Morgan

Morgan turned 13 the day we took photos - I think 13 is a fantastic age to do a photo shoot as children become teenagers. Morgan is the best 13 year old I know. You are the best, and I can't wait to see you again soon!

Lauren + Nicole

 These two were lots of fun and kept us laughing all morning. I kept calling Lauren Nicole and Nicole Lauren all morning - I could absolutely not tell them apart as you can tell why!

 

   

 

    

Congratulations are in order

Just wanted to say a quick congratulations to my friend Gabriel who is officially retiring from his old job to follow his dream as a wedding photographer - sorry I will miss the festivities to help celebrate! Check out Gabe's website at http://www.gabrielryan.net/photographer/the.art.of.story.html  Anyone needing a wedding photographer in Southern California should check him out! Gabe and his wife Carlie are two of the nicest people you can possibly meet - I met them at a photographer's lunch about a year ago, and I have been a HUGE fan of them and their work ever since.

Happy Father's Day

Goodbye to Kindergarten

I guess I officially have a first grader. Wow. When did this happen? My little baby is growing up too fast! Derek's teachers are retiring after being at our school since 1977! He had an amazing year with an incredible teacher, Ms. Radovcich, and a phenomenal teacher's aide, Mrs. Dawes. We had a great last day with lots of fun crafts and activities for the kids. We took the boys out to celebrate the end of Kindergarten - Derek wanted to go to Eat at Joe's for root beer floats and macaroni and cheese.

Funny!

I love this comic strip by Aaron Johnson. It makes me laugh every day. I had to share this one! Yes, I too need to finish my scrapbooks. Child #1 is looking good, Child #2, well, I am working on it! So much for sitting on the living room floor 20 years from now, looking through old shoeboxes of photos...

Emily

Em, I had so much fun taking your photos - you are such a fabulous young girl and an amazing daughter, sister and cousin.

 

 

Siena is two!

Every once in a while I shoot a birthday party - it is not something I do very often, as I am usually busy with regular photo sessions. However, this weekend it worked out so that I was able to photograph little Siena's second birthday party. Her mom did a fabulous Old Hollywood theme, complete with a red carpet, a show, props, paparazzi (me) and sidewalk stars for all the kids. It was a ton of fun, and Siena is blessed with an incredible family!

The birthday girl fell asleep during the entertainment, so she rested for a bit...

She woke up rested and very ready to enjoy her cake and the red carpet!


 

Amy

How cute is she? It was SO hot, but she just kept on looking sweet and happy!

 

Jake

Jake is the son of one of my best friends. They live in Florida, so when we were out there a week ago, we made sure to make some time to get some photos. He gave me about 15 minutes. He was too busy playing with my boys! Stay tuned for some more photos of our awesome visit to Orlando and of Rita - the dog. Rich, as promised - here is Jake on the blog.
