Sidenote...

I just had to let everyone know that...

...I have a brand new iMac sitting on my desk.
CRAZY!
I have no idea how to work it....but I have one!

Never thought I'd own a Mac.... =)

Time to Play!

So, my little Abbey is part of a playgroup...and I decided that it might be fun to take some photos of her new friends.
It was so much fun capturing them. They were all so different...and adorable as always!
Here are just a few of the kids from that day.
Hopefully you wonderful mommies out there can find some good use for these precious ones!!! Oh, and a HUGE thanks to Erin for allowing us to hold playgroup in her beautiful backyard!

And a double thanks to Jen for the PERFECT ladder! Loved that thing!!!

Okay, this one just melted my heart!


More kiddos to come!!!

As for the Taylor Family...

They were fantastic!


This shoot was extra special because Alisa and I went to graduate school together. She was pregnant when we graduated...and three years later...I got to see her beautiful little girl for the first time!

Is she precious, or what?Alisa wanted some fun relaxed photos that really captured little Eleanor...I think we did it.Beautiful family! Those curls!

Okay, I couldn't have 'ordered' a better fall location than this! It's like the trees just knew we were coming!


Time for mom and dad to play dress-up too!
Is she proud of herself or what?! What a ham!Alisa, your family is beautiful...thank you for allowing me to 'play' with you guys!

The Mendez Ladies

How beautiful is this group of women?
This is so cool...Claudia and her five girls decided to give Dad a Christmas gift that he would NEVER forget!
Okay, so I guess he'll see them everyday---hanging on the walls of his home...
But, mostly because looking at their beautiful faces definitely leaves an imprint...
It did for me, anyway!
It was so fun photographing them. Notice their eyes...amazing!
Aged 5 to 15, they all had such different personalities!

This is the lively, outgoing one! She was up for anything AND everything!Okay, I love this photo...call me crazy. I just had to post it.It was amazing to me how much they loved each other! What a blessing!The youngest was the shy one...so adorable!Lots of action...

The cheerleading sister...The sporty sister...These gals were very close...so we decided to take a couple of photos with just them. So sweet.The oldest sister is very into art...
And...that's a wrap! Mendez girls...you were awesome! Thanks for allowing me to be a part of the fun and surprise. Your dad is going to love 'em!

God Bless!

My Little 'Big' Girl...

8 months old.

Why do they have to grow up so fast?

'Tis the Season!

So, I was so excited to photograph some of my favorite people to kick off the holiday season! My good friend, Melissa Koehler and her beautiful family met me up in Poway to take a few shots before Aiden's One Year Birthday Party. It was so much fun!
We had to go to extreme measures to get Aiden to smile for the camera!
Aiden LOVES his mommy!
I think he was done here....he's waving goodbye!
Thanks you guys! It was a lot of fun!
