I cannot even believe Brayden’s interest in letters right now.  He’s constantly talking about them and making their sounds.  Pointing them out all over the place.  And he is totally into trying to write them.  In the past few weeks, his interest in anything that has to do with coloring, drawing and crafty kind of […]

I nearly can’t handle the cuteness of all these adorable babies coming my way.  And all the gorgeous families!  These mini-sessions have been a blast. . . hopefully it will be a yearly tradition.  So glad that I was able to photography these good friends of ours.  I am thankful that we were finally able […]

I was super excited to do pictures of a family with older kids.  I love shooting little kids. . . they are always adorable.  But it was really refreshing not to have to make a fool out of myself behind the camera to get them to smile.  And isn’t this family gorgeous?  Three beautiful girls. […]

It’s always nice to get lucky and have a gorgeous day when you are scheduled to do sessions.  On Saturday I was supposed to have four!  But it was FREEZING and horribly windy.  I ended up canceling three of them since there were going to be wee babies involved.  But my dear Encina friends braved […]

I nearly died when this little baby’s momma took him out of his car seat and he gave me the biggest baby smile I have ever seen in my life.  His whole face lit up.  Talk about seriously cute.  Seriously.   Here are some favorites from the session–although seriously, this child was so photogenic that […]

Some mornings are full of agenda items for us.  Brayden has school twice a week for a couple hours, we often have appointments. . . sometimes there is MOPS.  But I treasure the days when we have nothing on the schedule.  We can just sit home, hang out and be lazy.   I need those […]

The First Christmas toy of the season has made it out of the attic.  Last year at this time, we definitely had our whole house decorated.  We’re a little behind in the game this year–adding a second child and a home business to the plate makes little wiggle room in the free time department.  But […]

This is what we woke up to this morning.   And I have two words about that: what on earth? are you for real? wasn’t it just summer? . . . like, yesterday?  and i’m not ready to face my first winter with two children–bundling them and getting them in and out of the car […]

I’m sorry for all of you faithful blog readers that my blog has recently been overtaken by mini-shoot posts.  I promise–this is the last one for awhile.  What a whirlwind that was!  A fun whirlwind though.  Here is the last group of pictures from my sessions last week.  Talk about an adorable baby.  How cute […]
