Finally...a little GIRL!!!

I can't begin to tell you how excited I was the day I found out my friend Cristy was having a girl. It was my Mom's birthday, I was sitting in a restaurant and I started screaming and jumping up and down like a lunatic! To understand my very strange reaction, you'd have to go way back. You see, Cristy and I shared the same affliction of same sex children, LOL! I had the girls and she had the boys (the very VERY adorable boys). She only has nephews and I... well, you know about my girl fest (3 daughters and 4 nieces, NO NEPHEWS!!!) So, even today, we still think the day will come when she will go into labor and surprise, surprise, it'll be a boy. I'm not sure the repeated ultrasounds will do anything to convince her. :) So here is her "last" maternity session and we decided to go all out and make it a very GIRLY one. Yes everyone, make-up and all! ;) I'm thrilled to be a part of this and am so glad that Maylin introduced us 5 years ago my friend! You've turned out to be quite the keeper. Muah!!!

More Communion...

Here's another little beauty to add to the collection I've had the pleasure to photograph this year. I love that we were able to squeeze in a few with her baby sister. These girls all have such beautiful hair!!!

Lovely Mama-to-be!

I've had the pleasure of knowing this pretty mama-to-be since she was in middle school with my little brother! It's so great that I get to capture this time for her. I love that I'll have the honor of photographing baby Austin for his first year of life, so many sweet memories to come!!! Thank you Ivy and Juan for this privilege and may the next 3 weeks be speedy and comfortable. xoxo

Another Smash the Cake Session!

Oh Mr. James... always so shy in the beginning! And then just when the fun is beginning, it's time to up and leave. :( I'm so excited about getting to photograph him this summer with the whole family! I'm dying for a chance to hang out with his big brothers! Thank you Mom for the cupcakes, the girls devoured them after lunch. :)
And thank you soooo much for the flowers! They are still beautiful and vibrant today!
