Happy Birthday Hayvn!!

Hayvn is 1 years old today! It was so fun to capture him on his actual Birth Day! I loved being able to go to his house and capture some lifestyle photos of his 'domain'. Cameron actually shot his parents wedding back when he first started back in his film days. It's so neat to watch our clients families grow and get to see where their lives have taken them. We love you Jeremy, Sarah, and Hayvn!!










How cute are these little baby Toms Shoes!

Sweet Pepper

Meet Pepper. I can't normally handle spicy but this little girl is one sweet Pepper I can't get enough of. From the first time I met her she was smiling. She is one of the happiest babies I have ever seen!! This was such a fun session because she didn't quit! Her Mom Ashleigh, had these photos done for her Dad for Fathers Day - What a fun gift!






I especially love these last two - They are both so beautiful!


My wonderful husband, Cameron, shot Peppers parent's wedding just last year. Check out Shayne + Ashleigh's pictures on his blog!

Connolly Family

Meet the Connolly Family. They are such awesome people!! Recent Central Coast dwellers they branched off to bigger waters. They wanted to do a shoot before their move to the San Diego area and I was so excited to capture their loving family. They are not only amazing people but creative and inspiring entrepreneurs. Clayton is a super talented musician and he and his wife Jessica started Acholi Beads. I am sure you have seen the beads in stores around the area and now they are being sold all over the U.S. Their hearts are golden and their mission is love. They empower people affected by war and injustice in Uganda by selling their handmade jewelry – from recycled magazines! They are so beautiful. Make sure to check out their website and find out what it’s all about and how you can help.

Reuben

Sweet little Reuben is here! He made his presence known on April 21, 2009 at 9:09am. He weighed a light 9lbs 10oz and 22 inches long. In these pictures he was a whole 1 day old. He doesn't know it yet but he will soon - his parents are the coolest and we love them.






I especially love this last one - how his little pinky is up. He's already so proper.

My Family

Over the Holidays I shot some images of our family for some Christmas Cards. I had a blast and the weather was Amazing! The clouds looked like they were going to dump so we had some fun with the flashes and the kids did too! This is my gorgeous sister and her family – my 4 beautiful nephews/niece. It has been so fun to watch them grow into these beautiful people with amazing personalities. It’s so fun to have a different relationship with each of them. As I have posted before – I LOVE BEING AN AUNT!






The boys wanted to try out their ‘Ninja Skills’.

Baby K

Sweet baby 'K' is so precious. I love when parents come on the day of the shoot and say - "He/She is sort of shy" or "They are not the most smiley today". That just means I get to crack them! I admit, I have no problem acting like a complete fool to get a smile from a little face. Plus - it's my job!!! I want to enter into that babies world instead of trying to make them perform. Baby K was no sweat. She was fed, changed, napped, and ready to go. Here are a few from that session:
