Cute As A Button

 One of my favorite families to photograph recently had a little boy...he is adorable! The family already has three darling little girls and this little bug will add a new dynamic to the very girl friendly household...reminds me of me and my sisters growing up! His eyes were such a lovely, cloudy blue and he was completely alert to everything going on around him! I had never photographed a baby before and was so exited when she let me come over! He was so good but you could tell that afterwards he was not so sure he liked the crazy girl with the camera :]

Siblings and Shells

I've been friends with this girl for YEARS! Her family is so much fun and these pictures were a blast!! They wanted to take pictures for their mom for Christmas and these are the lovely results :]

Experiments are not always Scientific

I recently bought the Adobe Photoshop CS5 and decided to experiment with it...its way complicated! But... I am so proud of my lovely result! I named it "My Idea of Heaven"

Paper White Christmas

Growing up, my sisters and I made it a tradition to watch "White Christmas" every year during the christmas season. We loved the dancing the songs and especially the song "Sister, Sister"! My inspiration for this shoot was the song "White Christmas". I loved the way the grass contrasted with the white paper snowflakes that also highlights the very un-white California Christmas :]

LOVE this! 

The Goose is Getting Fat

I can not believe it is November! Christmas will soon be here and I was asked to do Christmas family photos for a friend who loves to cook! Her two boys were so funny during the entire shoot telling jokes and were such good sports! I have never shot in this lighting so it was a completely new experience for me and I also tried Black and White... the peppermint shot is my absolute favorite! Enjoy :)

The Grass is Greener

As I said in my last post, Green, Greener, Greenest, I just could simply not help myself when I saw how the rain had brought about so much lovely green!! Last minute photo-shoots are always fun so much fun, Elizabeth agreed and I began piecing together her outfit, hair and off we went! The lighting seemed perfect and made for some beautiful pictures... or should I say lovely!

Green, Greener, Greenest

Oh my Goodness! The weather has been crazy bipolar! Its 100 degrees one week than 40 the next! But I have to admit, I absolutely LOVE the aftermath of the rain. Everything is so green, so lovely! This is the same spot where I shot Shoes, Balloons...and Cupcakes yet the rain completely changed the scenery! I could not help taking some pictures before the green disappears again! Pictures to come soooon :)
