Pure Innocence...

When I think of the color white and all it represents, I understand the relevance of the baptismal gown. Here is this handsome little boy, a clean slate, ready to take on the world. It truly reminds me what a job we have as parents! Here is baby James, so shy and sweet when we first met. Little by little, he revealed his little personality to me and by the end of our session, I was getting that little spark in his eye to match his playful smile. It was a joy to have him (and Mom) in my studio! I can't wait to photograph the rest of the family.

Andres turns 1 year!

I love that I've been photographing this family since their firstborn was a little peanut! I can't believe how fast time has gone by since I first met Andres. He looked like a little Asian baby, absolutely delicious! You can find both him and his beautiful redheaded sister gracing the photo galleries of my new website. Here they both are just hanging out at home, and what a beautiful home it is!

Miss Arianna!

Well, another beautiful Arianna has graced us with her presence! I was so excited to learn her name and to know that her name is spelled just like my firstborn! I love her name!!! That little tiny bug could drink some serious milk! Poor Mommy got peed on a few times, but I learned this is completely normal in their household, lol! She didn't discriminate though. Daddy and I got our fair share as well. :) Well, help me welcome Miss Arianna! I included one photo for Daddy (Minnie) and one for Mommy (butterflies) as they each have their own favorite.

Lucas is Here!!!

There are lots of rewarding things about being in this profession and this is definitely one of them. I've known the Brea family since the very beginnings of their budding relationship back in '95. My God how time flies, that was almost 15 years ago! I was honored to be part of their wedding and now I've been able to capture their two beautiful children! And now they have their picture-perfect family and will always have a partner on Disney rides. ;) I really had a hard time narrowing down my blog selection. I always overshoot...
















and giving me the face after ragging on her for shushing in the poor child's ear (her calming tactic). Hee hee! :)

Love is in the air...

I LOVE all things Valentine!!! The chocolate, the little hearts with messages, the corny cards, did I mention the chocolate? So it's no surprise that every year, I get all swept away with cute little ideas for gifts. This year, I've thought of giving my husband a little wallet-sized accordian album with pictures of "moi", but of course I can't find anyone to take my portrait. Any takers??? I also found this fabulous website with beautiful frames that I'm going to use, www.fireflyframesanddesign. By the end of January, I'll be drunk with love. ;) Here are a few from my latest Valentine's session (Did I mention there are only 5 more slots available? 2 this Saturday and 3 next Saturday). These kids are so cute with dimples and all!!! And I didn't forget my Mia. Here she is with her new and adorable little heart clippy!!!









Her new facial expression:

Oh the lovely choices!!!

You've read about my mini-Valentine session special, but now you get to see all the choices you have for mini cards!!! Each 2x3.5 card comes printed on thick glossy card stock on front and back with or without rounded corners (your choice!). They also come with little white vellum envelopes ready to hand out to classmates, friends, and family! Classmates and teachers will LOVE them and your family will carry them in their wallets!!!
