a great big sister!     Baby Shiloh is starting to crawl! She gets up on all fours and rocks back and forth and does one crawl or two. […]
